Playlists
219 Ten Years After
Some early Blues-rock for a change, and a band that got a big lift from their appearance at Woodstock, Ten Years After. Guitar speed merchant Alvin Lee was their frontman, and a reputation for really entertaining live shows got them noticed. We looked at their years on the Deram label, covering their biggest successes.
046R Pink Floyd part II
The second part of our four-part History of Pink Floyd, curated by Malaclypse and newly-polished for the occasion. Covering Atom Heart Mother to Wish You Were Here, lots of longish tracks, but plenty to keep the audience interested. 20 connections/listeners for a lot of the show, very encouraging 🙂
218 MOULa Thirteenth Anniversary
Given the laundry list of items associated (by retailers for the most part) with thirteenth anniversaries, it was surprisingly difficult to find enough tracks – so the criteria were widened a bit. Given a list of lace, furs, textiles. Citrine, Opal, Malachite, Moonstone, chrysanthemums and white rose, I allowed a bit of slack to include fabric, weaving, cloth and clothes, all nondescript roses and yellow, since citrine is yellow quartz. That let me assemble a nice set of tracks, with assistance from the stashes of Hugh and Malaclypse, who also assisted with notes.
We had up to 34 connections to the stream, a good number for RFD and very good for any niche Internet radio channel. Our thanks to all our listeners
085R Moula Anniversary
This show is based on our first ever MOULa Anniversary show but with many updates to address the pass of time and the different presenters. Sadly, Malaclypse’s connection failed for reasons we are not yet sure of, and I had to do the show solo. This is something that has not afflicted us for several years now, and is the reason we give a brief warning about it at the start of the show. We had a large gap of silence in the first few minutes, which was regrettable. Good listener numbers despite that, and a good response from the cavern too.

217 Manfred Mann’s Earth Band
A nice set of tracks from a band that, despite it’s several big hits, was never big in the album charts on either side of the Atlantic. Very prog rock in places, but with a good number of big hit singles, which we covered.
087R Blokes
Originally entitled ‘Boys’, but on reflection, Blokes was a much more descriptive title. Dialog was completely rewritten, as the original was just a bit too clunky.
Peak 20 listeners, which was satisfying. I have to mention that the remastered shows are reworked, as the title suggests, and are in no way inferior to our new shows.
216 Lost in 2022
Our regular annual look back at musicians lost in the previous year had extra sadness this time, with one of our own from the cavern, DifferentDave, being among those memorialised.
042R A History of Pink Floyd part 1
Our first show of the year, and we were all getting over the holiday I think, with a smaller but no less enthusiastic audience than we are used to.
The History will be spaced out over several weeks, to avoid overloading on Pink. and indeed on Floyd.

215 Christmas with Radio Free D’ni, 2022
A show to round off the year and wish all our listeners a Merry Christmas season and a guid New Year. Some old favourites and a lot of new things as well, all well appreciated by our listeners in the Cavern and outside too. 27 connections at best, and of course we don’t know how many folks are listening on each connection.
084R Have a Drink On Us
Drinking-related songs, and not all to do with alcohol. Useful as preparation for the party season, maybe.
