Our look at offshore radio moves into the 1970s this weekend, with the story of Radio North Sea International.
With powerful transmitters broadcasting on AM, FM and shortwave, Radio North Sea International was equipped for success. But European governments were making offshore broadcasting increasingly difficult. The station faced government jamming, an attempted hijacking and a bombing.
The "Juke In The Back" focuses on the " soul that came before rock n' roll," the records that inspired Elvis, Buddy Holly, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and countless others.
This week on Deep Dive we feature the talents of Australian - or New Zealand 80s band Crowded House. We experience four seasons in one day, fall at our feet, and say it's only natural.
Tune in at 4 PM Eastern Monday, which is 7 AM Tuesday in Eastern Australia. Or at 6 AM Eastern Wednesday, which is 9 PM in Eastern Australia. Just chat nicely to that SmartSpeaker of yours, telling it to play Mushroom FM, and you will be there in a trice.
Deep Dive, where we focus on one artist for one hour. And you can only hear it on Mushroom FM, home of the fun guys.
Hello! Sara Hillis popping up again to let you know about this week's episode of Come by the Hills, Mushroom FM's Folk and Celtic music show! It promises to be fun as always. We'll have a couple of songs about carnivals and fairs, some songs about trees, a bit of John Barleycorn, and even a bit of Leonard Cohen! So stop by and see what we're about! I promise you'll find something worth the listening!
After you've enjoyed Come By The Hills with Sara Hillis, tomorrow afternoon from 02:00 PM to 05:00 PM, don't touch that dial, device, PC, Mac, smart speaker or tablet and join me for The Early Years, where and when you'll hear the best music from the first half of the Rock and Roll era with nods to other decades and genres.
I will finish the count down of the top 100 of 1963 as tabulated by Billboard Magazine. Last week, I got from #42 to #17. This week, I'll pick it up at #16 and continue to #1. What will it be? You'll have tu listen to find out.
The "Juke In The Back" focuses on the " soul that came before rock n' roll," the records that inspired Elvis, Buddy Holly, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and countless others.
This week, the "Juke In The Back" looks at how one of R&B's greatest voices, LaVern Baker, got her start. It's part two of a two part feature on the early career of LaVern Baker.
This week we enjoy the sweet lyrics and guitar of American singer and songwriter James Taylor. We meet the handyman, shower the people with love, and go up on the roof.
Tune in at 4 PM Eastern Monday, which is 7 AM Tuesday in most of Eastern Australia. Or at 6 AM Eastern Wednesday is 9 PM in Eastern Australia. Just holler out to that SmartSpeaker of yours to play Mushroom FM, and you will be there momentarily.
Deep Dive focuses on one artist for one hour. And it is heard exclusively on Mushroom FM, the home of the fun guys. Join me there.
Greetings and salutations! Sara Hillis here to let you know what's happening this week on Come by the Hills, the Folk and Celtic music show on Mushroom FM! I'm pleased to tell you that the show will be coming to you live once again from the 7th floor for three whole hours of great Folk music and hopefully witty banter. We'll have some songs about the sun and the moon in honour of the solar eclipse that is taking place today, as well as another selection from the recently-released live album Joni Mitchell At Newport (Live). We'll have some songs with names in them, and a whole lot more.
After you've enjoyed Come By The Hills with Sara Hillis, tomorrow afternoon from 02:00 PM to 05:00 PM, don't touch that dial, device, PC, Mac, smart speaker or tablet and join me for The Early Years, now in its 8th year, where and when you'll hear the best music from the first half of the Rock and Roll era with nods to other decades and genres.
