On Tuesday 8 December, it will be the 40th anniversary of John Lennon's assassination. Mushroom Fm will be devoting 24 hours of programming to commemorate one of the most important losses in music of the 20th century. And when we're talking John Lennon, we're talking about much more than an extraordinarily gifted singer/songwriter. Thought leader, political activist, trend setter, peace maker, poet, visual artist.
This week on Deep Dive we hear from Ausie rock band Skyhooks. We learn about living in the 70s, bemoan the fact that all my friends are getting married, and discover that ego is not a dirty word.
Tune in at 4 PM Eastern Monday, which is 8 AM Tuesday in Eastern Australia. Or at 6 AM Eastern Wednesday, which is 10 PM in Eastern Australia.
Yes, it is the last month of the year yet again, and it's almost time for another episode of Come by the Hills, the Folk and Celtic music show on Mushroom FM. We've got some holiday tunes including a couple of requests, and then of course there's whatever I feel like playing.
So join me live tonight at 8:00 PM Eastern, or catch the replay of the show on Friday at 4:00 AM Eastern, 9:00 AM in the UK and Ireland!
You've been asking about it, and we're delighted to confirm that it's back. At a time when we sure could use a bit of fun and stability in our lives, we're inviting you once again to compile our holiday chart. When you vote, you get an invitation to our famous virtual Christmas party too.

Kia ora Mosen at Largers. I am moving forward with this week’s show in the hope that I will be able to present it, but at the moment, I have almost no voice. What’s that I hear? Cheering? Oh how rude! Rude I say! I hope to be well enough for the weekend but if not I will post via these channels and we’ll do a replay. But it does mean that if you have the means to send an audio contribution rather than written email, you’ll really be helping me out. Still, I’ll gladly take them in whatever form they come.
