On DAB I'm stuck with just the nearest local radio broadcast. All the many music stations sound the same to me. Seems like there's a long way to go before it's really providing a good service.

It is heavily dependant on where you live it's true. But as the coverage improves, it will come into it's own. Though I suppose that also depends on whether you like specific music at all. I think you can get talk radio or Radio 4 if music is not your thing.

I think the choice is fantastic. Today I had a 400 watt amp dropped into my Merc and a gert big subwoofer. I can now plug and play my DAB radio or Ipod in my car at filling shattering volumes. Bring on Symonds Yat in the summer. Boot open, tunes and swimming in the river. Nice

I hope you'll like them, Mattafix is a bit odd but quite cool and Jim Noir with simple yet genius lyrics like 'if you don't give back my ball I'm going to tell my dad on you' is very entertaining - sunny summer evening music (if we ever have any.....)

Yep I am not holding out hope for any. Just received tickets for Reyond Reality, a big fat do at London Bridge on June 10. It should be a marvellous. I have been working on another website promoting the party and at last it has come to fruition so I should get to meet a load of people off'f the forums that I have been chatting with. Unfortunately its the same weekend as John's Bempton Cliffs and I can't see me being in a fit state to drive up from the smoke to Whitby, I believe it is near.
