    Groove On The Wireless 239 – Songs for Alan

    Yesterday I buried a friend, an inspirational man who I was lucky enough to call a friend.  Crucially he was not only a class warrior, but he was an organiser and and a proud anarchist, so his dream for a new world lives on.  Like Joe Hill he will never die, because  that vision cannot be killed, we will carry on in the struggle to make that world anew, because neither us nor the planet deserve anything less.

    CULTURE SHOCK ON TOUR!

    it’s been a while…but the renewed interest in the band following the ‘Everything’ box set prompted us to rethink the old adage that ‘it’s not going to happen’, wondering instead whether it COULD happen- ‘us’ at that point was Dick and Jasper talking in the back of the van after a Citizen Fish gig. The main thing was finding someone who could adequately fill the enormous gap left when Nige passed on- we asked Alex, who plays trumpet for CF [and played guitar and sang for Bender], as he had the ability, and the urge… Bill was only too keen to unpack his kit, and in January we had the first of several practices. And it’s working! We’ll be doing a UK tour in October in as much free time as we currently have, and trying to reach as many areas as possible. See you somewhere on the way!

  • 1913 Lockout Podcast – Episode 1 – Introduction

    1913 Lockout Podcast – Episode 1 – Introduction

    Episode 1 – Introduction

    The introductory podcast of the 1913 Unfinished Business series on the centenary of the Dublin Lock-out. The team look at Ireland and Dublin in the early twentieth century and introduce two of the key protagonists of the battle, the ITGWU’s Jim Larkin and the employers’ leaders William Martin Murphy. Historian Dr. Conor Kostick speaks about the genesis of the Lock-out, its politics and how it developed. We finish by asking what relevance the 1913 Lock-out has in our society one hundred years on.

    Featuring: Moira Murphy, Kevin Brannigan, Donal Fallon, Shane Fitzgerald, Rónán Burtenshaw. Recording: Thom McDermott. Artwork: Moira Murphy. With thanks to: Dr. Conor Kostick, Barra Hamilton, John Tighe, Eoin Griffin, Fiona Dunkin, Pádraig Madden and Aoife Campbell.

    This Party Totally Rocks 53 26th September

    What is it with birthdays in Autumn?  Did our parents have nothing better to do 9 months ago?  As I have been up to my eyeballs in birthday celebrations over the last week and will continue with my own this week, I have dedicated the show to banging tunes and the word party which I think I utter about 397 times over the course of the hour.  Things kick off with bangers from Butthole Surfers and Red Fang before a favourite from Queens of the Stone Age that I played at HMD’s recent celebrations gets a go.  Next up it’s the Hex Dispensers, The Dwarves, The Damned, The Saints, The Mean Jeans, The Hard-Ons and Agent Orange.  At the half hour mark its two party tunes I forgot to play at HMD’s do last week –first The Eagles of Death Metal and then Electric Six.  These are followed by absolutely stonking tunes from Turbonegro, Poison Idea, Ministry, Melt Banana, No Means No, Snuff and The Gits before Motorhead wrap things up with a dedication to Nathalie on her imminent move to the UK.  This week all of the links are YouTube clips so that you can do a YouTube dj party if you want.  Party Party Party!!!

    In this edition of the programme I’m featuring a selection of tracks from various parts of Africa taken off compilations that have been gathering dust in my room for the past year or so and now getting around to playing finally. As usual there’s a mix of styles to keep the curious even curiouser. And we mark the passing of PETE SHELLEY last week with a couple of numbers from his band, BUZZCOCKS.
