Continue reading “Wreckers News 2nd September”We’re back from another great Cornwall Folk Festival in Wadebridge. We spent 3 days broadcasting live from the Folk Acoustic and Roots stage – the recordings are gradually getting uploaded. Saturday’s are now all online and individual acts are available as podcasts and will be in the schedule from 2nd September every day between 10am and about 5pm.
Emma spent some time gathering interviews with performers and people in the streets and audiences – these are also appearing as podcasts. She was also performing herself with Annown on the FAR stage and at Saltbar and going to late night sessions in the Ship and the Swan.
We both managed to get to various, but not all, of the evening events in the Town Hall and the Betjemin Centre and some kind of summary will appear here as a blog post drekkly.
All in all a fantastic event and big thanks and kudos to the entire team of volunteers who put in on ably lead by Adrian Jones.
Only a fortnight to go until Cornwall Folk Festival.
Wreckers Radio will be there again broadcasting live from the FAR (Folk Acoustic & Roots) stage which runs from 11am to 7pm.
Up until the festival starts we are featuring a playlist of some of the FAR acts three times a day at 10am, 3pm and 8pm. We also have a playlist of acts on the other stages at midday, 5pm and 10pm daily.
FAR features 30 minute sets from a wide range of acts from across Cornwall and the SW as well as food and drink, and the organisers promise “good Cornish weather”!
Tickets for the FAR stage are only £5 a day and are available on the door, come & go as you please throughout the day. A great place to hang out between other events, come and say hello.
New music on the station this week includes albums from three Cornish Bands not heard here before:
A selection from these five albums (Dance The Night Away -Wurlitza, Trees on the Hill and The River Rolls On – The Countrymen, Hubbadillia and The Antiquated & the Arcane by 3 Daft Monkeys will be featured between 6 and 8pm on Sunday 5th, and then a shorter 1 hour selection on Monday to Saturday starting at 01:00 on Monday and moving forwards 3 hours each day.
The schedule is starting to evolve – Cornish Cream featuring only Cornish acts plays for an hour at 9am or 6pm on alternate days except Sunday. The Sunday 7pm slot will feature music new to the station each week and rotating through the days as above. Watch for news of new theed shows over the coming weeks.
Yes, we know that the schedule page on the site is not very usable, we will be working to improve it in due course – although it might have to wait until we do a complete redesign.
