Swan on the Stray hosted the relaunch party for Harrogate Alternative radio. The broadcasting Internet child of Andy Backhouse, a gentleman fizzing with ideas and enthusiasm, HAR is filled with the kind of music, red tape radio could only hope to broadcast, once a week and at an inhospitable time.Dj slots run for an hour, punk following chilled out trance which may then be followed by mayhem, music and chat courtesy of Matt and Allan from Rife radio. HAR doesn’t have to bow to executive orders about what to play. Tunes are chosen from the heart and the passion the dj’s have for their music comes through loud and clear. As did the acts playing in the Swan. Vicki Wheelen, Adam Westerman, Rife radio and Johnny Kendall played great sets, each one finishing to shouts of more. Hopefully a sign of things to come for the future of HAR.
HAR can be listened to on tune in app or search for harrogatealternativeradio.co.uk.
