Exciting, strong characters, envy, treachery, David Bowie, football violence, navigating around Belfast’s ring of steel. Bad decisions. Realistic and believable. Caroline Music carrier bags.
This was the planned running order – there were a few minor changes in order, (I was a bit tired and opened the wrong fader a couple of times leading to hilarious consequences). There are some notes on the music and artists, too.

Recently a group on Facebook was started “Friends of Downtown Radio 1976 – 2019”. Many of the people I used to work with have been posting memories and photos. Downtown is where I started in 1979. The 40th anniversary is in November.

In this episode I’m playing music from from Uruguay and previewing a couple of festivals happening over the next weeks on the Iberian peninsula: Festival Músicas do Mundo, Sines, Portugal (FMM) and Festival Intercéltico do Morrazo in Galicia.
