Debut Shows, Tall Cool Ones, Pods, and Swedes

Hello Zoneheads,
I trust we find you in fine form this weekend.

Well, whilst our Mr Reece settles into an all expenses paid Courier type affair courtesy of his Radio buddies and bathes in the luxury of a Suite overlooking Stockholm Harbour (lucky devil - not a room, but a SUITE !!!!), we efficiently press on here at AZ Towers, with news of Debut Programmes, more on the Pod, and this Weekends Playlists for you too.

I spoke to the Scotsman late yesterday evening, and he can stay in Stockholm until Sunday evening if he wishes, although he is considering coming back today, Saturday, such is the backlog of work piling up, after all, a week of 'Live' Radio in Slovakia too has meant we all have to catch up on a few things back at base.
If I was him, I'd stay there for the full experience and come back as late as possible !
But, we'll see if he wanders in here to AZ Towers later today, or not.

In the meantime, he has left me with News and plenty of AZ things for you, so here goes...



Firstly, we are all delighted as our very own AZ Pixie, namely, Katrine, returns with her 4th Programme for The Album Zone.
This is not due to be aired worldwide until the 14th of October, but the powers that be have decided that it's such an excellent show that we simply must put it on the Pod early.
So, for your delectation, the new Katrine Show will be on the Pod, on Sunday, 1st October, as a sneak advance preview for you all...

Check it out ! You know where to find it...

----------------------------------------------

Ah, a new recruit !
We welcome Barry De Foyle to The Album Zone, as his 1st Programme airs for us tonight, Saturday 30th September, via www.rti.fm, and on Sky 0195 (and various AM and FM European frequencies) at 21.00 hrs (UK time) tonight. Barry's debut will also appear on our Pod, tomorrow, 1st October.


The return of Johnny Reece - Sunday Night from AZ Towers :
Our well travelled Scotsman will be back in his usual spot, at Sundays 20.00 hrs (UK time) via RTI and Sky.
Once again, this too will be on our Pod, as of late Sunday evening.
Expect lots of tales from Slovakia !!!

Welcome back too, to the Tall Cool One, as Gil Legine returns to the Zone.
His brand new show will be on our Pod, as of late Sunday evening.

So, there we have it - 4 new Programmes for you to freshen up the Pod by tomorrow - oh, and there's more to come, very shortly.

Am I a courier or what ?

By the time you read this, I will be in Stockholm.
Ermm, what's going on ?

No, not a Slovak thing, or an RTI thing.
Yeah, Radio-related, but just some colleagues who desperately need some documents signed in an 'in person on behalf of' type of way, as apparently emails or faxes or using the likes of DHL just won't do. They need real signatures - by the end of the weekend.
They need it done today. Who did they think of ? Me !
All paid for of course - although at this point, as I am writing this, I have no idea whether I will be there for 2 hours, 1 day, or 2 days. I will find out shortly ! It could be just a quick turnaround, but naturally, I hope not.

Friday night to Sunday night, with a couple of nights stay at a luxury hotel on their bill, would suit me just fine, thank you very much...
As I need to be back at work on Monday, I really, really hope to stretch their expenses there until Sunday night. Wonder if they'd let me do that ? I'll try !!!
This will put the AZ work back a day or so, but I would catch up with that, in the evenings next week. I just hope I'm not too tired to enjoy the short trip - I'm still recovering from Slovakia !!!

Johnny Reece

Oh, that all rushed by, far, far too quickly...

That was the week, that was.
How come it rushed by so quickly ? That really is a tad unfair.
So, here I am, back at AZ Towers in London, many thoughts of Slovakia going round my head.
It was one of those 'thinking back' days today, I guess it had to be.
There is only one way to start the day as far as I am concerned, and that is sitting out in the sunshine on the little terrace at Caffe-Time, a fab little place - in fact the RTI Studios are directly above it.
Endless sunny days of around 28 degrees usually began here, with a glass of crystal clear iced water and a wonderful coffee, made and served up by the ever delicious Petra, above.
Now, that's a perfect start to the day.

