Hot Pipes! is back in production!! After much work to process a stack of old recordings into the digital realm, I'm now producing the programme on a minimum monthly basis. I hope to be able to make two shows per month - let's see how this pans out.

Show 30 is the last Rhythm Is My Business in the series. It has been with considerable reluctance that I have decided to cease broadcasting on Sunshine-FM, as an advertiser to replace my original sponsor could not be found. I will continue to seek other stations and sponsors for this unique radio show so that it can continue.

16th March, 2012

I have changed hosting provider again for various technical reasons. Should you find any pages or links that don't work, please do let me know! The change should be completely 'transparent', but technology and human error being what it is...
