Welcome once again to my blog which is about the very best in World, Roots and Folk Music!
Thanks to all of you for supporting this venture, and for spreading the word supporting world/roots/folk music and especially north-east England acts, venues and promoters…these are lean times as we all know. This venture aims to act as an umbrella for all the venues, promoters, acts, gig goers, CD and download buyers of roots music especially but not exclusively in north-east England. It hopes to make all those connected to roots music in whatever way in the northeast to work together to support roots music better…and to you who were already doing this before I started this thank you for your work so far. I hope I end up complementing your well.
Apologies to local musician Jez Lowe, it was intended he
would be this month’s featured local artist. However, due to his CDs
temporarily going AWOL in the RootsoftheWorld vaults this has not been
possible. Jez will be found and rightfully put on this podcast asap! In the
meantime catch up with Jez at: http://www.jezlowe.com

3rd edition now out on Soundcloud and now on Podomatic at :http://newcastlerootsmusicradio.podomatic.com/entry/2012-10-01T12_23_13-07_00
.-so you can now catch Newcastle Roots Music Radio in
your podcatching software! I am hoping
to get it onto I Tunes in the next week or so, -so keep checking- but this is a hobby, albeit a passionate one
and so has to be fitted around the day job, so that development may take a wee
while as I know uploading podcasts to the I Tunes store can be problematic! Some
of my self-confessed non tech savvy friends have expressed some anxiety about
accessing this podcast. Just follow the link and click play. If you don’t like
something then drag the cursor on the programme to where you do (hopefully!).
If you can’t listen to it on the computer, or haven’t got the time to, download
and burn to CD and play it in the car (needs to have an “MP3” CD player
currently) or other MP3 player…you might be surprised at what you have in the
house that will play MP3 format CDs (I realise some of you will be saying
“What’s the difficulty with accessing it on the PC?”…but we are at different
points on our tech journey!).
