Blues 'n' Radio
Auckland’s IXI is broadcasting the country’s only blues show. The station broke new ground in New Zealand radio with its popular In The Mood which offers 'a taste of jazz’ for four hours (8-12) on Friday nights. Hosting and producing the show is blues fan Ken Williams, Radio IXl’s chief reporter and a regular Rip It Up writer. Ken’s Big City Music Blues Show follows In The Mood from midniqht till lam.
The show’s aim is to present a wide spectrum of music in the blues idiom, and to be both informative and entertaining. Artists featured so far include Muddy Waters, 8.8. King, Robert Johnson and Bukka White to name but a few. Recordings range from the late twenties through to the present day.
