Hope all good in your hood, just a quick message to say there's a new Wireless Show out in Internetland should you wish to fill your ears with pleasurable sounds for an hour.
All the best for the new year folks. Keep yer head up.
"William Burroughs, Ken Kesey, Jack Kerouac, Camus; all books were just as exciting to us as records, there wasn't much difference." - Richey Edwards, 1991
Helloooooo, is anyone out theerrre?
Dunno if this thing is active anymore - had even forgotten about it myself - but if this reaches you then you may, possibly, be ecstatic to learn I’ve rekindled the ole Wireless Show.
Apart from an improved microphone there’s not much change, the content is what you came to cherish back yonder: borderless music from across the globe and decades aimed at the heart and feet.
Hope you’re all well. Stay positive comrades, we have our books and our poetry to protect us...
Monkey's Wandering Wireless Show reaches episode 50! Can you believe it?
Many thanks to every one of you who has listened at some point. It's a nice landmark and feels the right time to close this series. It's been a real pleasure to do and wonderful that it's connected with so many of you. Thank you.
Take care,
Monk
It's time to pack up your troubles in a old kit bag and take a trip to Monkey Island. In less than an hour you'll hear some of the globe's grooviest grooves, old and new, including heavenly soul, acid evangelists, raucous garage rockers, tambourine shaking god botherers, drug crazed hillbillies, drunks with the blues, Latino dance mash-ups, bouncy pop beats and other stuff that's none of those things.
Get on board now!
Captain Monk
Howdy comrades. Thanks for your patience but the wait is over, a new Wandering Wireless Show is available now!
You know the score by now: a hour's blend of sophisticated soul, scruffy rock 'n' roll, an angry dog yapping to jazz, that sorta thing. Tracks from 1953 onwards with a very healthy number of hot new waxings to enjoy.
Thanks a lot. Hope you enjoy it.
Monk
Howdy.
Hope you're all doing okay. If you need a little escape from the the outside world for an hour, the new Monkey's Wandering Wireless Show is at hand - a hip bag of soul stirrers, head rockers, fuzz phantoms, blues busters, beefy beaters, folky flippers, jazz strokers, galvanising groovers and plenty more made up genres.
Take care people.
It goes a little something like this.
Howdy comrades! Been a while - about two months - but the new Monkey's Wandering Wireless Show is now ready for your enjoyment. Ya know the score by now so no need for me to give it the heavy sell but hope you can find an hour.
Hope you like the flyer too, took a long time to create with (digital) scissors and Pritt-Stick!
Listen up: Satisfaction Guaranteed
Howdy comrades. It's been a couple of months but now it's time to make out with Monkey's Wandering Wireless Show!
In truth, it might be a bit distracting for that sort of carry on but I'm not here to judge. Simply find an hour of your day or night and enjoy discovering - or become reacquainted with - some glorious musical treasures.
Much love, your good friend, Monk xxx
Howdy comrades, I'm excited to tell you EVERYTHING IS GONNA BE ALRIGHT! Well, for an hour at least as you tune into the latest Wandering Wireless Show.
It has incredible music from the 1950s to the present day covering the continents and crossing more styles than a lifetime of Paul Weller haircuts. Enjoy!
Howdy comrades, hope you're all okay. A little later than planned but the new Wandering Wireless Show is up and ready for your ears when you have a hour. You know the sort of things to expect by now but good luck trying to predict any of the actual tracks! Take care, Monk
Bonjour comrades, just a quickie to tell you the latest Wandering Wireless Show is up and ready for you. The usual formula of mixing up terrific records from across the globe and throughout the decades. Find yourself an hour and treat your ears. Hope you enjoy it. Take care. Monk
Hope you're all doing okay. There's light at the end of the tunnel but with still no record shops, football, pubs, clubs, family or friends to visit, what else are you gonna do other than get a shot of the latest Wireless Show? Possible side-effects can include note takin', toe tappin', head noddin', foot stompin', beard strokin', a smile, a cheeky wink and a spring in the step. Gotta be worth a pop! Yours, Dr. Monk

Well, thank goodness this year is almost over! Cheers everyone who has listened to the Wireless Show in 2020, pleased it's provided the occasional bit of light relief. Enjoy this one and take care. Monk X
It's here! A new episode of MONKEY'S WANDERING WIRELESS SHOW.
An hour of brilliant (mostly lesser heard) music stretching from 1961 to 2020 featuring loads of styles (I can't list 'em - all the good ones...). This show also scatters a number of obscure covers throughout. Enjoy.
LISTEN HERE!
