BLOG NEIL CRUD – TudnoT FM
My radio show kickstarts, or reboots again tonight… I’m both nervous and excited at the prospect.
Since the demise of TudnoFM my show has attempted broadcasts with Facebook, Mixcloud and YouTube with varying success / failure. Much to the extent that I only managed three shows thus far this year…
I miss the excitement of doing a live show, and particularly when there’s a live act in session. That is what the Tudno FM studio offered… Somewhere a band can play and be broadcast to the thronging masses. It wasn’t about the FM frequency (although that did have a certain charm) as the majority of listeners did so online. It was about that edge of uncertainty – whether a band was gonna send a volley of expletives over the airwaves or if the singer was gonna dropkick the drummer during a live song (both did happen).
So, after much haranguing and encouragement, I’ve been coaxed back into broadcasting again… I must admit, I both missed doing it and didn’t miss doing it… I missed the buzz of discovering something new and the fact that you did too. Plenty of listeners and bands bought and sold their music on account of the show, and that was the main reason I did it…So let’s do it again…
The new show is live on Twitch, and starts at 10pm TONIGHT – Monday 4th October 2021
