Title: Re: Simon on Radio Caroline Post by: steve c on October 18, 2006, 07:58:42 PM Nice and warm in sunny Maidstone now.
Title: Re: Simon on Radio Caroline Post by: Stationary M25 Traveller on October 18, 2006, 10:45:53 PM Doesn't have quite the same air of illegality and excitement does it ?
Not sure I would listen on the ten shilling transistor radio under the bedcovers, knowing the signals were coming from such a location ! Title: Re: Simon on Radio Caroline Post by: steve c on October 19, 2006, 08:28:43 PM They still play some very very good music though!

Title: Re: Simon on Radio Caroline Post by: Goaty on October 21, 2006, 12:15:00 PM Thanks for the reminder, I'd totally forgotten ::)
Title: Re: Simon on Radio Caroline Post by: gower flower (Shirl) on October 21, 2006, 12:50:02 PM Blimey! I'm getting a little fed up with waiting for this......especially as the DJ says this programme runs until 5.00 p.m. :o
Stuff to do, and all that ;D But I will wait a little longer. Title: Re: Simon on Radio Caroline Post by: Angela on October 21, 2006, 01:03:07 PM My signal keeps cutting out, :( can anyone record it?
Title: Re: Simon on Radio Caroline Post by: Goaty on October 21, 2006, 01:06:51 PM can anyone record it? I'll try but no promises, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Can anyone recommend a decent utility to grab audio ? Have you tried a different stream Angela ? Title: Re: Simon on Radio Caroline Post by: clive on October 21, 2006, 01:10:31 PM Try Audacity Ewen.
Make sure you reset the defaults to stereo recording. I'm having loads of grief trying to connect at a decent rate. The abacast thing isn't being recognised. I get sent straight to the download section. Title: Re: Simon on Radio Caroline Post by: Jim on October 21, 2006, 01:15:00 PM its almost exctly like listening to the old radio caroline isnt it
i cant hear anything either Title: Re: Simon on Radio Caroline Post by: Goaty on October 21, 2006, 01:16:08 PM Thanks Clive.
I'm listening to the WMP MP3 64k stream, no problems, no drop outs... Title: Re: Simon on Radio Caroline Post by: Jim on October 21, 2006, 01:19:22 PM oh good, ive got it now
Title: Re: Simon on Radio Caroline Post by: Goaty on October 21, 2006, 01:20:46 PM oh good, ive got it now Just in time to go to California :D Title: Re: Simon on Radio Caroline Post by: clive on October 21, 2006, 01:26:33 PM its almost exctly like listening to the old radio caroline isnt it I was just thinking that. Perhaps Simon should rustle a crisp packet and occasionally lean back from the mic to get the authentic Caroline feel.i cant hear anything either Switched PCs and got abacast/winamp working and pushing it through the stereo now. Title: Re: Simon on Radio Caroline Post by: gower flower (Shirl) on October 21, 2006, 01:27:42 PM Okay, enuff's enuff >:(
If anyone here catches the interview, please let us know what was said - anything we don't already know, etc. Have fun! :) Title: Re: Simon on Radio Caroline Post by: Angela on October 21, 2006, 01:28:12 PM I havn't got broadband, so its even worse than listening to the old radio caroline, any recommendations, other than throwing the computer out of the window which is what I feel like doing now. Stupid thing is they are in a studio only 20 miles from here :o
Title: Re: Simon on Radio Caroline Post by: gower flower (Shirl) on October 21, 2006, 01:28:42 PM I think you'll find that Simon is being interviewed from the comfort of his Chippy Norton home,Jim 8)
Title: Re: Simon on Radio Caroline Post by: Jim on October 21, 2006, 01:29:06 PM where is Simon?
and the dj's a tosser doesnt know his arse from his elbow sandy was on battle of evermore,not going to california how did GF know what iwas going to say? :o Title: Re: Simon on Radio Caroline Post by: gower flower (Shirl) on October 21, 2006, 01:29:19 PM Over the telephone, of course {:-)
Title: Re: Simon on Radio Caroline Post by: Goaty on October 21, 2006, 01:31:41 PM I've emailed the studio asking when it'll be on, whether I'll get a reply who knows...
The recording appears to be working at the moment though so for those of you who can't hear it I'll save it for you. Title: Re: Simon on Radio Caroline Post by: gower flower (Shirl) on October 21, 2006, 01:31:50 PM It's cos I is a Welsh Witch, Jim 8) :o
By eck, this thread has livened up. Amusing really, as nowt is happening. And yes Jim, the DJ is a t****r :-X Title: Re: Simon on Radio Caroline Post by: Jim on October 21, 2006, 01:33:47 PM bleeding marguetita time, music varies from top to bottom
Title: Re: Simon on Radio Caroline Post by: clive on October 21, 2006, 01:36:21 PM that's better, he must be reading this.
Title: Re: Simon on Radio Caroline Post by: Anji on October 21, 2006, 01:37:10 PM Blimeyheck

