255 Review of the Decade
Our tenth anniversary as a broadcasting team, Edison’s usual review of the year was extended to take in all of our previous shows. And a great selection of tracks was the result, appreciated by up to 24 listener connections and a good crowd in the cavern.
126R Rarities and What-ifs 9
A substantially remastered show that originally ran long and we managed to make into one that ran short. Oh well. Lots of listeners, very gratifying. I even sang… and nobody complained.
The postshow was extended to compensate for the short main show.
254 All At Sea
Sea-related tracks assembled by Hugh from his impressive collection, including movie soundtrack items, Classica, folk and all varieties of rock. Over 20 listener connections – a good number for us recently 🙂 Thanks folks, and join us again.
125R Be-Bop Deluxe
A trip through the recording career of Bill Nelson’s Be-Bop Deluxe, a Yorkshire band from the Seventies, but with music that has lasted very well. Malaclyps was away from home so I was reduced to flying solo – something I quite like now and again.
253 Mike Stern
A great show featuring jazz fusion guitrist Mike Stern, assembled by Hugh drew a decent crowd despite coinciding with Mysteriium and the UEFA cup final in which England were playing. To the rest of you, you missed a great show, guys 🙂
124R Miles Davis: The Warner Brothers Years.
A good show put together by Hugh for us – he’s got more Miles, you see. Up to 16 listener connections, a good number for a holiday weekend, we think.
252 Transports of Delight part 1: Trains
An idea that was sparked by the Dionne Warwick Gamble and Huff track Trains and Boats and Planes, and got its series title from the classic Flanders and Swann song about London buses. Both were in the preshow.
The Blues often makes references to trains, as a means of escape, as a route to a loved one, or taking a loved one away. we had lots of blues, in many and various forms, along with some other stuff.
123R Summer Dance Set
Holiday time for many and a hot day too for most, and we had a dance set, some fast and some slow, which was well appreciated.
251 Santana part 3: The Road to Supernatural
Hugh’s examination of the recording career of the band Santana took us through a lesser-known part of his hisotory, with quite a few changes in style, culminating in the hugely successful album Supernatural.
122R John Wetton part 2
The second part of the history of John Wetton got off to a slow start with some long tracks and a lower than usual audience, but did pick up more and more listeners as we went along. Root Beer’s voice was suffering and we helped her out with announcements later in the show.
Lots of good prog, and later pop rock stuff to finish off the set of shows about the four members of the band UK.
