LIVE LINK-UP WITH RADIO SEAGULL!!

It's nearly 2am on board the Starship Overflow and Mr.Lee is still buzzing! I've just completed a Live 3hr new releases show (9pm - Midnight), which was relayed by Radio Seagull in The Neherlands on 747AM and online via both our websites, as well as various players.

This is the first broadcast of it's kind for us, which we hope will lead to further Live Link-up's in the future.

The new releases show first began in 2002, after closing down the pirate station. Over a thousand shows have been produced and aired since then, thanks to many radio stations around the world. 

I first tryed a Live new releases show, way back in 1999 on the pirate station, but found it a lot of work so abandoned it for a while. When it did eventually start, it was for Radio Caroline in Holland and was ALWAYS a recorded show (originally on C90 cassettes would you believe).

Fast forward 23 years... Cant believe it's taken me this long to do a second Live New Releases Show! 

To start with, it was a bit daunting. 3hrs is a long time to cope with that level of concentration. having to make sure you play certain tracks, timings are correct and most importantly, that you have all the relevant information in the right places, so you can inform listeners. I never work from a script, never have and dont need too. But a list of pointers, plus info on the releases you play, are essential for a Live show of this nature.

Tonight was an absolute blast, I loved it! It's so much more fun, making spontaneous Live radio. Same again next Saturday night... what do you reckon?