I thoroughly enjoyed doing the shows over the past week, and to have that immediate interaction was such fun, after all, it had been a while since I had done 'live' radio.
My eternal thanks to my hosts - Eric and Martina - who looked after me so well.
And all the staff at RTI are an amazing group of people.
But, this is true of the Slovak people as a whole too, all very welcoming and friendly.
I cannot wait to go back.

I did a fair amount of people-watching in the town centre yesterday. You can learn a lot by doing that.
There were many, many happy faces, a good atmosphere all round - and that is something often missing from big city living these days. And the town, all over, was immaculate. Litter ? Doesn't happen.
And you know, it was something I did not notice whilst I was there - it only struck me when I returned to London today, and suddenly the massive difference hit me.
Over the week, many streets, shops, places, all became familiar to me, but in a very comfortable way, which was quite unexpected. I felt very much at home.
My thanks to all I met, for making my stay such a hugely enjoyable one.

Art Galleries, Slovakian Bands, and a 4 Hour Show...

Hello all,
it's the early hours of a Tuesday morning, and what a busy day it was, on Monday.
Nicely busy though.
I spent a lovely part of the day in the company of the lovely Majka, lead singer of a local Slovakian Rock Band, called Bluecat.
Needless to say, some Bluecat music will of course find it's way onto AZ Programmes shortly.
Their website is at www.bluecat.sk.

A greater part was spent in a local Art Gallery where she works, daytimes, which contained many excellent pieces of work and some fabulous photographs.
The gallery itself is housed in an old, now unused Power Station building - so it is a huge space.
More about the Gallery, in a Blog I will do when I return to London.

On to tonights Show, which was fun, although a reasonably tiring 4 hour 'Live' stint.
Nice to speak to the usual suspects, plus some new Slovak listeners who contacted me for the first time. We had some fun, running a few competitions, and the like.
I spoke to Ezio on air, and chatted all about the new Album, Tour, Gigs, and just about everything else. Great fun.
Later, I called up Zoe (Punkbaby !) at home, and we had a chat on air about future Pogo Sessions Programmes, and of course did an obscene amount of plugging for The Album Zone.

It is so nice to do 'Live' Shows again, though I will be the first to admit that it took me 3 nights to get used to a totally unfamiliar Studio. Once in my stride, I had a wonderful time, and now, I suddenly don't feel like going home.
Ironically, Eric (The Boss !) wanted me out here for a lot longer, but work calls, and I must return to London, on Wednesday. But, I will attempt a quick return to Poprad, if at all possible.

I will be on air at RTI for just 1 hour on Tuesday night, at 20.00 CET, will and return to the UK on Wednesday afternoon.
Thank-you to the regular Zoneheads for all the calls, texts, skypes etc, to the Programmes.
So good that you have been tuning in, every single night that I have been away.
Thank you !

Johnny Reece

Medicinal things like Mountains, Bananas and Chocolate

Hello Zoneheads,

and thank-you for your messages of 'get well soon' and 'oh no, not that bloody sinus thing again' !
Saturday night was a real no-no, as far as doing a Show was concerned. Such was the situation that I genuinely feared I would be heading home, with no more shows. But no, a cure, for the moment, was found. Permanent ? Well, I don't think so, but today was a minor miracle in terms of feeling ok - thanks to the care and attention of good friends old and new, including Eric and Martina, who have looked after me, and today, took me on a trip up into the mountains, oh, I tell you, the clean air !

A brisk, well, very long walk, a fabulous dinner, some good ol' Slovak medicine, and chocolate covered banana (!!!) and I felt a lot better and bounded into the Studio at just after 21.00 hours CET, to do my usual Sunday spot, though this time 'Live', of course.
Oh sure, a few sinus twinges and dizziness come back and forth, as expected, but absolutely nothing like yesterday, when I just wanted to curl up and hide away, it was so bad.
Tonight, I wanted to play records loudly. A lot.

And thanks to those of you - you know who you are - for your messages, and all the calls, Skypes, and SMS's that came into the Studio tonight. Marvellous fun.
I'm hoping to feel ok for Monday evening - in fact I'd better, as it's a 4 hour one, beginning at 21.00 CET.
As for Blogs, there's now an RTI one too - do check it out.

