Do you recognise this great audio site?

From: katlaughing

I bookmarked a site on my RealAudio Player using just the number addy of it on the web, ages ago. I am pretty sure I got it form someone here, but have nothing but the numbers to search with and have not found it in the supersearch.

Anyway, it seems to be non-stop, uninterrupted GOOD Celtic music all of the time and I was just wondering if any of you recognise it. I'd like to know the name of the site I got it from. It is at http://166.90.143.142:10904.

Lots of pipes, drums, singing, fiddles, etc. It really is a great sounding site and I never have any problems with net congestion.

Thansk for any assistance,

kat

It's "Ren-radio" - yup....usually pretty good. I think I was the one that posted it.

thanks for reminding me about it. I haven't listened to it for a couple weeks.

Thanks, Mmario! I knew it came from one of us! It does sound SO good, doesn't it, Night Owl?

somewhere in texas I think - because I know a few of the CD's that are played are very local to the texas ren-faires, but not positive about that.

I had to enter the ip address in my realaudio player to get it to work correctly, I wasn't able to use the clicky

Oh, that's odd because I copied and pasted it right from my RealPlayer. Hmmm, I'll go check it.

How do you enter the ip address MM? I entered the numbers Kat gave us and it just laughs at me.

This is really odd, because when I click on my link, my RealPlayer stops, then loads it just fine from the link. Have you all upgraded your RealPlayer when Max switched a couple of months ago for the radio show? I think it is version 7 now?

been listening to this station for a couple hours now while working.....still NO commercials.just constant music...and no net congestion problems. I was able to access kat's link quickly here with RealPlayer8Plus. Being cyber challenged..I'm not sure what other info might help.

it's not a commercial station; it's a private one. Many of the CD's played are ones that are not available in stores, in fact they are not available except from the groups themselves.

MMario, do you know how we could find about their addy and playlist and purchase info?

Well, duh, I wasn't thinking!! They did announce it, then I didn't catch what he said, so I did a Google search and sure enough, it is a very simple www.renradio.com addy!!

AND, THEY ARE LOOKING FOR ARTISTS' CDS TO PLAY!!!

Thanks, again, MMario, great site!!!

yup! that's stuff I din't know about before. But I can tell you, Pyrates Royale and the Corsairs are superb. (tho I would prefer them live.) Gypsy Guerilla Band (and though not mentioned - Jim Hancock) are also fantastic. Owen Phyfe, New World Renaissance Band & Cantiga are "ear candy" to coin a phrase....

and do a web search for Minstrels of Mayhem. The harmonies those guys can put into a song!!!! M.O.M. walks on water where I am concerned...I wanna be one when I grow up.

It's www.minstrelsofmayhem.com Have all albums and CDs...wonderful group! Craig of Farrington offers about 3 other solo tapes as well. Very good!

the duo "Bedlam" - who have several tracks that play at ren-radio are at http://bedlamboys.dhs.org/

Both their CD's are well worth having.

Ooooh Thank you Kat!

I clicked on the link in your first post and it's playing a beautiful tune I know - slow fiddle (or maybe cello) - its very deep. The tune is 'As I roved out'

No problems accessing it either, it took at least five seconds between click and music!

mmmmmmmmmmm, dreamy.

Cheers,

Catrin

Thanks, Catrin, and you too, Kat and MMario! I'm downloading now, and mine also says it's going to take 6 hours. Dunno if it really will, but if my family objects I'll just do it overnight.

y'know - I've been unable for several years to play Ren-radio- ever since they went first to a non-static IP address and then to live-365. But I have checked every couple of weeks in the hopes that I could get them again.

and now I can.

yes!
