Sounds good, near always have good stuff like this. I'm hoping that they will broadcast a music show I'm workin that's in pre-production at the moment.


Is this going to be looking at the history of the blues scene at all? Cos ye say we'll hear the stuff and "beyond", I'd like to hear a bit of history on the scene, tbh.


EDIT: btw, that link to the nearfm site, leads to boards.ie

It is not a history of blues as such; more a look at the history of the dublin scene and in particular the bands featured in the programmes. however the bands talk about the history of the blues in a round-about way by describing which american and british blues-smiths influenced them going way back to the 1920's. the essence of all three programmes is the live music we recorded in clontarf yacht club last april alongside some studio acoustic performances - this is peppered with interviews and voxpops.

re: link. thanks for heads up not sure how that happened

hope this works -