It's at radiotatrasinternational.blogspot.com, loads of pics, and don't forget youtube.com, where you can put 'radio rti' into the search box and find all sorts of goodies on video. Go for it !

Johnny Reece

'Live' Show tonight, Sunday, 21.10 hrs CET approx

UPDATE :
The Johnny Reece Show will be broadcast 'Live' from RTI Poprad, at approx 21.10 hrs CET (20.10 UK) this evening, Sunday 24th September...

Johnny Reece taken ill in Slovakia

Hello to you all - Steve Lloyd reporting this time.

Not great news, as we report that Johnny Reece has been taken ill whilst in Slovakia.
Yes, for those that know the history - you guessed it - Sinusitis - although this time it is really quite severe. It was 'hinting' at an attack the last few days, but was kept at bay.
That was, until yesterday. Quite how Johnny managed to do the 'smooch' Show on Friday night is really anyone's guess.
There was going to be an extra 'Live' Show from Johnny tonight, Saturday, but that had to be shelved, as was the trip to Poland he was looking forward to so much.
We wish him well.
Tomorrow, Sunday, he is due to be a VIP guest at the next home match of the local football team, FK Poprad, at 15.00 hours local time.
Obviously, we're unsure whether he'll make that or not.
Let's hope so.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery !
I'm sure he would appreciate any messages - to studio@rti.fm.

Meanwhile, this does throw the remaining special 'Live Album Zone' shows into some jeopardy.
This really is a case of wait and see, I'm afraid.
If he feels a measly 1% better, I'm pretty sure he will drag himself in front of that mixer and put those headphones on, if he is allowed to do so.

The schedule, if it goes ahead, will be the usual Sunday time - 20.00 UK 21.00 CET, for 2 hours.

Then, an extra 4 hour special is planned for Monday, 20.00 UK, 21.00 CET.

A quick goodbye on Tuesday evening, 1 hour only, 20.00 UK, 21.00 CET, before he is scheduled to return to the UK on Wednesday.

If we can, we'll keep you posted - but always best to tune to www.rti.fm at the above times (or to Sky 0195) and you'll hear for yourself, if he's made it there. Let's hope so.
Any extra news we get, I will post here.

Get well soon Guv'nor !

Album Zone 'Live' Programmes - Schedule

Ok, ok, I know what's happening now.
Bit of a last minute chaos thing today, hence not being able to tell you of the sudden 20.00CET 'Live' start tonight - although, bless ya, various Zoneheads were there in evidence, as many emails, texts, and Skypes came through. Thanks to Steve, Rhonda, Jia, Kirstin, Fawn, Babes, Al & KT, Steve R., Jim & Susie and many more for tuning in and saying Hi, tonight.
The next few days 'live' Scheds of the Johnny Reece Show, on www.rti.fm and Sky 0195, direct from Slovakia, are looking like this :

Friday 22 Sep : 19.00 UK, 20.00 CET. 2 Hour Programme. (Smoochy Soul for a change !).
Sunday 24 Sep : 20.00 UK, 21.00 CET. 2 Hour Programme.
Monday 25 Sep : 20.00 UK, 21.00 CET. 4 Hour Programme.
Tuesday 26 Sep : 19.00 Uk, 20.00 CET. 1 Hour Programme.


To get in touch whilst the Programme is running :

Email : studio@rti.fm
Skype : rtipoprad
SMS : 0907 417 497 (outside Slovakia +421 907 417 497 - and it's standard rate !).

After that, we allege normal service will return.

Johnny

Not sure when, as yet...

Thursday, and I have no idea when I'll be on air tonight - not sure how the Scheds are going, but I'll find out later. Could be 8pm, 9pm, 10pm... whatever.
The reason for that is a big conference presentation of sorts happening, and I've been asked to help on the sound desk for that - so all that has taken up a bit of priority, this afternoon.
If I get time, I'll post the 'on air' time as soon as I know. Otherwise, just tune in and keep listening !

Johnny

Slovakia, and deserved days off !!!

