What better place for a radio studio than inside a boat, outside a pub?

Yes, there really is a Radio Wivenhoe. And it's as fab as 208 was way back when

The Best Fun For Twenty Years




On Saturday I had the best fun since, er, Friday (twenty years ago, when I used to do this sort of thing). I went to a record shop, to celebrate Independent Record Store Day. I went to Blast Records And Comics, in Braintree, Essex, and had a whale of a time rummaging through their racks and choosing fifty singles to buy. At 20p each, I thought, why not indeed?

I was delighted to find Reunion's 'Life Is A Rock (But The Radio Rolled Me' - note no closure bracket - someone wasn't paying attention at the RCA Artwork Department that day back in 1974!

This single find was perfect for me, as it links in beautifully with another great discovery that I recently made, that of the Daily Vinyl Blog, run by a cool dude in Nashville.

I urge you to check it out. It's full of jolly good stuff, like the video above of the aforementioned 45.
