Live Radio Caroline Set - 14th September 10pm


Up until the inception of the pirate radio station, later to be called Caroline, rock and pop music radio and tv was limited to a few carefully selected and highly unsubersive programmes, their output pretty much controlled by the major labels. When Caroline founder Ronan O'Rahilly couldn't get airplay for the bands he managed... he bought a ship and set up shop in international waters.


Despite continuous attempts by the government to put a stop to their 'dangerous' activities (and of course being keen to control any revenue), the station has kept going in one form or another ever since.

These days, although still maintaining their fiercely independent ideaology, the station broadcasts on the internet, Sky, satellite and cable, with the excellent recent announcement that Caroline is being relayed to the 100,000 listeners in the Baltic states from the powerful 945kHz medium wave transmitter of Radio Nord in Riga, Latvia.

Rob Leighton presents Imagination Radio via Carolines transmitters and has long been a good friend and supporter of Bluehorses. Rob asked us to record a live set for Imagination some time ago, and we finally got it together in August on the way home from the very rockin' Farmer Phil's Festival.

The show was recorded in Rob's beautiful 250 year old country cottage with an invited audience of friends and neighbours. The band played for about an hour, recording onto their mobile studio, really having a ball, making some new friends and availing themselves of the sumptuous buffet provided by the lovely Mrs Leighton!

The show goes out on the 14th September at 10pm so please listen in, the band are all really proud to be leaving their small mark in radio history. To find out how to listen to the show, click on the Radio Caroline logo above.

Beautiful setting, lovely people - both festy crew and audience - rotating stage based on a cow-milking carousel and that Farmer Phil... He am THE MAN! Oh yes indeedy.

Andy's Montreux Diary and Pics!

The prestigious Montreux Festival recently set the scenery for a couple of rocking Bluehorses shows. Intrepid crew dood, and all round top bloke - Andy 'Bitch' Dolman - tells the tales and takes the pics.

Check out Andy's true and completely unbiased account of the whole weekend from Dover to Montreux via a selection of choice superstores - No change there then...! [here]

Engine Room Refit

As some of you may already know, Nathan has decided to call it a day and concentrate on fronting his own band project. We're very sad to see him go, as his inimitable thunderous playing style and stage persona have contributed a huge amount to the band over the past 4 years. We wish him all the best with his new band and family life with Fluffy and their new son Luke. Rock on Dood!!

The next few shows will see the return of our old pal Rob Khoo, BHs original bassist of 9 years, who's kindly agreed to help us out on a voluntary basis while we look for a permenent replacement. We know that many of you will look forward to saying hi to him again!

Live at Saul Festival DVD is now available

Photos - Graham Parkes


"On July 1st 2005, Celtic rockers Bluehorses played a
blinding headline set to an enthusiastic 1200 strong crowd under canvas at Saul
Festival.


The show was filmed and produced by a crack TV film crew and
sound recorded using 24-track digital technology. Directed by David Wheeler (Top
Gear, Bad Lads Army, SAS Jungle Borneo etc)


Bluehorses are a band to be taken very seriously, but their
sense of humour is pristine. With that essential mixture of darkness and light,
they have the perfect balance.


The atmosphere was electric and the spirit of the whole
weekend is captured here.


This DVD recording reveals the stunning light show, the
energy and, of course, the music from the festival stage and the enjoyment of
the crowd on that special summer's evening".
