This sunday we've ep 2 of Rudy's Rare Records, Get Up, Stand Up 

Last week met goth shop assistant Tricia, lost love Alison and Clifton, king of pick up line and Rudy’s drinking buddy. we got to hear (and so did Adam) that Rudy didn’t actually have a heart attack and is fit enough to drink and chat up the girls down the pub. This week Adam demonstrates his inability to compliment women, the community centre get hold of rudy to talk about what life was like in the area, and Ritchie sets himself up as a record producer. All this plus some great music. so sweep back the dreadlocks and listen in

Inspired by the Jabsco sessions

Rudy's Rare Records.

From July 11 to Aug 1 the Sunday Night Comedy Show is running four episodes of Rudy’s Rare Records. A reggae influenced comedy show set in Birmingham, based on a stormy relationship between a father and son. Son Adam, who fled the family home in birmingham for a better life, nowlives in london and owns a well organized upmarket record shop (Bach To Basics) which specialises in classical records. Rudy, Adams father, owns a shambolic, real roots reggae shop in Birmingham where where Rudy’s “If it's not on the shelves, it's on the floor”, approach to storing/cataloguing his stock is polar opposite to Adams perfectly catalogued shelves.

When circumstances bring Adam home to look after his dad and the shop, comedic conflict is ready to unfold.

Clever writing from Dan Tetsell and Danny Robins, combined with some great vintage reggae and ska music that would not be out of place on The Jabsco Sessions (first sat of every month here on Waiheke Radio) makes this one of the better comedy shows around.

July 4th Episode 1. Roots Maneuvers 

Adam gets the call to come 'home,' and has to take himself and his teenage son Ritchie ‘oop north’ when his dad has a heart attack.

The Sunday Special - Ska before the Specials

Posted 08/06/2009 - 22:30 by Countrymike

Matthew presents “Ska before the Specials”

As the Specials announce their reunion, hear the music that inspired them; Jamaican Ska of the 50s and 60s from early days of Prince Buster and Don Drummond, to the Hammond organ sounds of the Harry J Allstars. Hear the originals of songs like “Monkey Man” and “a Message to You Rudy”. Many Ska musicians went on to play Rocksteady and then Reggae in the 70s before the Specials, the Selecter and the Beat burst onto the scene with a Ska revival in 1979. High energy Ska is a classic form that continues to inspire musicians and audiences today - find out where it all began.

Sunday 9:30 - late.
