TKRS: What Has Changed?

July 18th, 2011 by David Crane

Firstly, can I just say a big thank you to everyone that has supported my shows over the last couple of years, your loyalty, input and interaction has been greatly appreciated!

Some of you may have noticed there has been some huge changes to the Wednesday night ”TKRS” show recently. This is due to lengthy considerations of how I wanted the show to evolve as I feel sitting still is going nowhere! Some music has been removed from the playlist and some has been made more prominent in it’s presence. I know some may not like the changes, but I needed to move with how I was feeling.

Firstly, the “Teenage Kicks Radio Show” no longer exists in it’s previous format. The show is now simply titled “TKRS: Rebel Radio”.

The most dramatic change is the move away from the Mod/Scooterist identity that the show has been displaying proudly since May 2009. Please understand that I am NOT turning my back on the Scootering scene in any way, I just feel the time is right for the show to evolve. Some bands from the Scootering scene will still feature in the shows, just not as prominently as before.

I am now playing a more Alternative mix of more recent Punk, Ska, Soul, Celtic Punk, Psychobilly and Rockabilly, and will also be featuring music from new and up’n'coming artists. Artists are still invited to send their music in for consideration of being added to the playlist and I will do my best to showcase as many as I deem suitable for broadcast.

I am totally aware that some listeners may decide that the new format is not for them, that’s ok, I’m not going to try to persuade you otherwise as you know your own preferences. If you decide you no longer wish to tune in then I will take this opporunity to thank you for your support in the past! I only hope that everybody understands the need for the show to evole, afterall, radio is all about entertainment, and if I’m not entertained with my own shows then it will become impossible for me to fully entertain you, the listeners.

Fans of the “One Step Beyond” Reggae/Ska show can rest assured that I have absolutely NO plans to alter the format of that show, it will remain as it is and will still contain the great mix of old and new tunes that you have become acustomed to hearing.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, DC.

Whine and Cheese on Wednesday

July 11th, 2011 by Ross Lee

Hello Everyone…

Those astute of you might have noticed, I made a post and then deleted it… must check all my ‘ins’ and my ‘outs’ before I write next time.  Anyway, we’ll start again!

Just a friendly reminder to join me, Ross Lee, here on Ace Radio on Wednesday evening for “Whine and Cheese”… I’ll be playing all the best in ’summer’ music, to bansih those mid-week blues, and help you through to the weekend, not to mention my usual features – the ‘Whine’ (that’s Ace Radio Karaoke, for those unitiated in Whine and Cheese), and ‘Cheese’ – three hand-picked cheeses from 3 different decades.

With a last-minute change in ‘Whines’ this week, I’m very proud to introduce another mystery guest to the ‘Whine Mic’.  Let’s see if he can top Mark Alexander’s rendition of ‘Honey’ from last Wednesday!  Keep listening, and see if you can work out who’s ‘Whining’ this week!!

Also, don’t forget the little informal ‘chat-room quiz’ – just for fun, but I’m keeping a track of the scores, and might well be sending a prize to the top scorer at the end of the month too…

And, last but not least, our ‘Reverse Cover Version’ – where my unofficial featured artists put their take on a Robbie Williams classic!

All this, and more, here on Ace Radio, this Wednesday from 6pm…  I’ll see you then!!
