Vocal Harmony
This Sunday, we will present the world of vocal harmony in Rock and Pop music, featuring a wide range of styles from 50s Doo-Wop through British Invasion and Psychedelic all the way to Indie Rock of the 80s and 90s.

022R Prog Folk Remastered
Here was a show that I was most dissatisfied with when originally broadcast, and which had the most negative feedback. That stuck with me, and I was determined to make it better. Only you, the audience, can tell us that, of course.
Most of the content is new, and the notes were completely reworked. Circumstances led to the show not being edited down, and all three sections were longer than usual – but nobody complained. Malaclypse had some problems with his brand-new audio hardware, but the show was not off the air for more than a few seconds, and the thrashing about behind the scenes was not apparant. We hope. After a slow start, with nobody in the cavern, the audience built up to 17. Are you all in the Fan Age tours when we begin?

020R Rock Humour Remastered
The 2016 Rock Humour show needed a bit of rejigging to avoid repeating tracks used the previous week, and the notes were completely revamped. Attendance was light, but there were a good number in the cavern and a fair amount of danceing got done. And everybody was amused, for at least some of the time.
The preshow was mostly 10cc or Godley & Creme, after they had left 10cc. The postshow was nearly all Bonzo Dog Band… Both reliably amusing, and unlikely to be repeated any time soon.

019R Celebrations Remastered
The Remastered Celebrations show coincided fortuitously with the opening of the first new ages in Uru Live for 13 years, giving us a very good reason to celebrate. The remastering was minimal in terms of the content, changing just one track in the main show and adding more to the pre and postshow sets. The audience figures were very pleasing, up to 35 at one point, and an indication that some of the old hands and new arrivals brought in by the event came along to join us too.
