eastglosmog Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 At the risk of seeming terribly high brow, at this time of year I have the Proms on most evenings up in the layout room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew575 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 (edited) http://www.radiocaroline.co.uk Currently there is a choice between their Album channel or the Flashback channel (60s & 70s) on the internet. Caroline North returns most months via Manx Radio 1368 or the internet for usually the last weekend. I tend to switch between the channels depending on the DJ - it's nice to hear music that most other stations seldom play and with few ads. Radio Caroline has been granted an AM licence by Ofcom and will soon be back on 648kHz, covering Essex and Suffolk.

steve1 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Music can be Absolute Classic Rock (since we lost Planet Rock around here) or varied CDs/tapes on the ghetto blaster. A lot of the time though I like Radio 4 and Radio 4 Extra, especially plays and comedy shows such as I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again or the Baldi murder mysteries. steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwrosebury2000 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Radio 4 - The Archers or a documentary if i'm in the cellar. If im painting people in the kitchen then music on the laptop - heavy metal, rock, pop, anything, very varied collection on my laptop.

wollastonblue Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I do tend to vear towards electronic music, when I'm modelling or any other job around the house for that matter. Anything from the Pet shop Boys, to Calvin Harris, Pop to Hard House. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Middlesea John Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 My main hobby is music - performing, writing, listening and helping to organise a festival - and modelling is my second hobby. I have to say I very rarely have music playing when I am modelling; I tend to do one or the other. I play in 2 bands - 2 different genres of rock music. In one there is another railway modeller. Interestingly there are now several members of Hull MRS who are regulars at gigs I play with both bands. On a different track, we do sing a lot when in a van on the way to exhibitions but that's probably another story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium ColinK Posted July 20, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 20, 2017 Music is hindering my modelling! Went to a bluegrass festival last year, my wife and I sat in a double bass workshop one afternoon for something to do. Wife said 'I wouldn't mind trying that', I thought the same but kept quiet as a double bass is far too big for our tiny bungallow. Afterwards emailed my friends 'lucky to get home without having to buy a double bass'. One replied 'I've got one, would you like to borrow it?' So now its lessons every two weeks and lots of practice n between. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium jjb1970 Posted July 22, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 22, 2017 Radio 4 or Radio 4X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvdlcs Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 A number of weekly shows from Radio 2, via the Internet. Sounds of the 60s (Tony Blackburn), Sounds of the 70s (Johnnie Walker), and Sounds of the 80s (Sara Cox). Pick of the Pops (Paul Gambaccini) sometimes gets a look-in, depending on which years are being featured that week. Otherwise a local rock radio station. Or an album, or themed selection, from my music collection via the jukebox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever written in with an update of what's on your work bench? It's probably just the sort of thing he'd read out to the listeners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
