Radio Variety Show in 2014

Its strange what can happen in one day

Filming

Local film maker Simon Bastock, who i got to know as i used to garden for and his wife, came round on New Years Day, to talk about working together on music.
I had no idea what he had done or what he could do. From the meeting,  he has filmed a documentry for British Gas and about to film a multi camera Indian Wedding ion a few months
His three avenues are Corporate, weddings and music


He was very impressed with the footage i took in 2013, after a mentioned it some time ago. Even more suprised how stable videos were and thought i had taken the music from a mixing deck
We are teaming up on various projects. Guests who come down for radio shows, and going to gigs. He is going to Birmingham in March when we see 4 electro bands strutting their stuff

Broadcasts
After all the trouble with laptop and driver issues, my broadcasts are now back to normal.  The main issue was my Toshiba laptop not accepting the stereo driver not windows 8. I went out and got another Acer with Windows 7. Everything now works like it did before. The players also now work on the software i use, and the songs i play live, appear on the "Now PLaying box" on Music World Radio website

The Projectiles

Continuing from 2013, the cover band i joined, in November. We perform near direct or our renditions of  some 60s and mainly rock classics.  We start gigging in February and we also practing locally.

Monthly gigs
Starting in month ( January) we team up with The Strummer Room Project. Chris Oakes hosting band nights at the Castle House, in Banbury, at the end of each month. Has asked me if i want to broadcast. We are doing the one as an experiment to see if works and hopefull interview bands. Its all about timing.
The first event is Friday, January 24th, with Acoustic acts, Simon Dwight, Eagles and weeks and two more great acts

Website
Continuing from 2013, i created a free website for Radio Variety Show. I got responses very quickly through it and this year, hoping to build on it.

More to come no doubt

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 ...
