There are two NI Rocks Shows uploaded each week on Rock Radio NI. These are the playlists for those shows for the month of December – all of which are still available from the On Demand Player. There are tracks by around 170 different artists on the Shows this month. Playlists for November were published previously and most of those Shows are also available via the On Demand Player – http://www.rockradioni.co.uk/news/rrni-updates/3828-ni-rocks-playlists-for-november-2021.html

 

I’ve created monthly Spotify playlists for the Friday NI Rocks Show that feature as many of the tracks from each month’s Shows as I can find. There are playlists available for each month since July.

 

During 2021 there were 53 Friday NI Rocks Shows, featuring 1,300 tracks by 548 different artists. There were also 52 NI Rocks A-Z Shows, featuring 737 tracks by 719 different artists.


There were no new interviews this month, but earlier interviews with Danny Danzi and Jim Kirkpatrick were repeated on one Show. During 2021 there were 11 different guests on the Friday NI Rocks Show and we also featured 9 different pre-recorded promo interviews.

 

All interviews can be found here - http://www.rockradioni.co.uk/interviews.html and on the NI Rocks MixCloud page as well - https://www.mixcloud.com/NIRocks/ .

The “NI Rocks Recommends” feature for December included just two album releases – from Manimal and Land of Gypsies.


**********************************

The Friday NI Rocks Show is two hours long and will feature a mix of new releases, tracks by bands who’ll be playing gigs in NI, classic tracks, local bands and some interviews. Shows are available from the On Demand Player for about 8 weeks following upload - http://www.rockradioni.co.uk/hosts/ni-rocks-friday-rock-show.html
