144R Not Dark Yet
Subtitled “The Songs of Bob Dylan” we had a selection of cover versions and originals from a most significant source of music. A slight technical hiccup meant we lost the stream for a few minutes, but our audience numbers show that most of you held on and reconnected once we had things back on the air. Thanks for your patience 🙂
Robert Allen Zimmerman
This week, we’ll look at the work of one of the most prolific songwriters of the US, whose career has produced quite a bit of controversy, but delightfully little scandal. Since this is about his work, and not about the man who calls himself, there will be a lot of cover versions of his songs, as well as material he has written for others from the outset. Oh, and just to mix things up, there will also be some performances of his songs by Bob Dylan.

269 Ladies of Metal
A show from Hugh’s friend Nigel, and fortuitously timed to arrive when we needed a show to go with the week of International Women’s Day. In the words of the Monty Python sketch, and now for something completely different – Ladies of Metal, all-female and female-led bands playing the the metal genres.
The preshow was different, filled with bands playing songs with metals in their titles. The Postshow was from The Heaviest Metal Band, Mammoth, whose members (all male) are very large around the waist area.
A truly international show as well, with examples from all over the world, the US, Japan, the far East, Africa and Europe. Some of these artists have struggled against more than simple musical prejudice as well, particularly the ones from Indonesia and Madagascar, and it showed in their angry songs.
Ladies of Metal (and we don’t mean Iron Maiden)
This year’s bow to International Women’s Day offers a look at the often wrongfully overlooked and sometimes belittled work of women in Heavy Metal.

143R Georgie Fame
The British R&B and jazz musician gets the Radio Free D’ni treatment, with two hours of tracks from his fifty-year career. The big hits from the Sixties, some jazzy numbers and some bluesier ones kept our audience interested. Over 20 listeners at one point.
The Blue Flames
Well, actually, the show will be about the band’s founder and leader, Clive Powell, but the Blue Flames will crop up on a few tracks. Though we will be looking at Powell’s whole career, not just the few years with the band he founded. Come for Jazz pianist Clive Powell, and stay on for fusion keyboardist Georgie Fame.
Oh, wait, same person. Never mind…

268 Zawinul!
An examination of the work of Joe Zawinul outside of Weather Report, for the most part, with tracks from his earliest recordings and his last ones. Well attended with an appreciative audience including some new faces.
142R Peter Hammill
One of Hugh’s shows this one, as he’s the one with the big stash of stuff. A quirky performer, Mr Hammill, but one who nevertheless appealed to our audience, up to 22 at one point. Good numbers for us on a cold February night.
Peter Hammill
This week’s offering is a romp through the work of singer/songwriter and multiinstrumentalist Peter Hammill, a founding member of Van der Graaf Generator with a long and still ongoing solo recording career.

267 A Winter Warmer
Tracks with warmth as a common factor, and mostly quiet ones too, although we did get a bit rowdy towards the end. Very effective – we almost sent our audience to sleep – although they say they were just listening quietly. A successful show.
