156 – Singing Together – multi-part vocal harmony in rock and pop

Published September 27, 2020 | By Alan DJ

A gratifyingly popular show, with more than 20 in the audience for a good part of the show. Hint taken, we will work on onother one.

I enjoyed putting this one together, as there are moments in my favourite songs when the harmony comes together with overwhelming effect.  It was nice to be able to share it.

022R Prog Folk Remastered

Published September 20, 2020 | By Alan DJ

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

Published September 6, 2020 | By Alan DJ

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.
