Radio Free D'ni

An equinoctal celebration, with sunny tracks from our stashes, woven together really quite well.  Gratifyingly well attended too, with a lively crowd in the cavern and many listeners on the stream too. This was a sequel to the Sun Arise show we did a few years ago, with no carryovers, and it went together well,…

A remastered show updated with tracks from albums released since the first broadcast.  True to form, the new stuff is different from what’s gone before, from this veritable chameleon of musical talent.  Lots of fun had in the cavern as well.

A show full of high-energy Blues performances from a master of the craft, this one was another of Hugh’s making, and very popular too, with a good attendance in the Cavern and outside.   Some great music was heard and appreciated.   A Johnny Winter in the Studio show will be fortcoming later in the year.

Subtitled “The Songs of Bob Dylan” we had a selection of cover versions and originals from a most significant source of music.  A slight technical hiccup meant we lost the stream for a few minutes, but our audience numbers show that most of you held on and reconnected once we had things back on the…

A show from Hugh’s friend Nigel, and fortuitously timed to arrive when we needed a show to go with the week of International Women’s Day.  In the words of the Monty Python sketch, and now for something completely different – Ladies of Metal, all-female and female-led bands playing the the metal genres. The preshow was…

The British R&B and jazz musician gets the Radio Free D’ni treatment, with two hours of tracks from his fifty-year career.  The big hits from the Sixties, some jazzy numbers and some bluesier ones kept our audience interested.  Over 20 listeners at one point.

An examination of the work of Joe Zawinul outside of Weather Report, for the most part, with tracks from his earliest recordings and his last ones.  Well attended with an appreciative audience including some new faces.

One of Hugh’s shows this one, as he’s the one with the big stash of stuff.  A quirky performer, Mr Hammill, but one who nevertheless appealed to our audience, up to 22 at one point.  Good numbers for us on a cold February night.

Tracks with warmth as a common factor, and mostly quiet ones too, although we did get a bit rowdy towards the end.  Very effective – we almost sent our audience to sleep – although they say they were just listening quietly.  A successful show.

Another set of tracks related only by their titles, and a good collection too.  Well attended, with up to 28 listener connections.  I was still suffering from the after-effects of pneumonia and had no voice, or energy, so wasn’t there.  I hope this wasn’t a harbinger
