Cruisin’ and playin’Â the radio
Long, long ago, the Harp Surgery crew grooved to the atmospheric intonations of Radio Luxembourg/Radio My Amigo and Radio Caroline. The Boat That Rocked (Pirate Radio – US) captures the rock’n'roll spirit of this early pop radio broadcasting.
Now that hyper-space has replaced the high-seas, Harp Surgery has made a bunch of new blues DJ mates across the internet. In this series we’d like to introduce you to a few. So, silence in the studio please..we’re on air.
Blues And Son
Our newest internet blues radio buddies are the fabulous Mjka Scott and Kala Shaplin at Blues & Son on Brighton & Hove Community Radio. Convening each Friday from 5-6pm (GMT), they deliver a jolly, and very English commentary.
Of course, being local, the Good Doctor drops in from time to time for a chat and a chuckle. And next week the show’s live studio guest will be Chicago’s very own harmonica wizard, Joe Filisko. Be sure to tune in!
Here’s this week’s show, with some great offerings from Champion Jack Dupree, Memphis Slim, Johnny Copeland, Eddie Vinson and Jimmy Rogers. Plus a few extra surprises.
You can tune in to Blues & Son at Brighton & Hove Community Radio (BHCR) through their main website, or listen to past broadcasts via their Facebook page. Just scroll down to the Blues And Son entries. And, in Mjka’s own immortal words, stay tuned, stay curious.
Hi Wilf! Try Oil City Blues Radio, great internet blues station with loads of harp content. Brian “King B” Irving
