The days when the lute ruled

Tomorrow Sunday 6th November 2022 from 2300 UTC on 9395 kHz shortwave there will be another episode of WREN in a renaissance style. The hour long show will include tunes with “harmony that places a greater concern on the smooth flow of the music and its progression of chords.”

There’s another mix in a renaissance style from One Deck Pete at 17 minutes in featuring: Beyond the Wizards Sleeve, Deega, O.G. Jigg and Baroque Baroque. Tune in and enjoy another journey back to the time when the lute was all over the musical charts.

Good vibes on a Friday night

Whilst researching a shortwave radio mix for the Imaginary station WREN – Renaissance Radio we came across Memotone out of Bristol on Bandcamp. There was some great music on there including a haunting track from a chap called O.G. Jigg (Willl Yates/Half Nelson/Memotone) called Earth MemoriesOn the shortwave mix we went for the 0808 version which like the original is short and sweet but oh what a tune! One to listen to while doing a windmill on a sheet of lino on the top of Maiden Castle upon a solstice eve.
