The year that was 2014

Many people put down their favourite music and lists. I would have gone into that direction, but to be honest, there are too many. Its not the matter of saying, that bands is better than another, because, thats not the way i see it or it works either.

Instead, i reflect on the year and the big changes that took place. As i have mentioned in previous blogs, i moved, finally, for the first time in my 40 years. I have a paid job, which helped me do this. Radio broadcasting does not bring in the rent, nor did gardening and cleaning, well not enough. this year was about moving to a flat, well twice, enojing that and going to a couple of gig, which i enjoyed. The radio side, had a few breaks with moving, still doing shows, thoughout the year. I went to local and national gigs, recorded them on camera, which is always fun. Met people off, Facebook, which is always a good thing, face to face.

When i went to gigs, there is nothing like a live drummer. Seeing bands live, i love doing, although that is about to slow down, a lot  The year went fairly quickly. Moving to another flat in November, due to paying less and slightly better area of town

Not many major changes, aside from moving. The radio shows i have not changed dramatically, although my streaming has improved

I have been with the band, The Projectiles. We play renditions of classic song. We are going out to gigs in the new year

About it really, more changes in 2015. in another blog

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 ...
