177 We Love The Flower Girl: L.A. Sunshine, Psychedelia and Harmony Pop
A welcome diversion to a less complicated time, the late Sixties on the West Coast of the US and the pop scene there. A show full of three-minute singles from some lesser-known bands from that era.
Very well attended too, with a peak of 25 listeners and 24 for most of the show. Hope to see you all again.

176 Play That Funky Music
The Radio Free D’ni schedule covers every Sunday these days, and I forgot to check on the dates for Mysterium, so we coincided. It was a very pleasant surprise to find sixteen people in the cavern when I got there, and a total audience of 28 overall during the show – one of our best attended for a while. The subject of the show seems to have been a big hit as well 🙂

175 … to look for America
Our first show specially assembled for the Fourth of July, and it was very successful, despite the celebration drawing away some of our audience. There were still over 25 listeners, a very good number for a public holiday.
Our show was assembled by Hugh, our most English, nay, Liverpudlian member of the team. He’ll be back,
