The original Radio 4 concept is simple…

“Guests are invited to imagine themselves cast away on a desert island, and choose eight recordings, originally gramophone records, to take with them; discussion of their choices permits a review of their life”

Our spin on "Desert Island Discs" held Bi Monthly at the Ruin in Birmingham's Digbeth district.

So What is it all about?

We want to stay as true to the Radio 4 concept as possible. We want you to share and play those personal 8 records in a cozy, lazy saturday afternoon bar setting to like minded people. Tracks that you cherish, mean a lot to you and that you can listen to over and over and over again, whatever genre, its up yo you!

The format on the day is something like this,

Things kick off at 12pm with an "album of the day". This will be a current / classic album and played in its entirety. Following this "Our Friends are Eclectic" will bring a chilled out lazy vibe before "Desert Island Discs" kicks off at 2pm until about 6-30pm with "Our Friends are Eclectic" bringing it all to a close for 8pm

We put on 5 “Castaways” per session. The Castaways will be a mix of DJ’s and Non DJ’s. What we are trying to achieve is that the music is as varied as possible and that everyone who wants to get involved will get to share thier 8, DJ or not...There is no disctintion here!

Anyway, this mix is an example of the afternoon vibe that we are trying to create ahead of the "castaways" sharing their treasured 8 Desert Island Discs.

Have a listen, if you like what you hear share and spread the word and get involved.

ENJOY

xx
