Sing-a-long-a-Three Chords & the Truth

Who’s for a knees up and a bit of a sing song? Alex and Andy are going: end of the night disco, once round the camp fire, and all the way up the highway, for a show of songs everyone knows the words to. I’m thinking KD vrs Missy, Bette Midler meets Don McLean and up on to the tables to throw our arms around Mark Seymour.

So take me home country roads – I better be home soon.

It’s Radi-oke mikes out - plug them in 1pm Sunday to Joy 94.9

about producing this show ...

We are surfing away, just like you, to find great artists and keep track of the artists getting us a little hot under the collar... So what are we looking at for Three Chords and the Truth coming up ....? Check out the new Myspace links on the blog, and hear tracks before we even get them on the show. Alex

The Young and the Old

For our first hour, we are going the last 12 months and the last century: putting the roots of the Roots side by side with the latest flash in the pan. Representing Gen Y will be the lovely Jade, while Alex will sit in the corner of Gen 'Can't remember Y'.

In case of any confusion, let me make it clear: this theme is young and old music NOT young and old people. I am in my middle-age not my dot-age, thank you muchly. And I was young once ... Alex

HOUR of POWER

This Sunday 16 May. 1pm-3pm. Hosts are Lauren & Andy. Theme for first hour is THE HOUR OF POWER meaning lots of Gospel, a little full-throttle Blues, and other stuff to shock you out of a Sunday reverie. Be there.

Bet you never heard this before …

How many hundreds of thousands of songs have been written and recorded, and how many do we ever get to hear?

This week our theme in the first hour is ‘Hidden gems’ and Sonya and Alex will do their best to outdo each other to bring you random, obscure and just plain unUUUUsual. The smellivision version would feature damp record covers and the crackle of old recordings, as well as the touch and taste of the latest digital tracks, so fresh off the server the artists haven’t head them back yet (as if there were any such a thing).

So if you are BORED BORED BORED (did I mention bored?) of commercial radio, tune in to Three Chords and the Truth Sunday 9 May 1-3pm.
