Welcome Duncan Faure fans!

Today on Twirl Radio, we’ll be chatting with legendary singer-songwriter-musician Duncan Faure. Originally a member of the South African band Rabbitt, along with Trevor Rabin, he was invited to join the pop band Bay City Rollers as lead singer and keyboardist.

The 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, and now the “teens” have seen a brilliant solo career for Duncan. His songs range from upbeat pop (my personal favorite), to tender ballads to progressive rock. The man can do it all. Finally, a two-disc CD entitled Anthology is available. This set contains 36 tracks from his solo years, including a brand new song called “Nightfall”–which shows that Duncan’s work is better than ever.

We’ll be chatting with Duncan Faure on Twirl Radio today, at about 4:30 p.m. Pacific. But join us for all the fun–4:00-6:00 p.m. Pacific, http://www.twirlradio.com!

Twirlie Awards to air over London, UK’s Recharged Radio on Tuesday, 2/15/2011!

The very highly-regarded Twirlie Awards show just got a major boost–we’re going international! That’s right, the Twirlies, indie music’s answer to the Grammies (even though the Grammies didn’t ask for an answer), will air on London, UK’s prestigious Recharged Radio!

The good folks in London agreed to let this two hour slice of California sunshine air during their Tuesday night staple, The California Diner. This gives a tremendous boost to the excellent musicians who made 2010 so rich for both radio stations.

Check it out. The festivities run on Tuesday, February 15, 2011 from 8-10 p.m. GMT (12-2 p.m. Pacific), only at Recharged Radio. http://www.rechargedradio.com. See you there!
