ABOUT

RadioNowhere was started in 2002 as a reaction to the lack of support commercial radio was giving to unsigned, forgotten and deleted artists, and now has a devoted following of over 250,000 listeners in over 30 countries. RadioNowhere is a non-profit organisation that strives to provide great music with no playlisting, censorship or corporate sponsorship from major labels.  It has become a trusted and reliable source of discovering new music and hidden gems by its growing legion of fans, who look forward to original programming by presenters that are truly passionate about music and deliver an eclectic mix of artists.  More than 8 million people a week are tuning into internet radio in the UK alone and RadioNowhere has become a respected leader in this field. 

The Christopher Laird Show is a weekly show which is gaining momentum with lovers of independent up-and-coming music in the UK and around the world.  Each show has a featured ‘Artist of the Week’ to help promote the best new and independent artists from around the world.  This segment has become a very popular feature on RadioNowhere, and has included music and interviews from Camera Obscura, Emmy The Great, Au Revoir Simone, The School, Operator Please, Slow Club, The Ettes, and The Joy Formidable to name just a few.  Special features from Primavera, Indietracks and Bestival have been other highlights of past programming.

RadioNowhere also delivers a number of monthly shows:

Ruby’s Chicky Boil-Ups, presented by Ruby Wright, is a monthly themed show – recent themes include ‘watery deaths’, ‘opposites’ and ‘monkeys’.  Ruby has a dedicated following who love her eclectic and eccentric playlists!

Jessica 6 travels through time from the 1950s to present day in her magic yellow bubble car to deliver a monthly, year-themed show covering all genres and styles of music, with some historical and musical trivia thrown in.

The Library of Sound, hosted by Rachel Devlin and Jenny Leaman, showcases their musical influences in a monthly
round-table show, with a featured letter of the month, an album from the library, and their inimitable banter.

Filmic, presented by film music human-encyclopaedia Ley Bricknell, is a monthly film music show, consisting of music from films, trailers, cues, themes and a regular John Barry tune.

Love Action’s Friday Fix, presented by Jessie Ward, offers a monthly early-morning funky musical fix to give you that Friday feeling and kick start your weekend.

All programmes are available for download as podcasts.

RadioNowhere is here to continue the 70’s and 80's art of championing the underground.  Music has come full circle since then, and thanks to advances in technology, the underground's voice can be heard once again, in a much broader format via the internet. 

We believe strongly in the DIY ethos, putting the music at the forefront of what we do, producing original programming that we hope will continue to delight the growing numbers of real music fans who are turning to internet radio for a real alternative.  We try to work in partnership with promoters, organisations and artists who we feel share our ethos, and we hope that you will be willing to help support what we do here at RadioNowhere.

The success of RadioNowhere has also spawned a sinister sister station, The Vinyl Dungeon, which is dedicated exclusively to rare and out of print vinyl spanning the history of recorded music.  Listen in for golf instruction records, mariachi bands and ‘read along’ stories!  Do you have what it takes to survive VD…?
