It’s too early for Pre-drinking, meaning we’re not nearly ready enough to say the glorious word “prinking” – unless of course, you decide to join us! Stef and Taz, your radio buddies readying you up for Prink O’clock, when you’re getting ready to take out the voddy and leave your dignity at home. Whether you’re Fresher’s like us, or you want to return to ‘Fresher’ days, we will be broadcasting music that takes you down Memory Lane and tracks that psyche you up for one of York’s Best Student Nights!
Record Store Day was conceived in 2007 at a gathering of independent record store owners and employees as a way to celebrate and spread the word about the unique culture surrounding nearly 1400 independently owned record stores in the US and thousands of similar stores internationally. The first Record Store Day took place on April 19, 2008. Today there are Record Store Day participating stores on every continent except Antarctica.
This is a day for the people who make up the world of the record store to come together and celebrate the unique culture and the special role these independently owned stores play in their communities.
Come down in front of Courtyard to see our landmark Technics turntables spinning and take a look at some of URY's extensive record collection, you'll also get a chance to talk to music team members, learn about what we do and who knows? Join us.
If Mr Motivator can make a surprise comeback to airwaves in these interesting times... so can Retrospectre! Yes, it's that URY show from the early 2010s with that person that said those words and played those songs. Join Matt 'Not Stratford' Windsor from the comfort of their inadequately acoustically designed bedroom in North Yorkshire as they haunt URY like the spectre of leftist political ideology with choice cuts from the 80s, 70s, and the 80s again, while complaining about nearly being 30.
Term 1 has flown by and we haven't done enough radio! So we're cramming this in at the last minute (much like all of our coursework).
Christmas is indeed nearly upon us and you may already be bored to death of the same old Christmas pop songs in the supermarket, but never fear, we're here to bring you some of the more unusual, fun, and just darn weird Christmassy music available to us.
It's that time of the year again - there'll be one stall giving out bags for some reason, so make sure you grab the bag for all the other random freebies you get from stalls you pretend to be interested in just to get the pens.
Freshers' Fair 2021 is nearly upon us - join me as we build up to it with some great music and chat!
The year is nearly over! Have a midafternoon chill with William King as he turns up the retro.
Its the end of the semester, and (nearly) the end of our time here in York! So whether you're walking, driving, or taking the train home, join URY's award-winning (silver counts) presenting duo for one final hour of pop hits, adequate chats, and jokes only Joe finds funny #endofanera.
It's nearly the end of the week and we have a lot of life to debate.
Tune in for Jen's wiggly, winding tour of music from the last 300 years (I draw the line at Baroque). Not chronologically accurate, probably not historically accurate, but hopefully entertaining! With all the expertise of a nearly-finished music degree and a lifetime of listening to very old music, expect an hour of chat, tunes, and some chat about these tunes.
We're nearly finished for the term
