24 Hours of Live DJs

Once again, Christmas is upon us and Slave Radio will be welcoming in the festive season with another 24 hours of live music and presenters throughout Christmas Eve.

Papa Bear will be launching the marathon at midnight assisted by the girl with pigtails, before handing over the airwaves to Rebel Roots at 4am. The Softcore Whore takes over at 7am for the next three hours and then The Monkey Man will continue from 10am. Half way through the marathon and Mel and Paradise will then take the airtime across the Atlantic to the UK at 2pm, until Hairy Trev takes over at 4pm welcoming in Christmas day in the UK with classic festive music. Finally at 8pm The Hardcore Troubadour brings it all to a close with the final 4 hours until midnight to see in the 25th December.

Check the calander at the top of the blog for showtime confirmation.

(Note: Times listed are Eastern Standard Time... add 5 hours for UK)

Monkey Man moving!

Hi folks!

Just a quick message to let people know that for the coming weeks, the Monkey Man will be doing his business on a Thursday night, following on from Mel and Paradise's "Bits and Pieces"

Keep checking the blog for timings and when he reverts to his regular slot.

Hairy Trev's Disco Inferno!

Hi folks!

Short notice I know but I did say about it on my show for the past couple of weeks...

TONIGHT!!! (Saturday 29th November) drag out your platform shoes, your flares and the big afro hairstyles... and join me for a boogie at: 

HAIRY TREV'S 70'S / DISCO INFERNO!!!

5PM EASTERN TIME / 10PM UK

3 hours of the best of disco and pop from the decade!

Happy Halloween!

The Hardcore Troubadour Show will follow immediately after at approx 9pm Eastern / 1am UK

Daylight Saving Time

Once again it's that time of year when everyone fiddles with their time pieces and spends about 3 hours running around the house changing their clocks... have you ever considered how many clcoks we have to check? Personally, my computers, TV and DVD machine all do it automatically, but I have 3 mobile phones, 2 landline phones, alarm clock, kitchen clock... how many of you get in your car in the morning to find it's the one you forgot to change?

Anyway... as always happens, we in the UK have switched to daylight saving before you folks in the states so it throws into confusion the sdhow times on Slave Radio.. so here for your benefit is a revised listing for the rest of this week:

All shows will start at their normal time according to the DJ's local timezone. Times in Red indicate a different time when listeners in that region will be required to tune in!

followed by:            The Bear Cave 9pm Eastern / 1am UK time

Wednesday 29th:  The Hairy Trev Rock Show 6pm Eastern / 10pm UK time

followed by:            Monkey Magic 9pm Eastern / 1am UK time

Thursday 30th:       Bits and Pieces 5pm Eastern / 9pm UK time

Friday 31st:           The Scary Trev Rock Show 6pm Eastern / 10pm UK time

Catching Up....

Hi Folks!

As many of you will known, I took a little break away from Slave Radio during September but am now back with a vengeance and rocking you all out on a Wednesday night, as hard and strong as ever...

But in my absence, I confess that I have neglected the blog so I am taking this opportunity to bring you up to date with things...

In the past month or so, we've had several new shows and DJ's joining us so first of all, a hearty warm welcome to Papabear and the girl with pigtails who have settled in nicely on a Tuesday night. You can catch their show immediately after the softcore whore show at 9pm Eastern Time.

Another new addition to the team is Monkey Man who brings a fresh look to Wednesday nights, immediately following my Hairy Trev Rock Show. (8pm Eastern Time).

Paradise and Mel have now moved their "Bits and Pieces show to the vacant slot on Thursday evenings so you you'll be able to catch up with their topics at 4pm Eastern time. This move has created a suitable position for Rebel Roots (I think I've got the name right...) to bring the flavour of the Carribean to Slave Radio.

A warm welcome to all our new members, and wishing you many happy hours of Broadcasting!

(Please can new DJ's get in touch with me so I can post some info about yourselves and your shows on the blog!)

The End of an Era....?

It is with great regret, a heavy heart and possibly even a small hint of a tear that after more than 3 years and over 200 live shows, Hairy Trev has put the air guitar to one side and hung up his microphone for the time being, in order to concentrate on various personal problems.

As many readers and listeners will be aware, I have struggled over the past few years to maintain or even get a regular job and I've had to survive on Government benefits. The obvious financial difficulties this creates, when combined with the personal emotions involved when you spend day after day with little to occupy your mind results in an overall feeling of melancholy and disappointment.

However, you will of course remember the immense pride I felt when I was doing my voluntary work rebuilding old steam locomotives, you'll have heard my more cheery moments when I've been able to do my driving jobs in recent months but above all, you will have all witnessed the enthusiasm and dedication I have put in to my shows on Slave Radio.

I can say with my hand on my heart that I have often wondered why I commit myself to spending the time creating a perfect show, and then three hours presenting it with no reward for my efforts... and then I remember why... BECAUSE I LOVE IT!

And the future? Well, right now, my personal emotions and problems leave me needing just a little time away from things, to cool off, chill out and take stock of my life. I know from past experience that I can decide to stop doing something I've enjoyed, and it isn't long before I miss the preparation, the performance and bringing out the showman in me. I have no doubt that this will be another of those occasions and it won't be long before I am itching to get back on air again...

On a personal note, I would like to thank Phil and Dawn for giving me the opportunity, all the staff and  DJ's past and present for their frienship, but most of all, to you, the listeners for all the wonderful friendship, support and enjoment you've given me... the end of an era....

... or is it?
