My Facebook old and groups

Like many musicians or radio presenters trying to do their bit to promote and radio play music, I have Facebook accounts.  I have got an account with two artists' pages, one for me and one of my online, Music Revolution Promotion.   The only problem with having an artists page I discovered is that, they are useless for sending out events.  This is mainly my radio show I event and when I have tried this, on my artist page, no one gets them...so what is the point in having that an artist page??? who knows.  Liking the page is ok, but you want to build up numbers so people can request....so with this in mind, I went back in time

Old to new Facebook account
I have another account. Thinking about it, I opened it after my current one, I thought it was before I have gone back to it before and changed it when I had my market stall, but this time I am staying online.  The other reason for changing is, that I did not know how to close it.  I call it recycling Facebook pages :)  What I have been doing over the last few weeks, is changing my Facebook pages around. I have changed my Demand Records Offical Page to DJreadmanradioandmusic. The only downside with this page is that I can't change the main web address of the page. which is www.facebook.com/DemandRecordsOfficalPage. ( I know where are two i's in official) Other that that, it's completely changed.

https://www.facebook.com/Demandrecordsofficalpage

Old to new Facebook Group
I also found both the old groups I opened, this was ages ago. I decided, instead of having an artists page for Music Revolution Promotion, I went back to the group and changed it

The other decision I took was to utilise the Photo albums.  I have never done this before and I thought why not.  I one of the only areas of Facebook that is visible when you go on any page.  I have opened albums for my Radio shows, submissions, competitions, live radio quotes, Open Show Album Promotion and so on
I would have put up videos but Facebook does not make it easy to have them visible. You can also request this page and from the show, after November 5th it wil be the page I create Facebook events for plugging the radio show on that day

I completely forgot i had this group and its attached the actual account. I have had this for a long time and thought to change the name to Music Revolution promotion and the Facebook group version of the website
You have photos of special guests, competitions, music reviews and articles in the files section about the radio shows and more
https://www.facebook.com/groups/105781712817560/

I have my website still, which is on the Google website. I don't know when this expires as you only have a free account for so long.  I have a zero budget for this so when it runs out, all content will open up in another site, or I will relaunch in Wordpad

The History of Record Shops

Image
Since I have been helping to promote local record shops Strummer Room Records and new Mac’s Music Store here in Banbury  (One way of being involved), It occurred to me that not much attention historically is being paid towards record shops.  As a former owner of record shop Demand  Records ( still dabble with online vinyl album sales)(I miss it like crazy), I thought I would focus on this.  I realised recently that my shop is a part of. Over the decades there have been independent and chain stores. Depends where you live. The starting point is Banbury, who knows where this may lead?  I have decided to make this journey broader.  I thought to myself I am bound to get asked at some point. At the moment this is a few blogs and the start of an ongoing series on Youtube. This may lead to a documentary at some point. But not getting too far ahead of myself.                                                      Picture of Strummer Room Recorfs Strummer Room Records ( 4 years walk in and online

Finally, i can now play vinyl records again on radio

Before the headlines, an update.... Co Presenter The radio variety show has always been able to evolve or move in various directions. Reason for the difficult task of finding a good name for the show In April 2015, i found a co presenters, Educational publisher and graphic designer, Darren Coles. We began messing about on radio, and wanted to come up with a duo name. For some reason, animals come into conversation and we ended up with, Dog and Crow. I am Dog and Darren is Crow. Partly the reason, for this is because, Darren, can do a wicked, Crow sound and i can do a Dog one Show HQ has moved again A place i have been waiting for over a year finally landed. My father knew of a couple who were to rent a house. I was in the position to move in, but heard nothing for long time. Then the chess pieces fell into place, hired a van to move the gear and we landed into new HQ, beginnig of November 2015 Improvements Darren has a technical mind. He has gear, has been in bands and can se
