During the 1980’s mainstream radio was not catering for underground Soul, Funk and Hip Hop and the majority of Bristol clubs and bars attitude to the music was to avoid playing it completely. So, in 1987, B.A.D. Radio launched from a St Werburgh’s bedroom to fill the much needed musical gap, broadcasting its brand of music-from-the-streets across Bristol using a small, home made transmitter. In constant threat from being ‘busted’ by the DTI, the station risked loosing their equipment, large fines, and the DJ the confiscation of their records. DJs initially played at weekends before the station expanded its roster and scheduling.
B.A.D. Radio undoubtably changed the face of the Bristol music scene for ever; other Pirate stations soon followed helping change the perception of clubs and bars to the music.
Join us for a journey back to the 80s with three of Bristol’s iconic Soul DJs throwing-down old school jams the way they did back in the day.