To one and all, hello from Slovakia !!!
Just arrived a few hours ago, a bit tired and weary, as I was up until 2am preparing music I wanted to bring here, for the shows. Then, due to an early flight, I had to get up at 4am.
Something tells me it will catch up with me later tonight !
I'm in RTI as I write this, and pictured above, there's myself and Petra, followed by a pic of me with the Sound guys, Vlado and Ivan, and finally, me with the strikingly luscious Lucia.
As for tonight - I won't be guesting on Erics Show, as planned. In fact, there won't be an Eric Show tonight - he has decided our time would be much better spent this evening, going out for eats and drinks around the town. Sounds ok to me !
However, I am definitely on air, the evenings of Thursday, Friday, Sunday, and Monday.
All of them 'Live' to the world, of course. And don't forget - Friday is the 'Smooch' Show.
More reports to follow soon !

milovat', Johnny xx

So, is this the Johnny Reece World Tour or what ?

Hello all,
here is a quick update on the special 'Live' Album Zone programmes coming up this week, together with a few AZ schedule changes, because of these.
Much will be arranged at the last minute, or, in fact, once Johnny Reece gets to Poprad, but we do now have a basic outline of what is happening.

As ever, the Programmes are available worldwide via www.rti.fm, and on Sky 0195.
Oh, and there's a 'Live Studio Webcam' on the RTI front page too.



On Wednesday, 20th September, Johnny will be a guest on the Eric Wiltsher Show, on RTI.
Erics show runs from 19.00 - 22.00 hrs (UK time), and no doubt Johnny will be around for most of the show.

The first 'Album Zone Live Special' will be on the evening of Thursday 21st September.
This will be a regular Album Zone Programme - "the usual nonsense", as Mr Reece says !!!
This is expected to begin at 22.00 hrs (UK time). If that changes - I'll let you know, on this Blog.

The second show is the next evening, Friday 21st September, and will be... wait for it... wait... wait...
'Johnny Reece's Soul Train'. Yes, really ! Smoochy Soul, indeed. Just for a change.
This is expected to begin at 22.00 hours (UK).

Saturday night - 23rd September - Johnny will have the night off.
He'll be partying in Poland ! The cheek of it !
An Album Zone Programme will be played though - the new Show from Richard Bismarck, his first since returning from his Norwegian jaunt. That will be aired at 21.00 (UK).

Johnny is back in the studio chair on Sunday evening, 24th September, for his regular Album Zone spot, though of course, 'Live' this time, and he'll be there at 20.00 hrs (UK).

Monday too, 25th September, looks like another 'Live' Zone.
Word is this may be an earlier 20.00 hrs (UK) start this time, but of course I'll let you know.
Keep an eye on this Blog !
As for Tuesday - there could be another - we're not sure yet.

But, how to get in touch directly with the Studio - these are 'Live', remember.
It's easy !

To email the Studio during these 'Live' Shows : studio@rti.fm
To SMS : + 421 907 417 497
If you've got Skype - just send a message to : rtipoprad

There may well be a Live Phone number on 1 or 2 shows too, we'll know nearer the time.

---------------------------------

As for our Saturday via RTI Schedules, they now look like this :

23rd September : Richard Bismarck
30th September : Barry De Foyle
7th October : Zoe Street
14th October : Katrine

Following these, Andy Miles, Rich Phoenix, and the welcome return, shortly, of Gil Legine.

That's all the news that's unfit to print, right now.
A week or so after returning from Poprad, Johnny Reece has some work in Paris too, though this is not Album Zone based. But my guess is, you'll hear all about it !

Thanks, as ever, for your support.

THE ALBUM ZONE - 'Live' to the World - Next Week !!!!

Bonsoir Zoneheads, how are things ?

I have such a multitude of things to tell you about today, so I had better get on with it.
Everything from Programme News to Playlists to exclusive news about Special 'Live' Album Zone Programmes.

Our news is like London Buses - all coming along at once, yes ?

-----------------------

THE ALBUM ZONE 'Live' AROUND THE WORLD :

Yes, you read that correctly. Oh, and Zoneheads - it's sooner than you think.

Johnny Reece will present a minimum of FOUR (possibly more !!!) special Album Zone Programmes - 'Live' from the RTI Studios in Poprad, Slovakia, next week.This deal has just been done in the last few hours, so this really is hot off the press.

