Marking the anniversaries of Lennon's birthday and assassination, the Bluecoat is recreating John and Yoko’s famous 1969 peace protest as each day a performer, artist or plain old member of the public hosts new action. So on Monday 15th November sonic artist Sunshine Gray will be recording members of the public speaking lyrics from Give Peace a Chance - with the assistance of Daz Disley ( in the bed with all the equipment! ) - & mixing them into a sound work to be heard at the gallery till December. Recording Times - 11am - 3pm
Daz and Sunshine appeared on Art in LIverpool FM back in 2008 you can listen to Sunshine's work below.
A momentous Rathole Radio this time as I launched the all new website for my band 20lb Sounds. I’ve been working hard on it in the last week or two and I also played a world exclusive new studio track called “Jimmy Carter”, we’ve been perfecting it and we hope you like it. I also played an acoustic version of my own song celebrating NanoWrimo which started Nov 1st, along with the usual compliment of great music. Sit back put your feet up and enjoy.
OK this is a bit of a back catalogue release from Defnet Media especially for Halloween.
These 3 ghost stories emerged from a conversation with a.P.A.t.T, who had been looking to set up a performance of ghost stories with a different musician in different rooms of a house. We started to work together on a project where people would wander around the house and hear and see a different story within each room.The works originally were intended to add flavour and atmosphere alongside video and music. If you walked into the room you would hear, not a story, just fragments of someone's life and fears. The limits of space and time meant that it became a performance in one situation, so they had to develop into stories with varying success.
Welcome to another live edition of Rathole Radio. I was asked back to do another show at the Nerve Centre in Liverpool (that doesn’t happen often hehe), I was happy to oblige of course. This time I brought my band 20lb Sounds and we rocked the place with drums and bass. I hope you enjoy it.

Welcome to a very special edition of Rathole Radio. This time I performed and recorded the show live in the heart of Liverpool, at the old Rapid Hardware paint shop on Renshaw St to be precise. It’s now called the Nerve Centre and it was the location for our How Why DIY event.
A weekend camping trip to North Wales ended up lasting a day longer than planned and I only just arrived home in time for this show. Unprepared, tired and sun burnt I somehow managed to pull off another Rathole Radio. I enjoyed it a lot and everyone in the chatroom seemed to as well. Have a listen for yourself and see what you think.

Another Rathole Radio is upon us. I have to confess I didn’t broadcast this show live as I was out watching England V Germany in the World Cup. We were so comprehensively beaten in that game I’m glad I pre-recorded this. I wasn’t in much of a mood to do it after. Still, it’s a great show I think and I hope you all enjoy it. Don’t forget to leave comments and get in touch. Normal service will be resumed next time I promise.
Back after a brief sojourn Ian and I take a trip to The Liverpool Art prize show at Metal at Edge Hill to record this podcast - so listen out for the trains and just for extra impact it's unedited.

Back in May Ernie Paniccioli called into our office with Mike Badger. Ernie had been over here for Liverpool Sound City, to launch his exhibition and for an in conversation style event with the godfather of hip hop, Afrika Bambaataa after a preview of his film The Other Side of Hip Hop.
I wasn't prepared for the interview but I'm not sure that mattered, as even I didn't want to hear my voice I just wanted to hear what Ernie had to say. I've pieced together Ernie's speech at the opening of his exhibition and then the chat we had in our office. The other people present are Ian and Mina Jackson from artinliverpool.com
