A selection of laid-back tracks suitable for a late summer afternoon’s relaxation.  And also an antidote to our often frantic pace.  Well attended and appreciated, and we did not take any advantage of the somnambulent state of some of our audience to relieve them of their valuables.  Honest, guv, it just fell into me hand.

A show long anticipated, put together for us by a collaborater from the cavern, and given a final polish with help from the Radio Free D’ni team.  Possibly the most recent band we’ve featured as the subject of a whole show, it was interesting to all of us and may have converted one or two.

Preshow was live/accoustic stuff, postshow was collaborations, live performances and a track from Thom Yorke’s new band Smile.

Updated from its first broadcast with some new tracks and better linking.  I liked it, but I’m a bit biased.  A very wide selection of genres and styles, yes, a smörgåsbord for breakfast.  I got Alan’s Psychedelic Breakfast out of the way in the preshow, which was padded out with stuff from the H section of the stash, Hayseed Dixie and Huey Lewis and the News.

The breakfast theme included Cyril Tawney’s Chicken on a Raft, a made-up sea shanty – Cyril served on diesel submarines – and includes some Royal Navy slang : a short glossary is included below Continue reading →

Ed chooses his favourite tracks from the past years new shows, and puts together a show of them.  Very well attended, with at most 30 listeners, a good number for any Internet radio channel.

A remastered version of our 75th show, hence the shiney stuff.  Over 20 on the stream, so a good audience, and most appreciative in the Cavern.

A show featuring a very popular musician of great worldwide fame who is still touring at age 73, twenty years after his most recent studio album was released.

A peak of 27 listeners, which may sound disappointing, but it was Mysterium weekend and during the summer holidays, so it’s a solid result.

The preshow had Billy in some of his previous bands and on some early demos.

A second batch of Rock Humour, featuring some of the bands that we missed the first time around.    Mostly good clean fun, and a peak of 20 listeners. not bad for a summer holiday show.

Preshow was from my stash, end of the G’s and a first H.

A fine show, enthusiastically created by Hugh, covering a relatively forgotten time in the band’s history, after their big hits.  It was well received, with several comments from the audience appreciating the chance to hear tracks from these years and sparking renewed interest in the albums.

A favourite band for me, and one that has a small but enthusiastic following still.  Lots of folks attended, so we may have spread the word a bit.

Some extras – album versions of the live tracks, and a nice coda from Civilian.

A show meant for the Solstice itself, but pushed back by circumstances beyond my control.  Well received, over 30 listeners, which is a good number for a holiday season show.  I did work hard to put a good set together, and am glad it went down well.  Thank you all for listening in and giving us feedback, we listen and improve.
