Untimely death of Resonance104.4fm contributor

Ed Baxter — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 06:30:16 +0000

At noon today we broadcast a classic episode of Cyber Chutney Arse Duck, the idiosyncratic song cycle made for Resonance104.4fm by The Pooh Lord, aka Ban, aka Simon Bannister, whose suicide this week we report with undisguised dismay.
This is Show 6 from Series 1. It speaks for itself and amply demonstrates Simon’s singular humour and talent. About it, he wrote: “This is a show specifically designed for some person who might be walking down a country lane, at 3 in the morning listening to this show… It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I post this, the last Cyber Chutney Arse Duck Show in the series. Please don’t cry little Jonny, just keep thinking of the good times. I shall not tease you with what this last episode contains, let it be a surprise, a gift even. For you have made it this far and to divulge even the smallest of details could be likened to a kick in the teeth followed by a kiss on the cheek.”
Our condolences to Simon’s family, friends and admirers.
Cyber Chutney Arse Duck, Friday 29 July at 12noon.

Far Side Special: Ainu Country

Ed Baxter — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 10:51:47 +0000

Today’s Far Side Radio show is a special documentary entitled Ainu Country, written and presented by Paul Fisher, produced by Resonance104.4fm, edited by Mark Robins and commissioned by CBC Radio in Canada. The Ainu are the native people of Japan, although they were only officially recognized by the Japanese government as recently as 2008. Their music is totally different to other Japanese music and has gained popularity in the last few years within Japan and around the world, mainly due to the efforts of Oki Kano. Paul Fisher, who lived in Japan for 10 years, went back to find out more about Ainu music and to meet Oki Kano in the ancestral home of the Ainu, the northern island of Hokkaido.
