  • Welcome to Radio Free D’ni!

    Welcome to the homepage of Radio Free D’ni. You will find here both our current announcements and our past playlists. Our links to the music stream are at the top, just above this post. And there’s a stream player right here when the stream is on.

    Generally speaking, we present a new show every other week, at 1300 KI time, with remastered versions of our shows from five years ago in the intermediate weeks. We have pre-show music usually starting 30 minutes earlier (so getting on the stream at 12:30 KI time might be a good idea), and also a good bit of music after the show proper.

    See you in the Cavern

    13:00 KI is 8 pm in the UK, 9 pm in CET. KI time is Mountain Time in the US, and it follows DST… I can only assume that when Victor Laxman got the KI’s working again he synch’d them to surface time in New Mexico…

  • 304 Easy Listening 2

    A second dose of easy listening tracks, with stuff from piano bars in Paris, Italian cinema music and British ensembles like Sounds Orchestral.  A goodly number of listeners too, up to 24 at best.

  • It Ain’t Easy

    Actually, yes it is. Easy Listening, that is, back for a second show this week.

  • 180R Jackson Browne

    A nice relaxed set of rock on the various folk- country- and pop-rock styles.    Up to 14 listeners, but we were competing with the World Cup and the 4th of July.

  • We’re Going to Jackson

    No, not that one. We’re talking about Jackson Browne. While he has not been much of a chart presence by himself, as a songwriter, he has helped populate the Billboart top 20 since the early 1970s and continues to do so to this day. Though we’re more concerned with the man himself in this show, and some of his more personal work.

  • 303 Secrets and Lies

    A compilation show of tracks with allusions to Secrets or Lies in them.  Covering a wide variety of styles and genres, it had something for everyone.  Up to 19 listener connections agreed with us 🙂

  • Want to Know a Secret? That’s a Lie!

    This week, we will have a collection of songs about, well, secrets and lies. That’s it. That’s the whole theme. But don’t tell anyone…

    See you in the Cavern,

  • 179R The Wood and The Wire – guitar instrumentals.

    A choice set of guitar instrumentals across a wide variety of genres – intended to both give everyone something they like and also introduce you to new things that you might want to follow up.   And to do that you need the playlist, so here it is.

  • Dead Trees And Extruded Metal

    This week’s show is all about what happens when you take a piece of wood, attach another piece of wood, and connect one end with the other with a few wires.

    Yes, you’ve got it pegged. It’s about guitars! No words needed. This is guitar instrumentals.

    See you in the Cavern,

  • 302 Jerry Donahue

    Featuring the remarkable talents of guitarist Jerry Donahue, well known for his prowess at string bending and his speed of execution, and also for his ability in general to fit in as a sideman with may bands and singers.  All the tracks featured Jerry on guitar apart from the Jerry Reed original version of The Claw.

    I remember watching the Joan Armatrading concert back in the day, and being impressed.  Rewatching it recently, I made the Jerry Donahue connection and from there the show came together.

    Oh, I promised to post the link to the Jerry Donahue clip on YouTube that shows him playing The Claw with close-ups of the fretboard.  It’s here

    The full documentary, one of the British Channel 4 series Equinox, broadcast in 1987 and called Twang Bang Kerang,is also on YouTube right now, and can be found below.

  • Hello Jerry!

    That’s Jerry Donahue. You may not have heard of him, but you almost certainly have heard him, being as he is a prolific session guitarist, aside from his gigs as a Hellecaster or with Fairport Convention.

    See you in the Cavern,
