SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT – DIGITAL BLUES
Please note that with effect from the end of January 2021, podcasts of Digital Blues’ weekly shows which air 15 times a week on 8 stations around the world, will no longer be available via PodOmatic or iTunes 다운로드.
The main reason for this change is that I have recently come to understand that neither PodOmatic nor iTunes pay any royalties to artists featured which is something that Mixcloud proudly do 아크 서바이벌 다운로드.
It seems only right, therefore, that I repay the generous support Digital Blues receives from artists, record labels etc 무한도전 레옹 다운로드. by seeking to ensure the payment of royalties, however, small they may be, in respect of the music I play.
I cannot deny that it there is also an element of cost saving involved as my annual subscription to PodOmatic which is a few cents short of $300.00 per annum which comes totally out of my pocket.
In addition to the 15 opportunities per week to listen to the show on one of the stations that carry it – details here https://www.digitalblues.co.uk/?page_id=29, you will still be able to listen via Mixcloud – https://www.mixcloud.com/DigitalBlues/and also via the listen again facility at https://www.gateway978.com/listen-again
I hope you will continue to listen to Digital Blues and to enjoy the eclectic and genre busting selection of music I play. Thank you for your support, both in the past and, I hope, in the future.

Hi Ashwyn
Good to see you have got the new site up and running.
Will you be having a page where venues can advertise their gigs in the same way as you did on the old site?
Have a good Christmas

MARK BUTCHER BAND
Just to say this gig featuring Mark Butcher is hopefully the first of a regular monthly ‘blues’ nights at Crawley Football Club, Sussex, so any help, advice or suggestions regarding publicity would be much appreciated. As ever, it’s hardly a money making exercise, merely an attempt to add to the circuit for everyones benefit!

What a spectacular looking site, one of the best around! nice work! Thanks for all the many years of recognizing and spinning voodoohead productions artists Ashwyn, and also for assisting me in pitching new music through your excellent program. You have been extremely helpful in getting good blues music happening for everyone I work with, from Summer and the Sinners to the bluevoodoo and new artists the harpoonist and axe murderer and Sean Poluk, cheers and continued success!bryon
Thank you Bryon for your kind words. Greatly appreciated.
Hi Ashwyn
Love the new site and the radio shows. There’s not enough hours in the day to listen to what I want to listen to. I notice Ian Perkins asked about blues venues in the Colchester area. The Bull is a good venue and I believe the fabulous Joel Fisk has a jam night there.
Thanks Mike!
Believe me, even in retirement theer are never enough hours!
Thanks for the details of the Bull

Hi Ashwny,
Really enjoy your shows thanks but the audio quality on the podomatic listen again is really poor. The signal seems to fade. I realise bandwith costs but I find it too poor to listen to at times.
Thanks.
Henry.
Hi Henry,
Thank you for your kind comments.
I am sorry that you are having quality problems listening via PodOmatic. I am not sure what to suggest.
Certainly I do not think it is a bandwicth problem as I have bought a package which provides me with plenty.
I am listening to the latest show on PodOmatic at present with no problems.
I also have many listeners who tune in via i-Tunes which uses the PodOmatic feed and none of them are experiencing problems as far as I am aware.
So I can only apologise and suggest that you might like to try listening via i-tunes as an alternative.
Thanks for getting in touch and I hope you keep enjoying the shows.
Ashwyn
Hi Aschwyn,
Thanks sooooooooooo much for playing He’s Gonna Step On You Again last night on your radio show. Kudos to you for recognizing that we’re not blues purists and therefore have no qualms about adding a blues touch to an old John Kongos tune from 1971. Howzabout a review of our album on your website?
Thanks,
Mike, singer/guitarist/frontman/songwriter for Mike & the Mellotones
I have added the Crawdaddy Club to my new website entertainment guide http:\\www.whatsoninsouthend.com and by the end of the week there will also be http:\\www.whatsoninbasildon.com the Whats On In (WoiUK.Ltd) guides will eventually cover the Essex and East Anglia region check it out!.
Hello from Canada Ashwyn!
Just wanted to send out my thanks for playing a track from my new record “Kiss the City” on Wednesday. There were loads of people in Canada listening and everyone that I’ve spoken to enjoyed the show in it’s entirety. Knowing that it’s “sitting on the edge of the blues spectrum”, I really appreciate that you went on that edge. Looking forward to tuning in again..
Matty Powell
Thanks Matty,
I am enjoying your CD even though it is not strictly blues!
Hi Ashwyn, just thought I’d let you know that we are still running our monthly blues session (after all these years!) here in Southminster. Can’t see a gig guide on the site at the moment, but perhaps I’m just looking in the wrong place!
We have John Crampton playing here tomorrow night,assuming he can get to us through the snow, whom I first heard at that excellent blues festival you ran at Hutton all those years ago.
Please let me know if there is a facility for posting forthcoming gigs on your site.
Regards, Martin, Station Arms Southminster.
Hey…I’d love for you guys to check out my book….over 100 photos I took between 1969 and 1983 of Muddy, Wolf, Hooker, Thorogood, the Stones, Hound Dog Taylor, Johnny Winter, Big Walter, Freddie King, Taj Mahal, Koko Taylor and more in the years when I was writing my Grammy winning music with Muddy Waters. Fun tales and the website has links to cool music and vid so turn up your speakers.
Thanks and keep on Rockin’. Also, check the In the Belly of the Blues FB page.
