I'm new to this so I hope I don't step on anyone's toes. I was wondering what others are doing now for radio shows and finding new music. I would appreciate any pointers to places that can lead me to stuff that isn't mainstream. I remember Pat Nevin saying last year in a tribute programme for JP that he didn't know where he was going to get his regular feed of new music now. Well, since then I've been on the same search. Maybe I could start things off and say that a programme on BBC Radio Scotland called Celtic Connections is brilliantly off-centre. Music from all round the world. Probably closer to Kershaw than Peely but lots of great unheard of stuff. And the presenter, Mary Ann Kennedy, has the warmth and love of her music that the man would appreciate. Try finding a CD called Grit by Martyn Bennett (another good guy no longer with us). Definitely different.

Well I have been listening to a lot of internet radio, this has been helping to ease the void.  That and old archives of John's show, since it is reasuring to hear his voice now and then.  Take a look at the links section for some alternative listening, that keeps getting bigger all the the time with user input.  Registered users can submit web links which will help it all the more.

I have to say that I don't think Huw and Rob have done a bad job with their OneMusic shows - better than I could have hoped, to be honest.  Ras Kwarme less so, unfortunately. Kanal K in Switzerland can be good.  And that show I can't remember, but it's linked to on the Listen With Sarah website and goes on air Tuesday evenings - this is probably the closest to a Peel programme you'll get.

I think "that show" on Tuesdays is Another Nice Mess, you can catch it live on Tuesday nights at 19:00 CET, check it out at http://dfm.nu or if you miss it you can always listen to this weeks show at http://www.anothernicemess.com/listenagain.html, I host this stream.

This is excellent information guys. It hasn't occured to me to search the internet - being so insular and narrowminded as I am - I have not long got hold of a digital radio. Armed with this info, the world's my oxter. Grin

Hey, i'm new aswell and loved John's show. My alternative at the moment is an internet show hosted buy a guy called Smithy. Every friday night at 9 O'clock on www.eXtremeindieradio.com

There will never be another John Peel, but there are some similarities. Each record Smithy plays challenges the last one and there is the occasional mess up like playing a track at the wrong speed or playing the wrong track which he cleverly and quickly disguises.

Not sure if you guys would agree but if you have the chance then I would reccommend it.

Thanks

Hello,
resonancefm.com has some interesting stuff, the COUNTER CULTURE RADIO show on thursdays at 12pm is pretty good for hearing new releases...

"COUNTER CULTURE RADIO is Rough Trade Shops weekly roller coaster ride through some of the intriguing new releases that have come our way this week. Neil Mackay (from the Neals Yard shop) and Simon Russell (Talbot Rd) play the kind of records that first drew them to Rough Trade Shops, and provide an alternative to playlisted commercial radio, exposing artists who get little airplay elsewhere."

Have to say the only thing I've found to listen to of late on the BBC is Tommy Boyds talk show on Souther Counties.

DandelionRadio.com     It's the best alternative I've found . I'm writing down track names and bands on bits of paper almost as much as I did over the 35 years of listening to John

After seeing the recent Altman Movie I've realy been enjoying the Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor.

Online Archive @ http://prairiehome.publicradio.org

I think its also on BBC Radio 7 for folk in the UK and RTE in Ireland...

Cheers.
