After missing the last live show in a fit of football-related depression I was back on form and back in front of the mic. This Rathole Radio was broadcast just after the World Cup final in which Spain won and Holland lost. I couldn’t blame our Dutch friends for not showing up afterwards.

It’s time for another Rathole Radio. This time I played my usual mix of eclectic styles and people said it was a “more relaxed” show, until I got to the thrash metal at the end of the show that is muwhahaha. I also played a live version of one of my favourite blues song, complete with Bee Gees falsetto vocals in parts, listen out for that. I hope you enjoy the show.

I saw the Sugar Hill Gang in Liverpool this week, they were incredible. They are mean musicians as well which I never knew. Respect! Also saw a really good local ska/rap ensemble called The Elementals. Will try to track them down and get them on the show in future.

Rathole Radio is 1 year old! The first show was posted on May 31st 2009. We’ve come along way, at least I don’t say “oh… that song ended abruptly” after every tune now, only some

  • 46:58 – LIVE TRACK – My version of a blues tune called “Lonely Stranger” by Robert Cray and Eric Clapton. I hope you enjoy it.

Get In Touch: Please send me your thoughts and feedback on the music I play or any other aspect of the show. If you make music or you know people who make music and you think they should be on the show, send me suggestions and demos by all means.

The first regular Rathole Radio in a month with the gig and everything else going on. It was good to be back in the saddle. I played an eclectic mix of music as always, chatted with people listening live and probably said “erm” too much. Normal service was resumed. I also played an exclusive live song I wrote years ago but which hasn’t really been heard in public before. Hope you enjoy it! Don’t forget to leave comments on the website, send emails and get involved.

I’m joining AMP!! Still lots of setting up to do on my part but it’s very cool to be in a community with other – http://musicpodcasting.org/

The show now being mirrored on DefNetMedia, thanks to Neil.

  • 46:08 – Live Track – One of my own songs. A pretty old one now but hopefully still good, it’s called “My Friend”. Don’t have a link for it I’m afraid as this is the only recording. I will try to make one and update you.
  • Emails – Ciarán emailed to suggest making a Rathole Radio compilation CD, I just wanted to remind everyone there already is a CD I made for Software Freedom Day last year. You can download it from this very site.

Get In Touch: Please send me your thoughts and feedback on the music I play or any other aspect of the show. If you make music or you know people who make music and you think they should be on the show, send me suggestions and demos by all means.

A very very special Rathole Radio this time as I present some of the action from the live gig in Liverpool on Friday April 30th. It was a great night and I’m really pleased so many people came along and joined us. We had great live music from the Reflect Harmony Group to open the event. Sadly I don’t have a recording of their set and I can only apologise for that. I will try to get them to do a session in future to make up for it. So next it was onto Attila The Stockbroker and David Rovics.

Next up I took the stage with my unnamed band. We asked the audience to suggest possible band names as we went along, we had varying success to that. Some of the names were very funny though. As this set consisted mainly of cover songs I don’t think I can put it under a CC license. It’s possibly illegal for me to share this with you but sod it, you only live once right I hope you enjoy the set.

  • 20:08 – Jumping Jack Flash (Originally by the Rolling Stones)
  • 24:17 – Ziggy Stardust (Originally by David Bowie)
  • 27:34 – Psycho Killer (Originally by Talking Heads)
  • 32:14 – Down Under (Originally by Men At Work)
  • 36:00 – The Elephant In The Room written by (me) Dan Lynch CC-BY-SA Licensed
  • 40:10 – Waiting For The Great Leap Forward (Originally by Billy Bragg)
  • 45:05 – Redemption Song (Originally by Bob Marley)
  • 49:20 – State Of Love & Trust (Originally by Pearl Jam)

A BIG thank you to everyone who came to the gig and supported the event. As requested by some people on email I’ve added a Paypal donation link to the sidebar of the site, so if you want to help me cover costs you can do but there’s no obligation. A special thank you to Adrian, Andy, Jon, Anna and my mum for helping out on the night. I couldn’t have done it without them. I’ll be back with a more normal show very soon. Take care of yourselves.
