Hmm Best describes as ‘alternative’ I suppose, but very difficult to button hole. Just a good place to listen to stuff I already like, while occasionally stumbling across great stuff I’ve never heard. Maybe try Radcliffe & Maconie on BBC Sounds 6 Music as an intro and see how you get on.
Smooth, although it becomes a bit samey so after a week or so I switch to Heart 80's and then back to Smooth. Life is one big groundhog day for me.
Better than 'squeal like a pig', cue banjos. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
I always thought I was pretty well -up on musical genres and vowed that I'd try to keep up with trends as I aged. I can't say I have - so many choices, sub-divisions, etc - understanding them all is almost as difficult as choosing a bloody lightbulb these days! Anyway, not knowing what particular era you prefer and with such a choice of stations it's not easy to know what to recommend. Unfortunately so many are on high rotation that you keep hearing the same songs over and over. If you want oldies try Caroline Flashback - no news on the hour to raise the blood pressure, no annoying traffic reports and minimal adverts. It's online only though (eg smart speakers) and covers 60's to 80's (apologies if you need something more up to date). If you want old and new with a more rock flavour (though not necessarily heavy or exclusively) try Radio Caroline. It's online again, on DAB in various places and on good old fashioned medium wave (648khz). This is my go-to station. Again, no news or traffic. Because I like different genres I'll tune in to quite a few stations on internet radio and will often listen to some soul/ska/Northern/reggae when I feel in the mood, especially at the weekend with a few pints/ bottle of wine. I'm sure you'll find something that appeals, though appreciate that it can take time! Good luck.
This really should be on the films thread really, but have you seen the Syl Johnson documentary? I’m guessing from what you like to listen to while you drink you’d maybe enjoy it.
Not sure where I should put this….LOVING the interview with our captain Coyle. Amazing interview, so down to earth, we are very very lucky to have this gentleman at our club
My lad is tying to get him on his podcast, has his brother Tommy as his first quest. Never heard anything but good things about the lad.
henry ayrton's progs on rh were always top top top. full of background info. really knew his stuff. i managed to grab hold of some for future delectation. would have loved the job he had. hope's he's doing well in retirement.
