Radio Free D'ni

The 75th show made use of the wedding-anniversary convention and had a theme of diamonds – which had to be augmented by ice (the slang term for diamonds, we are lead to believe).  A very wide-ranging selection was the result of combing all our stash for suitable candidates.  In the end we had enough to…

An excellent third anniversary show, put together by Edison Rex, drew over 30 listeners at one point, which is close to the best we’ve ever had.  All the tracks are selected from shows we’ve broadcast over the past year, and I have listed the shows against the tracks below. Preshow Track Artists Album Year RFD…

Preshow was a selection from the G section of the stash, plus Hayseed Dixie to set the scene for the show. Postshow was stuff that didn’t quite make the grade for the show, plus a repeat of The Eagles’ Get Over It for AyaHawkeye who had the stream drop out for her during that track.…

We were without Edison for this show, as he was having some well-earned time off.  The show was presented by me, AlanDJ, and I nearly always remembered to shut my mic off between announcements… We got up to 20 listeners at one point, which was better than expected given that it is the first weekend…

A fine time was had with our No More Fillers Any More show on Sunday 9th July. Preshow is still from the G section, and the postshow was the Big Hits from the albums we had featured in the show. Fewer tracks in this show as more of them were longish album tracks, and grouped…

Radio Free D’ni’s 70th show played to a good audience on the plaza and on the air. We had a busy night with 24 tracks in the show, most of them being 3-minute singles, and all on the theme of girls names. We had some response to our call for requests, and more came in…

Excellent show put together by Mal.  Preshow and postshow contained more tracks from the history of this short-lived but influential group.  19 listeners at maximum, 16 for most of the time. Preshow Born On The Bayou Creedence Clearwater Revival  The Concert 1970 Radar John Fogerty  Deja Vu All Over Again 2004 Bad Bad Boy John…

Show 68 was a celebration and a fast trip through the musical career of George Martin, the ‘fifth Beatle’ A man who became the head of the Parlophone label when it was EMI’s second string and turned it around with a wide range of artists, chief of which were The Beatles. A musician too, who…

The show was mainly about instrumentals that had been made by vocal bands, with a few others that were unexpected in other ways. The preshow was all tracks that missed out on being in the main show, because they were’nt unexpected enough or because we’d played them recently.  The version of Soul Sscrifice from Woodstock…

This was an idea I’d been working on for a while, with alternative titles such as ‘Songs I can’t sing’ – because I can’t get through them without choking up.  Eventually we made it to air, but to remember (slightly too late) that May 1st is a holiday throughout Europe and most of our audience…
