Donating to the cause

Over time i have never liked asking for anything in regard to this subject. I am not a charity, but on occasion when i push myself I mention or suggest
Playing music is fun on net radio, but not everyone can do it, i just found i have the voice for it, which is cool and my approach to interviews, which many like..  With this of course, comes wit some promotion you do for artists. I also like promoting as much as i can with a zero budget as i have no money coming in for my hobbie as it were

Today( Sunday) I had a bit of shock, when someone actually donated to the cause.  I do mentioned sometimes, if anyone wants to and they are free to donation whatever they want

I love what i do, the only downside with promoting is that it takes man hours.  Being on the net and playing music is fun, but you have to do a certain amount of promotion and time into it

When i began net radio, Facebook did not exist but Myspace did. I promoted when i could, but it was a different broadcasting approach.  That was Dj work on two record decks and i did get some digital music to mix with.  After 4 years from 2008 - present,, things seem a bit more solid with the name i use and regular listeners. My show now called, The Radio Variety Show, you are dealing with a lot more sounds and really a lot more work

I am not the only one play music on net stations, although i have been on the station broadcasting, with the odd break, for 4 years

I have got the musical freedom to broadcast the music and there is always a theme, an artists feature and interview. performace. that i recieve through submissions and i like to think i am doing a good job with the resources and time i have.

It is a dream as they say, although i don't know how far reality is with radio broadcasting for a wage? For the moment i broadcast and promote for nothing.
I have been offered to admin groups and become a band manager, but paid work takes presidents over anything else when music is not bringing in the living expenses.  You can only do so much and with " I want to move into a flat" banging in the head, there is only so much time you can give

Support what you have, as one day, it might now be there
I have been asked about going on other radio stations over time. Well, if you want me, your going to have to pay me, its as simple as that :)

Thankyou for reading

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...

Monthly Compilation for charity

I have been toying with the idea of selling a form of the monthly compilation. So far, there have been two compilations, March and April and already have some submission for May. Then next step is to arrange a compilation for sale, probably a 10 track version of the compilation. Due to the nature of the non profit on Music World Radio, we are unable to sell compilations, unless people donate. Therefore the compilation finances are going to charity. Now this is a big field but the one subject that is always high  on the list is Cancer. This is my first choice for person reasons, mainly relations and friends. Someone pointed out that people out on the field as in volunteers is also worthly of attention So, research charity and on the field charity on the two fields that have to mesh Why? The station has listeners from many parts of the world, not just Europe.  There are charities in the U.K who do cater for other countries, its just narrowing it down it has to be a ...
