Radio Free D'ni

A show put together by Hugh for us on one of his favourite musicians, Frank Zappa.  Taking us in a new direction, somewhat riskier than our usual fare, but still attended well, as our last show of 2018. Preshow Title Artist Album Year Hungry Freaks, Daddy Frank Zappa Understanding America 2012 Plastic People Frank Zappa…

The final part of the Pink Floyd history, and a great audience for the culmination of Malaclypse’s labour of love.  We had some solo work from the band members in the pre and postshow. Preshow Gigolo Aunt Syd Barrett Barrett 1970 The Bravery of Being Out of Range Roger Waters Amused to Death 1992 Picture…

A slightly smaller audience than usual, on Armistice Day, which may have been one reason for it.  We covered the two albums that The Who produced after Keith Moons death, and the recent comeback album.  But most of the show was about solo work from the three, dominated, inevitably, by Pete Townshend. A couple of…

Our first show dedicated to The Who, an iconic English band that we have not featured before – I can’t think why. We focussed on the Keith Moon years, when the founding members of the group were all together.  There is so much good music from this period of the group’s life that choosing a…

For this show, Hugh drew on his extensive knowledge and stash of Cream recordings and produced a wonderful show bringing us the best of the group and its history. The preshow consisted of a couple of post-Cream groups, Blind Faith and BBM – Bruce Baker Moore, with Gary Moore filling the guitar shoes. Preshow Title…

Part 2 of the Bruford show saw us concentrating on his later and more jazzy, not to say experimental, work.  That was seasoned with several tracks from he earlier work as a guest musician or session man on albums lead by other people.  Something for everyone. Preshow Title Artists Album Year Sleepless King Crimson Three…

On the second day of the 25th Anniversary celebrations, Radio Free D’ni broadcast for an hour, just before the NULP Dancers went on.  This time we told of our reminiscences of Myst, and played some game-related music.   Title Artists Album Year Myst linking sound Robyn Miller 2000 Myst Theme Robyn Miller Myst – Soundtrack…

To start off the weekend of Myst’s 25th Anniversary celebrations, I did a show on my own, as neither Mal nor Ed was able to host.  As I was the first one to start, I was able to fit in a long-ish preshow too 🙂 The Myst memories included the start of my involvement with…

A very satisfying show, with more than 20 listeners all the way through, and a maximum of 27. A lot of old favourites in the set list, which no doubt helped. Hugh was able to join us on the stream too. Preshow and postshow tracks were the ones that didn’t quite make the show cut,…

100 shows 😮 We never thought we’d get this far, but to be fair we don’t think too much ahead, the next few shows, perhaps regular events such as cavern anniversaries, and more recently the new year review of artists we’ve said goodbye to over the previous year.  Yet, here we are, our first century…
