A show to turn even the lamest of squares into far-out foot tappers.
Over the course of the show, extreme levels of rockabilly will be pumped through the airwaves of URY, from Elvis Presley to The Big Bopper, all with the intention of providing maximum satisfaction.
The show will consist of anecdotes relating to the music in question, explorations into the popular themes and concepts of rockabilly/rock 'n' roll (such as a show dedicated to 'Death Discs'), as well as interviews with individuals who remember watching the rock 'n' roll stars of the 1950s in their heyday. Playing the big hits of the 1950s, as well as with the secret 7" golddust that's been hiding in the attic, this show will provide a roster of early rock 'n' roll and rockabilly that will make you want to turn your fringe into a quiff, your Volkswagen into a Cadillac, and your Carling into a Cherry Coke.
It's summer 1975. You've got your flares on and a Harvey Wallbanger in hand. The boombox has just been invented and somehow your mate David has copped one. Van Morrison is blaring. No one knows what drum and bass is. Life is good.
Bringing you all the best bops from before Britney took over - pre 90s tunes only. Join Jen and Hannah in the golden age of rock n roll, with some spicy disco curveballs thrown in for a good time.
This one's cursed
Join me, Colin, as I bang out some classic bops, old and new. All the songs you know and love plus a couple you might not have heard of.
Get involved and send in your requests and we might just play it on air!
Get through the day with the help of some great tunes, join me on URY, Tuesdays at 3pm.
In the wilds of Campus West lurks a secret: mor illusive than the black Swan; more prestigious than long boi; more sought after than the Alcuin Cat. The No Eye Deer (not to be confused with the slightly more useful Show Eye Deer) is somewhere, and we're determined to lure it out by singing along to bops and hoping the mics are off whilst we do it!
