    Default Early Music Radio

    I was introduced yesterday to this streaming 'radio' service:

    http://www.earlymusicradio.co.uk/10.html

    Uninterrupted early music, with occasional poetry of the times... Great and wide-ranging selection of music, anything from Machaut to HIPP Beethoven, with a healthy sprinkling of shawms and psalteries and what not else.

    Beautiful sound too

    I did a search as well, I assumed others must have got there first!! But couldn't find it...

    Oh well: so good they had to plug it twice

    Good stuff, Calibs!

    Oddly, I find the lack of all announcements to make the music sound a bit ... relentless

    But then I'm a TTN fan

    I know what you mean about the lack of announcements. Still, good to have on in the background, as you busy yourself in the kitchen for example...

    You all have the returned prodigal rubbernecker to thank for it - he told me about the station over lunch yesterday

    I should have told you there was a previous thread about it.

    The sound is superb, and I love that it was set up by a surveyor in Stevenage and is completely free. It's frustrating sometimes when the online playlist is 'down' and you can't find out what you heard. However, it is the perfect aural wallpaper.

    Surely better than the 75% chat we get on some R3 programmes? Someone called Benedict Allem spent so much time stumbling over his words and umming and err-ing on Essential Classics today....ooops, I've admitted listening to it!

    Great idea, Cali, but the workplace computer doesnt seem to want to play it or download any device that will.

    C'est la vie!
