We had a lot of fun last Thursday doing a wee interview and a loose set of "original material" (ahem) on Radio Active last week. Thanks to Pete & Andy who host the Session for inviting us to play. Pete was on interviewing duties...

So, have a listen to the interview and the music that followed. I always talk a lot at these occasions. You can either download the full file (25.5MB) or listen using this thing:

We've turned up on a net comp on the blocsonic label. The comp is called 'The Raw and the Cooked', and features our track 'Bracken Bed', the one that was a dubby/foolish update of the Country Calendar Theme*.

Big thanks to blocsonic for asking for inclusion on their comp!

* With all due credit to Dark Tower to beating us to it by, um, 12 years. 

It has come to our attention that some people would like to attend but Wednesday is not a good night, for reasons of choir and/or cricket practice and/or small children, so we've uploaded an excerpt from our most recent event. It's a half-hour 128kbs mp3 largely showcasing our DJ 'prowess', but with a couple of our own tunes tossed in. The file has been edited to get as much stuff in as possible, but no enhancements were made. All natural, all artificial.

In 2007 Radio Active turned 30 and to celebrate they ran a 30 hour marathon on Friday 7 December - Saturday 8 December. The marathon had the concept that each hour represented a year in Radio Active's history.

We were lucky enough to score a spot on Andy and Pete's show and we broadcast live from the Newtown Working Mens' bowling club, where the party was being held.

Here's the ad for the December 5 gig. I've never recorded a radio ad before, so please forgive me. I've come away with a much greater appreciation for radio announcers. Enunciating slowly and clearly without sounding like a dick isn't easy. Unless you're Mr Smoothness himself, Dick Weir...
