Radio Free D'ni

This is the playlist for the show I ran on Saturday 4th February, the start of the celebrations.  It’s theme was a journey through the ages of MOUL through the eyes of a player, in musical form. Track Artist Album Year Age Myst Theme Robyn Miller  Myst – Soundtrack 1998 Myst Winds On The Mountain…

Our second set of Connections showing the often complex interactions in world of Rock, this time centred on Dave Edmunds. Pre- and post-show are tracks by artists we also see during the show proper. And I will post a follow-up of the track of connections we followed this time. We topped out at 25 listeners,…

Yes, 2016 was notably bad for the passing of many fine musicians who have enthralled and entertained us as we grew.  So many, in fact, that it will take several shows to mention even a few of them. In this show we concentrated on just five: Bernie Worrell (P-Funk and Talking Heads amongst many others),…

I put the Heavy Metal tracks into the preshow, only to find that my colleagues disagreed with the labelling of Danish group Pretty Maids as Heavy. Apparently they are Hair Metal, despite what their website and Wikipedia (I know…) says. I think we can compromise on Glam Metal. I never knew there were so many…

Difficult Times had 26 listeners at one point, and 20 for most of the show. Here’s the playlist, and a link to the lyrics for Rush’s Losing It, as requested (click on the track title) Preshow Unsquare Dance is possibly the second most famous Dave Brubeck track after Take Five. Klaus Doldinger’s Timesignature is the…

We had a great show with a very appreciative audience for our first Covered Up set, where we played well-known songs and their covers – in some cases the covers being more well known than the originals. Edison put the preshow together and I didn’t make a note of what was played – it was…

After missing one show slot, we returned to a great audience who stayed with us for a long show.  As it was the DST shift for Europe, we started an hour later than usual for the US listeners, but I was able to get into the cavern early and let folks know what was going…

The preshow included Santana’s Samba Pa Ti from Abraxas, Jethro Tull’s Broadsword (I always think of it as one of his Scottish Songs), Status Quo’s elderly but still hale Caroline and Supertramp and It’s A Long Road. We overran for a change, and Martin Barre’s ‘A Blues For All Reasons’ got bumped into the postshow. …

On The Road Again: In the preshow we visited my stash again for some more D’s – Dave Swarbrick, the effervescent fiddler who is most famous for his time with Fairport Convention, Dave Pegg, the tricksy bassist from both Fairport and Jethro Tull, Dave Mason, formerly of Traffic and with a long solo career and…

A good time was had by all at the Electric Folk show on Sunday, including several who attended in Second Life. We are slowly building an audience there thanks to Ainia’s hosting in TJ’s Dance hall. Perhaps this is a good point to say that although we are called Radio Free D’ni, our content is…
