SHOW NEWS

Pipes and Paella has been replaced by a new programme Hot Pipes!, a one hour theatre organ show running Wednesdays from 21:00 to 22:00. This will be international rather than local in character, with new CD reviews (not critical, just factual, along with purchasing info), a section of older recordings from the LP era and before, and any news of importance that reaches me here in Spain. There'll also be an occasional concert or electronic organ track. I'll also include some concert dates if the various chapters and organisers inform me in time, and I'll be monitoring the theatre organ chat forums, of course.

I currently broadcast two shows a week on Valle Radio, transmitting from the Albox area of Almeria, Spain. This site is for those who wish to listen to the shows over the Internet but cannot 'tune in' at the broadcast time.
