In 1999 I with others set up pirate radio station called DRK RADIO.
It was great fun and lasted for about one year.
There was some great djs playing blues to rock pop and a bit of everything.
The djs names were in code so the powers that be did not know who we were.
There was the silver fox
The hairy man
Dj hacker
Billy the kid
Togge
Chris Carroll
And many more.
What I would like to do now is start it again on this board.
You be the dj and find the music video you want to play on YouTube and post a link on here.
You can also post a video of you talking about the song you picked if you like.
And the next posted do the same.
I will get the ball rolling

This was the very first song played at live aid.
Not a great song, but we have to start with something.
Can you do better, please join in.
They didn’t show a photo of the whole motorcycle!
The Corrs, another Irish family that probably learned their music in the kitchen.
Great music for a donnybrook. All I need is my blackthorn hanging by the front door.
The certainly have altered those Gregorian Chants. I still like the original.
Ewa Farna, she’s cute but I just don’t see anything special. Maybe it’s the language that is throwing me off.
Lindsey Stirling, she does have potential! Reminds me of a female version of Ashley MacIsaac.
He’s been around a long time and gone through his own devils that hurt his career, then he ‘came out’ and he got a lot of criticism ………but I think he is making a comeback.

A little addition with several fiddlers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tX4QJ57QXKo
I like fiddle playing but I can only take so much of it. Violin….different matter…. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQmxw_rwSDw ….or ….. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PYOhvXyccA&feature=related
British magazine NME (New Music Express) which started in 1952 has named John Lennon rock music’s biggest star ever.
I agree.
In memory…………..
You must have used a backhoe and a stick of dynamite to find this thread. But that's a good thing.
Mumford and Sons….hadn’t heard of them. Looked them up…..their British! Good group.
You’re ‘mellow’ day was a good day. Maybe I’m just getting older but the music today………just doesn’t have it…..not like the list you provided.
A few weeks ago a kid said to me “you have to listen to this protest song”. I did…..about 3 times. I couldn’t understand the frikken words!!!! It was like listening to an 8 vehicle freeway crash and one person was singing in a trunk! I mean if you’re going to have a protest song….can we hear the words! Or maybe they were protesting against silence.
And ‘rap’…..can’t handle it….ain’t happening.
