Now, I don't know (and I can't remember seeing) if this thread I wanna start up is allowed, if not, please do feel free to delete,
I wanted to post my Radio show, updates, links to latest shows, show fliers etc.
I wanted to start my own thread and not hijack anyone elses and also didnt want to spam all over the place.
It does fall under the remit of self-promotion.
Once again if this is verboten, I truly understand and would not take offence to removal.

THAT SAID

Back ground.

I broadcast a 1950's rock and roll show, which includes, R&B. swing, gospel, some 50-60's souly type late R&R, I'm not supposed to play too many hits, hence why my show is after midnight as I dont have to LIST my playlist, I also have to play a lot of Canadian content. But you will here Ricky Nelson , Elvis as well.

We come out of the University of Guelph and we are a student radio station, which has a range of approx 25km but access via internet and ability to listen to archived shows.

Currently, I pre-record my shows at home and it's rebroadcast on the night, it's about a 45min drive to Guelph from my house and I get home around 2, plus gas (we don't get paid, its considered volunteer work) But I do go int every month as there's nothing like broadcasting from a live studio.

I've been doing radio since I was 16, (Pirate, hospital and student), never made it big, so se la vie !

Happily will take requests/dedications (in advance)
 
SO why are you called Adrian JAYE

Back in the 80's a lot of hip hop DJ's used a letter, ERIC B, DEREK B , SPOONIE G, so I went by the name of Adrian J.
as I was in pirate, some anonymity was important.

But on fliers people kept putting Adrian Jay and I kept saying, NO it's just J as in the initial.

In the end I added an E and so Adrian Jaye was born.

My DJ company is called Playback, due to a SPELLING mistake. I was thinking of a name for a gig on a flier
you know... "XYZ productions presents Adrian J" and at the time I loved James Brown, and a floorfiller for me was the PAYBACK mix
So I went to a printer and on the flier I put "Payback Promotions presents Adrian J." I kept telling them make sure you just put J, not Jay
fine.. went to pick up the fliers and guy said, oh we corrected your spelling mistake, PLAYBACK

I said, nononono its PAYBACK, now there were going to correct it, but my gig was like 1 week away and I had to get the fliers out so I stuck with Playback,
which my roadie said, "actually PLAYBACK" makes more sense.. so...............
