Jessie & Christopher return to the airwaves!

RadioNowhere is pleased to announce the launch of a new, vinyl-only show, The RadioNowhere Vinyl Dungeon, hosted by Christopher Laird.

The new show brings listeners obscure, rare and forgotten vinyl treats from the height of the vinyl era, including musical tasters from space age pop, beautiful music, funk, and some other oddities such as instructional and children's read-a-long records.  In addition the new show adds selections from current artists who remain committed to releasing their music on vinyl formats, such as Crocodiles who will feature on the debut episode.  All music on The Vinyl Dungeon comes from a vinyl source, lovingly delivering the warm, enveloping sounds of vinyl to your ears via 21st century technology.

Artists, labels or anyone interested in having their music featured on The Vinyl Dungeon should e-mail vinyldungeon at radionowhere dot org

RadioNowhere is also pleased to announce the return of our favourite September Girl, Jessie Ward-O’Sullivan, and her show Love Action’s Friday Fix. Jessie’s band September Girls will be releasing their debut album on Fortuna Pop in early 2014, but in the meantime listeners can look forward to the return of her monthly fix of new music, classic indie, soul and garage rock.

Both shows will be broadcast live at www.radionowhere.org - more information about show dates and times will be posted on:

The Christopher Laird Show 2006-2013

A few years back I was at the front of the stage in a marquee that had so few people in it, if you swung a cat you wouldn’t hit anyone.  The chap on stage was playing songs that I grew up listening to, but sadly and quite honestly he was performing them to an empty void.  But, as hit after hit was played, slowly but surely one curious soul after another entered the tent to see who was behind the melodies that were escaping it.  By the end of the gig you couldn’t move or even see the exits, and afterwards the very man who thanked everyone for remembering his music even took the time to chat to me.  It was this meeting and that awe-inspiring set that prompted me to launch a show that would aim to feature music that no other station was giving the time of day to.  Over the past few years The Christopher Laird Show has endeavoured to bring to you music you won’t hear anywhere else. 

As I look back on the many artists I have featured on my show some are still with us, some are absolutely huge now, and some sadly exist no more. Lately I have become disillusioned with it all.  Is anyone listening?  Is the show still relevant?  Am I gonna get my interview request dumped again so that the band I really want to talk to can speak to a more high-profile station?  It’s really all about raising your profile these days, isn’t it, or perhaps, actually, it always has been and I for one have just never liked or wanted to play that game (probably the wrong vocation to be a part of for someone who is constantly bucking against the system).  History never remembers the non-conformist does it? But that’s what RadioNowhere has always been about: doing something that no one else is.  

A good friend of RadioNowhere who runs an independent record label said to me, ‘We do what we do not for the rewards of money but for our love of music’.  This sentiment reminded me that for every e-mail or phone call ignored by a band or label, there was always that one band and that one label who cherished everything we were trying to do for them.  It also made me reflect on all the wonderful donors and listeners that have supported my vision for radio and for that I am incredibly grateful.  Thinking about these things made me think again about the very reason that tent was empty; it was that people hadn’t heard the music.  That is why it is time to say ‘Goodbye’ to The Christopher Laird Show and ‘Hello’ to an old friend.  Who or what, you ask?  Let’s just say no other radio show on the planet will be quite like it.  If you know me, I’m sure you’ve probably figured it out already… stay tuned…

Oh, by the way, the chap playing the marquee that afternoon was a really nice and rather talented fellow by the name of Nile Rodgers.