Johnny flies out to Poprad on Wednesday morning, 20th September, to spend a week in Slovakia, and in all probability, he will guest on the Eric Wiltsher Programme via RTI, that very evening.
Then, for at least 4 out of the following 6 evenings, Johnny will broadcast 'Live' from the RTI Poprad Studios, around the World.
Final details to follow - all the details will appear right here, first, so do keep an eye on this Blog !!!.

What I can confirm though, is that the 2 usual AZ spots at weekends via RTI, Saturday and Sunday evenings, will of course now be 'Live', though with a slight difference.
As ever, the Sunday (24th September) will be 'Johnny Reece's Album Zone', but the day before, Saturday night, will feature 'Johnny Reece's Soul Train' - which Johnny requested to do, as he wished to do something a little different for the Saturday night spot.

Bear in mind too - listeners will be able to email, text, or use Skype to contact the Studio, during these one-off special Live Programmes.

Arrangements are still being made for which other evenings Johnny will be doing 'Live' programmes - though it is expected to be Friday, and possibly Monday too. But, of course - you'll read about it here first !
So do check back here often - we'll have all the details for you, in a proper Schedule format, just after this weekend.

------------------------------------

Now, on to other Programme news. Four new Shows for the Pod !
The 4th Show from Katrine is being prepared, and this will be on our Pod first, before being broadcast anywhere else. Also, the new show from Rich Phoenix will be with us before the week is out, and, once again, it will feature on our Pod first. Richard Bismarck is back from his trip to Norway, and his newie is queuing up for attention too, as is the newie from Andy Miles.
Every one of these, will be on the Pod within days...

Glades, Playlists, and the usual nonsense

Hello all, and welcome to the weekend.

What a strange week, with AZ Towers being very quiet, indeed, deserted at times.
So, I hold the fort at the moment, with what's to come this weekend, programme wise, about to be revealed.
But what of recent days ?
Very good to hear the return of Rich Phoenix, after a long while. The Pod went download crazy for a while as Rich's first show in eons hit the airwaves. And - there's another one to come, in about a weeks time. Ok ?
I mentioned not too long ago, of our Nordic tripper, Richard Bismarck. He has returned from the fjords, safe and well, and there is no doubt he will tell you all about it, on his next programme. This, too, will be with you shortly.
And once again in your ears soon, will be Zoe Street, who returns to AZ Towers next week.

What a strange week meanwhile, for our MC, Mr Reece.
To say so many changes have hit him all at once could be something of an understatement. To cap all that, he has not been around at AZ Towers too much, owing to a sudden sinus virus attack (yes, again !).
He knows the symptoms by now - he could feel this one approaching, so he rushed in here to get a show 'in the can' as it were, as quickly as possible.
Not sure how he managed it, but he did.
But, with approaching high temps, giddiness, pain, all sorts of nonsense - a radio studio isn't exactly what the doctor would order, so kudos to the Scotsman for rushing in here before the symptoms would take their full effect.
They did, a couple of days ago - but happily, he's on the mend now.
What a week.

This weekend ?
Ah yes, those AZ Programmes.

Saturday night, 9th September, via RTI and Sky, we have the recent jointly hosted show from 'The Glades' (also known as AZ Studio 2), featuring Johnny Reece and Andy Miles.
Lots of gossip, and reminiscences about Radio 6, MNO, and the like.

Sunday night, as ever, again via RTI and Sky, it's the Johnny Reece Show.
You'll hear it at 20.00hrs (UK time), via www.rti.fm, and on Sky Satellite channel 0195.
Ah yes, the playlist for this weekends Reecey Soiree ?
Here goes... :

--------------------------------------------

It's Those Weekend Playlists !

Hello all, and welcome to the weekend.
Time was, when we would upload the playlists for the weekend Album Zone Shows just as the Programmes were about to finish, we thought it was the way to do it.
However, many emails later from the Zoneheads of the Universe seems to have convinced us otherwise - you like the playlists up front.

So, with that in mind - here goes.

Two AZ Shows this weekend as ever, and firstly, on Saturday night, this week we hear from Katrine.

Then, on Sunday night, we have Johnny Reece.

Want the details ? Off we go...
