With 50th birthday celebrations underway, we are joined by alumni from the years of URY past to round of our weekend of celebration with a garden party OB.
Back in the early 2000s, DAB services were struggling to launch across the UK. Spare capacity on the Muxes had to be filled with something... So... It was filled with the best radio station ever to be broadcast in the UK. With a cultlike following, "Birdsong", the looped recording of birds singing gaily was recorded in the garden of then Digital One chairman Quentin Howard. It achieved a cult following from people who found it much more interesting to listen to than Jazz FM.
I can't play you that recording... Because I don't own the copyright and can't be bothered to email someone to get it. What I can do, is every Wednesday morning for 2 hours, set up my microphones in a wood, park or centre of town and well... Send you live audio of... That... You could just open a window... But get real here... You're not going to do that are you....
