  • 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…

  • 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.

  • 177R LA Sunshine, Psychedelia and Harmony Pop

    A straightforward feelgood show, digging into the past, with a certain aroma of flowers and incense, and lots of three-minute or less tracks 🙂

    (more…)

  • Sunshine, Pop, and the Unknown

    You know Sunshine Pop. You know the bits that crossed over into psychedelia. Well, some of them, anyway. And you probably have heard all the big hits somewhere and somewhen on the radio.

    This weekend, we’ll play the bits you (most likely) didn’t hear.

  • 301 Miles Davis Centenary

    A show to mark the centenary of the birth of groundbreaking jazz trumpeter and bandleader Miles Davis, with tracks from the extensive Complete Recordings box sets issued by Columbia Records

    (more…)

  • 160 km

    Or, for the unmetric, 100 miles. Or Miles at 100. In other words, we will be celebrating the work of Miles Davis in the week of what would have been his 100th birthday!

  • 176R Play That Funky Music

    A show that did what it said on the tin – played that funky music from a wide variety of bands, some of them unexpected 🙂

    (more…)

  • Give Up the Funk!

    Well, you don’t really have to. This week’s offering takes a look at, well, Funk. The thing that came out of the comingling of Psychedelic, Prog and Soul at the end of the 60s and pretty much dominated the 70s, during which decade it got usurped by Disco.

    We are, however, not looking at the origins and beginnings of Funk, but rather at its consequences outside what one would call “the usual suspects,” with a roster of artists one would not, normally, associate with the style.

  • 300 A History of Electronic Music. Part 1

    22 listeners max, and we appreciate your interest.

  • Electronic Sounds

    Before there even was a transistor, there already were electronic musical (and some less-than-musical) instruments, and attempts to otherwise make music or something similar using electronic processing. Looking back from the post-DX7 era, the early history of electronic instruments is quite fascinating and starts a few decades earlier than most would likely expect.

    So, this week, for our 300th new show, we are going to have a look at the beginnings of electronic music.
