BRISTOL PIRATE RADIO RECORDINGS: Multi FM 87.7

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.

Multi FM 87.7

If you are interested, a temporary urban youth station called Multi-FM is this week on the air at 87.7 FM from studios in Kingswood featuring lots of dubstep, UK garage, grime and the suchlike. They have an RSL (restricted service license) for four days this week. Some of the material broadcast is full of swearing and references to cannabis, so we have a weird state of affairs whereby a legal station is airing rude material, whereas the main local pirate station, Passion Radio, has a policy of not playing disrespectful tracks.

Youngsters in South Gloucestershire have become radio broadcasters with the return this week of Multi FM.

The radio project is broadcasting from the Old School youth centre in Kingswood for the second year running after being granted a licence by Ofcom and will continue with interviews, live music and songs.

Those involved are aged between 12 and 20 and prepared for their week on air with help from Phil Gibbons, the station manager at Bristol Community Radio, and sound engineer Matt Thomas.

Guests turning up for interview include members of Bristol Rugby Club, while Kaman Miller, winner of the Best New Breakthrough Act at the 2008 UK Urban Music Awards, is hosting a regular slot.

The youth centre is run by South Gloucestershire Council and Councillor Sheila Cook, praised the efforts of the youngsters.

She said: "Multi FM is a fantastic project. It has enabled a group of young people to come together and create something they can be proud of, as well as learning new skills."

The station broadcasts on 87.7FM between noon and 10pm until Friday.