Title: Re: Simon on Radio Caroline Post by: Angela on October 21, 2006, 01:38:46 PM Now if only Simon could join us on here we could have a three way conversation :o
Title: Re: Simon on Radio Caroline Post by: clive on October 21, 2006, 01:39:25 PM If you've got to go, go now.
No not you Anji. Surely he should be playing le version francais. Title: Re: Simon on Radio Caroline Post by: clive on October 21, 2006, 01:40:46 PM Simon
Give the studio a call! Title: Re: Simon on Radio Caroline Post by: Angela on October 21, 2006, 01:42:04 PM He's probably down the pub ;)
Title: Re: Simon on Radio Caroline Post by: clive on October 21, 2006, 01:42:23 PM Colin's gonna kill us, shall we go into chat?
Title: Re: Simon on Radio Caroline Post by: Angela on October 21, 2006, 01:43:33 PM I'd forgoten that existed ;D
Title: Re: Simon on Radio Caroline Post by: clive on October 21, 2006, 01:49:40 PM Anyone here got Simon's number, the dj's getting worried.
Title: Re: Simon on Radio Caroline Post by: Anji on October 21, 2006, 01:52:19 PM Is anything happening? ;D ;D (I'm not sure why I am finding this funny...but I am )
Title: Re: Simon on Radio Caroline Post by: Goaty on October 21, 2006, 01:54:40 PM Is anything happening? Simon is supposed to be calling them, the dj only has the office number and does appear to be getting a little concerned. Anyway, I don't care, I got a mention on Radio Caroline :P ;D Title: Re: Simon on Radio Caroline Post by: clive on October 21, 2006, 01:57:42 PM Can anyone here do Simon's voice?
Title: Re: Simon on Radio Caroline Post by: Anji on October 21, 2006, 01:59:55 PM [Anyway, I don't care, I got a mention on Radio Caroline :P ;D Quite right, too. You and Clive could do the interview.......in song? [;-) [;-) Title: Re: Simon on Radio Caroline Post by: Angela on October 21, 2006, 02:04:42 PM Humph...going into chat made my computer crash...I lost connection to my world :( ;)
Title: Re: Simon on Radio Caroline Post by: clive on October 21, 2006, 02:08:07 PM I thought it was something I said.
It might be a board problem, chat thinks it's 10pm Title: Re: Simon on Radio Caroline Post by: jude on October 21, 2006, 02:08:40 PM As far as I know they're flying back from Glasgow, maybe there is some problem there

Maybe the band needs a new private jet. ;D Title: Re: Simon on Radio Caroline Post by: Goaty on October 21, 2006, 03:12:32 PM Indeed. Though the dj is a bit of a ****, I've enjoyed the music selection (mostly).

Title: Re: Simon on Radio Caroline Post by: steve c on October 28, 2006, 09:00:06 AM Morning all
Don’t forget to get tuned in on sky channel 0199 or online at www.radiocaroline.co.uk for the Clive Garrard show today from noon. Clive tells me that the interview with Simon should take place around 2.30 so if anyone would like to put a question to him contact Clive at mailto:clivegarrard@radiocaroline.co.uk There will be a pair of tickets to give away on the show for Fairport Acoustic Convention's gig at Maidstone leisure centre on Friday 10th November. The competition for the tickets will run between 2pm and 2.30pm. Steve Title: Re: Simon on Radio Caroline Post by: Angela on October 28, 2006, 01:56:13 PM I'm having an even bigger problem trying to get connected this week than last, the dial up connection is temporarily out of service :(, so if there's anyone able to record this for me...are you there Ewan? :)
Title: Re: Simon on Radio Caroline Post by: Goaty on October 28, 2006, 01:58:59 PM are you there Ewan? :) I am, however my decent PC went bang last weekend and this piece of **** I'm using at the moment barely gets on the net, let alone records streamed audio, sorry. If anyone else manages to record it I'd be grateful for a copy too. Title: Re: Simon on Radio Caroline Post by: clive on October 28, 2006, 02:03:41 PM I'll have a go but it's spluttering a bit this week.
Title: Re: Simon on Radio Caroline Post by: Jan_ on October 28, 2006, 07:16:17 PM I managed to get a decent recording, so if you want to IM me, Angela and Ewan, I'll see what I can do... :)
