NOT The Drystone Stage 2013
Life has just been so bloody complicated recently. this has resulted in my having to put what should ideally be at least two blog posts into one. Hopefully the skill and quality of the writing will easily brush over any cracks that the hastiness of this verbal cobbling caused. First of all the podcast and it’s all important track listing. Derek Ashong and Soulfege – Another Day Stuart Forrester – Gitonyosse Biggles Wartime Band – And Then She Kicked Me Your Average Savages – Feeling Bad Blue Wallpaper Inc – Funky Patch Kelly – St James Infirmary Calum Read – Continue reading NOT The Drystone Stage 2013→The post NOT The Drystone Stage 2013 appeared first on Alan Whittaker is The Wizardmarra.Related posts:WIZARDMARRAS DRYSTONE WIRELESS SHOW REVIEW OF 2008 WIZARDMARRAS DRYSTONE WIRELESS SHOW 7.

Who Needs A Pyramid!!? (when you have a Melodrome or a Barn)
Here we are just a little later than intended, but I held fire on so I could combine acts from Off The Tracks with those from The Dock of the Bay minifest (the second smallest festival in the world, I have no idea which one is the smallest) and that Laurence my esteemed webmaster and I have been uploading all my podcast from past years since I started putting them together in 2008 (I’ve also enjoyed listening to them again myself, there is a hell of a lot of good stuff on there) you can find them all here.

All things must pass… Introducing Wizardmarras Wireless Show
I decided it was time for a small change and so the podcast is no longer Wizardmarras Drystone Wireless Show merely Wizardmarras Wireless Show. I thought it was high time I ditched the Drystone altogether, no use hanging on to past glories that no longer have any relevance to the here and now. This also marks the first podcast episode and the first blog that can be accessed directly from wizardmarra.com, they’ll still be available from podmatic and blogger for the time being but in a month or two when any bugs that may surface have been ironed by my Continue reading All things must pass… Introducing Wizardmarras Wireless Show→The post All things must pass… Introducing Wizardmarras Wireless Show appeared first on Alan Whittaker is The Wizardmarra.Related posts:WIZARDMARRAS DRYSTONE WIRELESS SHOW WIZARDMARRAS DRYSTONE WIRELESS SHOW REVIEW OF 2008 WIZARDMARRAS DRYSTONE WIRELESS SHOW 4 – HELLO WORLD

THE JOURNAL OF BILLY NO MATES
That’s what some would say as I sit here on my own while my good Ladymarra is partying on down at Solfest. Perhaps it is, but I don’t think so and I’m not entirely on my own as my good friend Jose is by my side and Snr Cuervo is such good fun, I may get philosophical or have a rant later, but for now it’s time for the annual fun that is Podcast…… ……and here it is! I had a LOT of fun putting it together and it enabled me to play some tracks by good people who I’ve Continue reading THE JOURNAL OF BILLY NO MATES→The post THE JOURNAL OF BILLY NO MATES appeared first on Alan Whittaker is The Wizardmarra.Related posts:NOT The Drystone Stage 2013 SQUIRRELKICKER COMING AROUND AGAIN…

SQUIRRELKICKER
OK, Here it is the first NUTS IN MAY SPECIAL podcast. Not every track on it is by someone appearing at the festival but I’ll tell you here who they are and in every subsequent podcast there will be more as they are announced. By the time the next one goes up the website for the festival will be fully up and running and not the “holding page” that you’ll see at present. Anyhow, here’s the running order for the current podcast… THE BOAT BAND – CUMBERLAND REEL THE POLYJESTERS – THOMAS BUILDER MISHAPED PEARLS – ODI EL AMO ACHISA Continue reading SQUIRRELKICKER→The post SQUIRRELKICKER appeared first on Alan Whittaker is The Wizardmarra.Related posts:A FANTASY LINE UP FROM A SAD OLD MAN WIZARDMARRAS DRYSTONE WIRELESS SHOW 7.

FROM PEDALS TO PODCAST
Well as it’s high time I got this blog and my podcast updated I can’t have a better reason to do so than commemorate the 4th annual Spinners Arms sponsored cycle ride for Cancer Research and both the blog and the podcast are dedicated to this. As well as dedicating this and the podcast to all my fellow riders I must say a huge, Huge, HUGE HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who sponsored me. I raised £175 (I’m still waiting for £15 you know who you are!) and I’ve learned from a visit to the Spinners and this why a Continue reading FROM PEDALS TO PODCAST→The post FROM PEDALS TO PODCAST appeared first on Alan Whittaker is The Wizardmarra.Related posts:THE BIG NUMBER TWO (Podcast that is) UNTIL THE NEW PODCAST…….

