Hi Mate,

got your message....

we play at different times on a Tuesday night....from 7.00 til 8.30 at brookvale rec

hope that helps? - not sure how youd get there if you are still in Liverpool

[John Pagan]

yeah, still in liverpool. knew it'd be a bit of a long shot re being able to get the sports centre though.

reckon we could still organise a few charity games against other local radio stations

[John Pagan]

bit late in updating the past few weeks and quite frankly I've forgotten what I've played.

But seemingly last week were The Rolling Stones was my band of the week come be the last time that feature is ever heard. And would also end the chances of another Beatles Bank Holiday Bonanza.

Tune into my show from 4pm til 6pm to hear me fill 2 hours with radio gold

[John Pagan]

14th March 2009

Next weeks show is a pre-record and see the return of Thief vs Chief, as well as artist of the week and it doesn't matter what you name is. I'm away in New York so I hope you all listen in and enjoy my show.

[John Pagan]

having spoken to Pete earlier to confirm my pre record broadcast did hit the airwaves I'll just start by saying i hope everyone enjoyed listening to my show last saturday, and that I really enjoyed doing it in anticioation of my holiday to New York.

any how, artist of The Week: bruce Springsteen, songs played - American Land (from We Shall Overcome), My Of Ruins (from The Rising) and Thunder Road (from Born To Run)

Thief Vs. Chief - Everything But The Girl vs. Simon+Garfunkel - The Only Living Boy In New York

It Doesn't Matter What Your Name Is! America by Simon and Garfunkel and America by Razorlight

my show will be back live again this saturday at 4pm GMT

[John Pagan]

Hmm....seems like I've not been updating this for quite a while.

Anyhow starting this saturday and over the next 9 weeks my album of the week will be my own top 9 albums of all time, the actual order itself will be revealed on the 10th show on the 08/08/09 which is the 1st anniversarry of HCR's full time launch.

Also because I've still to work out an order.

Firstly its a top 9 because you should always have a 10th spot free for that new ace album you discover. Secondly the top 9 is limited to one album per band/artist.

I'll also have a 'It doesn't matter what you name is' and a bit of a report of what went down at E3 (computer games expo) this week s well, and film reviews of 12 Rounds and Terminator Salvation

hope you can tune in.

[nickb]

Can ask in advance if there will be a beatles album?

The show still sounds fresh mate even though its been nearly a year

[John Pagan]

a beatles album has unsurprisingly made in into the top 9. got the 9 albums I'm doing sorted, haven't actually put them into an order yet so that'll be done for last show
