OLO RADIO - THE END

Yes sadly after 5 great years of broadcasting (live and in podcast form) we have decided to call it a day here at OLO Radio. We'll write more next week about why we decided to stop. We'll also be posting up some stats, facts and figures for the eggheads amongst you. You can still listen to and download ALL the podcasts right here right now. The blog won't be deleted. We've collected up ALL 134 of the podcasts so they are safe. Hopefully we'll work out a good way to get them all to you.

We'll get back to you next week,

The OLO Radio Team

>UPDATE - 24th AUGUST 2010<

Hello again,

This is just a bit of a round-up and a final goodbye from the OLO Radio team.

Maybe we should tell you why we decided to stop podcasting mixes. During the end of last year and the beginning of this year we really fell behind with making new mixes and updating the itunes podcast feed. The number of mixes we put out was really poor compared to the number in past years. I think most of the team lost interest in doing the mixes and had less time to make them due to a number of things. So we decided to stop. There's no point just doing just a few a year. Stop it! kill it! do something new! (more on that in a bit).

We've left you with 134 OLO Radio mixes to listen to / download whenever you ever want to. As we said in the message above, when we manage to upload them all (it's gonna take a while!) we'll post links up here on this blog for you to download the whole lot.

We've really enjoyed running OLO Radio! In all the different forms its taken - the weekly live online radio streams, the pre-mixed podcasts, the live DJing (in the real world), and even within our OLO Worms live sets. It's been a lot of fun! We've really enjoyed having the special guest mixes made for OLO Radio too. So thanks to all the guests who made mixes for us and a BIG thank you to anyone who tuned into our radio signal. Cheers! x

Here are some final lists, facts and figures..

GIG SUPPORTING STEVE MASON - PHOTOS

JH: "It hasn't really sunk in yet but just over a week ago we supported Steve Mason in Bristol. You can have a look at the photos above. Steve Mason was a bit of a hero of mine growing up so it was a big deal when we got asked to do it. I won't go on anymore about him as it's embarrassing, i'll keep it to myself. I was soo pleased it all went really well. It was probably our best gig we've ever played. It felt like everything clicked into place. We had the Pink Panther theme as intro music that we walked onto, it really put me at ease. We got a really great review in Venue magazine which you can read HERE.

Setlist..

Disney

Are You Girl?

Back From England

Whacked By Pillow

Sphinx

She's On My Corpse

We won't be playing live again now til we have something recorded. We really need to focus on recording. We have soo much to do."

BRISTOL HARBOUR FESTIVAL 2010 - PHOTOS

JH: "Well, not our best performance. Shame. No worries though. Hopefully people enjoyed us, they seemed to. On the plus side the new greeen lights looked good. Not sure if anyone could see the tiny visuals i filmed of the festival just a few hours before we went on. I liked the idea, maybe it didn't work though? My favourite moment of the gig was when our set ended and the soundguy/DJ played Wu-Tang's 'Cream'. Thanks for coming along and supporting us if u did. good to see friends and maybe new friends? We enjoyed the day, the festival, and the big dogs."

OLO EXTRA

We've decided to stop uploading big batches of photos on this blog (and on the OLO Extra blog) as it takes soo long with blogger - JH has started a new Flickr account, It can be found HERE. We'll be uploading all my photos on there. I'll be keeping them organised in 'sets'. I'm hoping this will mean i can keep this blog up to date. It's more enjoyable this way as you get to see a slideshow, oooh slideshow!
