Apologies for the poorer sound quality than usual, this was because of the live setting.

Welcome to a very special edition of Rathole Radio. This time I performed and recorded the show live in the heart of Liverpool, at the old Rapid Hardware paint shop on Renshaw St to be precise. It’s not called the Nerve Centre and it was the location for our How Why DIY event.

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. We had a great mixture of music and a live song featuring an outing for my Bob Dylan style harmonica neck brace. Try saying that when you’ve had a few drinks. I hope you enjoy the show.

  • 37: 34 – Live Track – The Unknown – “Jimmy Carter”. The first original tune by my band. I wrote this a few weeks ago. Got 2 or 3 more songs we’re gonna record and share with everyone soon.
  • 46:27 – Audio feedback from George AKA Snd_Chaser. Check out his own music show called Cerebral Mix.
  • Many thanks to Mikko Nurminen in Finland for his kind donation since the last show. If you want to help support the show and keep the show going you can donate through Paypal. No Paypal account needed just a credit or debit card.
  • Thanks to Jonas, Douglas and George for your emails.

Another Rathole Radio is upon us. I have to confess I didn’t broadcast this show live as I was out watching England V Germany in the World Cup. We were so comprehensively beaten in that game I’m glad I pre-recorded this. I wasn’t in much of a mood to do it after. Still, it’s a great show I think and I hope you all enjoy it. Don’t forget to leave comments and get in touch. Normal service will be resumed next time I promise.

  • 39:25 – LIVE SONG – The Oystercatcher’s Escape, one of my old blues/jazz tunes. You can download a full version of this track with all the other instruments and orchestration from my website. I hope you enjoy it.

It’s Rathole Radio time again, and despite being delayed by World Cup distractions it turned out to be a great show. I played my usual eclectic mix of music, chatted with all the good folks in the IRC channel, and also played a rendition of one of my favourite tunes. I hope you enjoy the episode.

Live Track: 41:30 – My rendition of “And It Stoned Me” by Van Morrison. It won the song vote by a long way.

I mentioned that I’ll be attending the next Liverpool Acoustic Live gig on Friday June 25th. It should be a good night and I encourage you to join us if you’re in travelling distance of Liverpool. I’m not playing just watching but please come and say hello.

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.

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.
