In September, while in the UK to attend the ABBA Voyage concert, I realised a long-held dream to visit the ABBA Museum in Stockholm, Sweden. As a blind person, what interested me most was the aural experience. Sporting my digital recorder, I was able to leave the museum with some extraordinary audio. I have compiled this into a three-hour documentary and celebration of ABBA, called Mosen at the Museum. All four band members talk about their early lives, how they met each other, when Benny and Anni-Frid fell in love and when Agnetha and Björn became a couple.

The Juke In The Back” focuses on the “soul that came before rock n’ roll,” the records that inspired Elvis, Buddy Holly, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and countless others.
The “Juke In The Back” highlights the often ignored early career of Big Maybelle, one of the great female blues shouters.
This week on Deep Dive we enjoy the music and talents of American-Australian singer, actress and tv personality Marcia Hines. We hear that I don't know how to love him, you, and what I did for love.
Tune in at 4 PM Eastern Monday, and 7 AM Tuesday in Eastern Australia. Or at 6 AM Eastern Wednesday, which is 9 PM in Eastern, Australia. Just tell that SmartSpeaker of yours to play Mushroom FM and it will take you there.
Deep Dive, where we focus on one artist for one hour, on Mushroom Fm, home of the fun guys.

After you've enjoyed Come By The Hills with Sara Hillis, tomorrow afternoon from 02:00 to 05:00, don't touch that dial, device, PC, Mac or smart speaker and join me for The Early Years, where and when you'll hear the best music from Rock and Roll's Golden Age (its first quarter century) with an occasional nod to other decades and genres.
Well, it's birthday season this week on The Early Years. Today is my birthday and tomorrow is Sara's husband, Mike's, which she mentioned on her show last week.
Yes, it's that time of year again: time to tell spooky stories and listen to haunting songs in honour of Halloween on Mushroom FM's Folk and Celtic music show! We'll learn about All Soul's Night, demon lovers, restless ghosts, and encounters with elves, fairies and other strange beings. IN short, we'll have a fun time! We'll be drawing greatly on the ballads collected some hundred years ago by Francis Child. They're often long, are filled with a healthy dose of spook, and are simply fascinating. The show won't be live this week, but I'll be with you--of course--in spirit.

When released in 1966, the Revolver album broke new ground. Rather than just going into the studio to record performances, the Beatles viewed the studio as a canvas with which they could paint musical pictures impossible to make on-stage. They challenged their producer and engineers to create new sounds and find better ways of capturing their work. As it turned out, the Beatles days as a live band were over. Like sponges, they were soaking up musical and cultural influences.

Thanks to a bit of VPN trickery behind the scenes, we have been able to work around our connectivity issues for now and normal service is back. This technique is subject to connectivity issues, but for now it is solid and we are hoping it will see us through until the connectivity issues are resolved.
Apologies for the disruption and thanks to Sara for broadcasting live at short notice with some delightful temporary programming.

At present, there is an Internet connectivity issue that is making the Mushroom Fm stream unlistenable. Mushroom Escape is unaffected.
Unfortunately this is one of those random issues where one of the links in the chain between our studio in New Zealand and our server a long way away is affected, and it is completely out of our control. All our servers and equipment are working normally, but a random connection hub in the chain is not.
We're really sorry about the disruption, and we hope it is resolved very soon.