COMING AROUND AGAIN…
The ongoing tale of one mans life caught up in a “groundhog day” of festival preparation and execution… Read on… Well it’s that time of year again. So it’s time I wrote one of my accounts of how things are doing, who’s doing then and for a bit of spice, who’s doing it to whom. It’s odd though as I feel I’m watching the festival develop from afar, taking a back seat on the scary rollercoaster this year and yet still doing all the stuff I usually do. Although I have to say that I’m getting lot of help You Continue reading COMING AROUND AGAIN…→The post COMING AROUND AGAIN… appeared first on Alan Whittaker is The Wizardmarra.Related posts:BACK ONLINE WITH THE WIRELESS SHOW A FANTASY LINE UP FROM A SAD OLD MAN SQUIRRELKICKER

BACK ONLINE WITH THE WIRELESS SHOW
WIZARDMARRAS DRYSTONE WIRELESS SHOW 2010 NUMBER 1 Well, after a year of my podcast being offline it is such a good feeling to put one out there at last particularly so as its jam packed full of Drystone acts for this year’s forthcoming festival, with one exception and more about that in due course. I’m not actually going to say much about the tracks in this podcast as I’ll be talking more about some of them in later blog when they are officially announced as Drystone acts and some of the featured artists have already been mentioned in previous blogs.

WIZARDMARRAS DRYSTONE WIRELESS SHOW REVIEW OF 2008
Yeah I know I should have had this one up a week or two (or three or four) ago. But sometimes life gets in the way of doing what you’d like to do. Anyway it here it is at last WIZARDMARRAS DRYSTONE WIRELESS SHOW REVIEW OF 2008 Some of the tracks have been on the podcast already but as the casts in question have been taken off line it’s good opportunity to play some of my favourites from last year, some of the tracks are new ones but from artists that I really like and in the case of one Continue reading WIZARDMARRAS DRYSTONE WIRELESS SHOW REVIEW OF 2008→The post WIZARDMARRAS DRYSTONE WIRELESS SHOW REVIEW OF 2008 appeared first on Alan Whittaker is The Wizardmarra.Related posts:WIZARDMARRAS DRYSTONE WIRELESS SHOW 7.

WIZARDMARRA’S DRYSTONE WIRELESS SHOW No:7 There’s fella with a BIG NOSE on it! Well my friends far too long has gone by since I last posted one of these, so I have decided that straight after this podcast I’m going to sort another straight away in the manner of a CHRISTMAS CLIP SHOW. That is put the best tracks from all my previous casts in one BIG BUMPER CHRISTMAS NUMBER with some cleverly crafted new linking material. But enough of that for we’ve just got a NEW one up and lets get right down to telling all about the fantastic Continue reading WIZARDMARRAS DRYSTONE WIRELESS SHOW 7.

BUBBLES
WIZARDMARRAS DRYSTONE WIRELESS SHOW 6 BUBBLES Well here it is after too long an absence for which I apologize, preparation for Solfest took more of my time than I’d expected (of which I should have been aware, Solfest always takes more time than I allow for) and post festival. Well one tends to get knackered during the weekend and there is always period of brain death were I just don’t want to do a thing. But getting grips with myself and putting onto the net edition 6 of the wireless show has done me a power of good and it Continue reading BUBBLES→The post BUBBLES appeared first on Alan Whittaker is The Wizardmarra.Related posts:WIZARDMARRAS DRYSTONE WIRELESS SHOW WIZARDMARRAS DRYSTONE WIRELESS SHOW 4 – HELLO WORLD THE BIG NUMBER TWO (Podcast that is)

THE ONE ON THE SLATE
WIZARDMARRAS DRYSTONE WIRELESS SHOW 5 THE ONE ON THE SLATE The penultimate podcast before Solfest! Kicking off with my latest piece of sequenced nonsense, “The Lonely Dancer” ’nuff said. It then kicks into a brilliant track by the first official booking for Solfest 2009 a terrific Irish band by the name of BUSHPLANT. “Go Make Somebody Happy Here.” myspace.com/bushplant Who got in touch with me via MySpace and have just played by all accounts a cracking set at Hawkfest. They are a truly hi energy band and you’ll have to wait an eternal 13 months before you get to see Continue reading THE ONE ON THE SLATE→The post THE ONE ON THE SLATE appeared first on Alan Whittaker is The Wizardmarra.Related posts:WIZARDMARRAS DRYSTONE WIRELESS SHOW REVIEW OF 2008 THE ONE WITH THE BIG ROCK WIZARDMARRAS DRYSTONE WIRELESS SHOW
