BRISTOL PIRATE RADIO RECORDINGS: Art and Sound of the Bristol Underground feat. Emergency Radio

BRISTOL PIRATE RADIO RECORDINGS

This blog is intended for me to post my pirate radio recordings. Most of the recordings are from Bristol, most will be pirate but there will be some legal stations and stations from other cities or national stations.

IF YOU OR YOUR FRIENDS HAVE ANY TAPE RECORDINGS OF PIRATE RADIO FROM BRISTOL, PLEASE SUBMIT THEM TO THIS BLOG BY RECORDING THEM TO MP3 (CLICK HERE FOR A HELP GUIDE) AND UPLOADING THEM TO http://www.sharebee.com, or a similar site such as Megaupload, Mediafire, ZShare, but not Rapidshare as it's getting a bit hard to use. SEND THE URL IT GIVES YOU TO ME VIA A COMMENT ON MY LATEST POST or BY EMAIL AT bristolpirates at gmail.com (you'll have to correct that with the proper @ symbol, I started getting spam on the address). WE COULD ALSO ARRANGE A PICK-UP OF YOUR TAPES IF YOU LIVE IN BRISTOL AND CAN'T CONVERT TAPES TO MP3. THANKS IN ADVANCE, YOU WILL BE CREDITED.

Art and Sound of the Bristol Underground feat. Emergency Radio

A new book by Chris Burton and Gary Thompson has been published by Tanget Books and was launched at the Arnolfini on Thurday 22nd October. It's titled 'Art & Sound of the Bristol Underground' and features interviews with many local musicians from the 1980s, as well as graf artists from the same period. Club flyers and other artworks are also featured alongside the interviews.

The best thing about the book is that it features Paul Hassan talking about Emergency Radio and giving the short version of it's story.

Overall, the book is an excellent read for anybody who was there or is interested in the history of the Bristol music scene during the 80s.

Extra information about Emergency Radio, along with recordings will be featured at The Pirate Archive soon.
