I started uploading Shows that featured interviews that I had recorded to MixCloud back in 2014. There are now over 125 Shows on the NI Rocks MixCloud page including a few old ones from 2013 that I rediscovered recently.
Shows that include interviews are usually available for about 8 weeks after broadcast via the On Demand Player on the Rock Radio NI website as well as being uploaded to the NI Rocks MixCloud page - https://www.mixcloud.com/NIRocks/

Singer Tony Mitchell contacted us recently to make sure we had a copy of “Unfinished Business”, the new album from Mitchell’s Kiss of the Gypsy. I took the opportunity to arrange a chat with Tony to talk about the new album, his solo albums, the Dirty White Boyz release and more. The interview was recorded on 18th October and can be heard on the Friday NI Rocks Show that was uploaded on 21st October - available now via our MixCloud site. You’ll also hear three tracks from “Unfinished Business” as well as solo tracks and two tracks from Dirty White Boyz.

A regular feature highlighting some of the best album releases each month. I don’t do album “reviews” – this is simply a personal recommendation to check out an album - just a few words about the albums that appeal to me and about the artists releasing them. These will also be albums from which I’ll have been playing tracks on the Friday NI Rocks Shows recently. This month it will include albums from Allen/Olzon, Dead City Ruins, Marco Mendoza, House of Lords, Ginevra, Eva Under Fire, Kings of Mercia, The Dead Daisies, Mitchell's Kiss of the Gypsy and Monster Truck.
