Gold on DAB is the place to be.

Can't get it in Cumbria.
Anyone wants country music easy listening (not Trog!) tune into Braithwaite's Country on freeview ch 121
Sunday eves 7-9. Radio Cumbria.

 

[Black Hole]

I'm not aware of having spotted Gold on the DAB tuning dial either.

 

[Trev]

Perhaps it's a south-east UK thing.

 

[trog]

I'll take that and chuck in a very depressing Coldplay.

They are positively upbeat compared to Leonard Cohen, all his albums should come with a noose or razor blade.

Really? isnt that like signing up for a Co-op funeral plan or sitting at bus stops discussing your ailments with old ladies?

 

[MontysEvilTwin]

Gold is carried on the local DAB multiplexes so it is patchy. It is not on the Oxford multiplex but is on the Swindon one (which I can receive in Oxford). It is also on DAB in and around Birmingham. You can get it on Tune-In and other internet radio applications: search for Gold London.
Re. Trog's post: it is a bit like that, but at least you won't hear Ed F****** Sheeran. I am amazed that a thread about overrated musicians has got this far without mentioning him!

Elvis Presley after 1960.

 

[gomezz]

David Bowie after 1974.

David Bowie after 1974.

Already in post #1 but really anytime after he was born.

 

[trog]

Demis Roussos , his voice always reminded me of the Goons.

 

[Black Hole]

Michael Ball (why the hell did Alfie Boe team up with him? Chalk & cheese!).

 

[RobH1]

Not many females mentioned yet so I'll weigh in with Bette Midler and a repeat of Chrissie Hynde, grrrr.

 

[Black Hole]

I'll raise you that girl on the Tui advert

The actress is Bethany Slater, and she’s a model, actress, and dancer. Slater doesn’t actually sing the song herself, but mimes the track which was sung by Leeds-based singer Alice Higgins.

My word, have you been studying Trev?
Wasn't Alice Higgins a snooker player?

 

[Black Hole]

Now you mention it, snooker seems to be a sport women haven't made much inroads into.

Michaela Tabb

 

[EEPhil]

That was as a referee not a player. And she's given that up.

 

[RobH1]

Diana Ross
Sinaed O'Connor
Chrissie Hynde (3rd time)

 

[Black Hole]

I didn't know any of them were into snooker
