DIGITAL BLUES RADIO

The story so far!!

Digital Blues has been described as the voice of the Blues for Essex and between June 2001 and June 2006, we were producing internet radio shows and then FM shows on a South Essex based radio station featuring great new releases, many from artists receiving their first radio airplay anywhere in the World, as well as tracks both ancient & modern. In particular we provided exposure and radio play for Essex based bands and artists, often featuring live performances as well as publicising local gigs and venues.

Digital Blues also presented The Blues Banquet, a live, weekly feast of blues & real r'n'b featuring studio guests playing live on two RSLs for a Basildon based radio station during this period.

In March 2006, programmes lbecame available as Podcasts.

Unfortunately from June 2006 Digital Blues ceased to have an FM presence. 

Playlists for all the past programmes are on the playlist pages here on the Digital Blues site.

Early in 2009, Digital Blues was approached by IndieTalent.ca, a well respected and burgeoning Toronto based internet radio station, and asked to produce and present periodic shows for them featuring the best of indie blues talent from around the World.

The programme is available to listen to hereand you can see details of the playlist here.

From October 2009, a new programme, Digital Blues Gateway, is broadcast each Wednesday between 8 & 10 p.m. UK time on Gateway FM, Community Radio for Basildon & East Thurrock and you can listen here with playlists available here. In February 2010, GatewayFM won a full time licence and will be back on FM later in the year. The internet service continues.

In March 2010, Digital Blues started producing a weekly edition of Digital Blues for Kansas City Online Radio and this is streamed at 11.00 a.m. CDT (Central US Daylight Time) every Sunday at www.kconlineradio.com  The playlist for each show is published here.

The show is repeated at 20.00 CDST Monday (02.00 BST Tuesday), 11.00 CDST (17.00 BST) on Wednesday, 03.00 CDST (09.00 BST) on Thursdays and 14.00 CDST (20.00 BST) Fridays.

Digital Blues is delighted to be back broadcasting, giving well deserved exposure to some of the great unsung talent that is out there.
