#21 Break up the Party!

This week we have more reporting from Calais, where increasingly violent deportations of people seeking asylum are being monitored by No Borders activists. Back in the UK, while legitimised gatherings are now being targetted by the authorities, other spaces are secure and viable. We hear about an upcoming event at the occupied JB Spray former factory building, where from August 21-23rd people interested in or active on migration and related issues are invited to a weekend of discussions and workshops on the theme of going ‘Beyond Borders’. We talk to one of the event’s organisers.

Also check in for the latest on plans to scupper the racist plot-fest the ‘Red, White and Blue’ festival, coming to a town near you this August, and find out about a new alternative mental health project in Nottingham, as Ben has a chat with Penny. Special thanks must go out to Leni Ward, Home Stereo and Made of Leaves for coming to the rescue and sorting the music for the show at the last minute. Y’all sounding great!

As always we love to hear your feedback in the comments section, and don’t forget – if you’re the slightest bit interested in getting involved with Riseup! Radio, drop us an email!

#17 Struggle in Our Cities

Hi folks. Can you believe the weather? In this first June installation, we cover a jolly folk dance day that happened in Forest Fields on perhaps the only rainy weekend of last month. Nevertheless, lots of people, music and dance, with a tastefully anti-authoritarian undercurrent.

We’re also hanging out at the occupied JB Spray factory building, where we talk about squatting and the dangers of racist party the BNP’s election campaigning. And we go ‘daan sarf’ to meet some rather motivated city folk, who claim to be in the process of setting up no fewer than eleven workers’ co-ops one one estate!

Listen to all that, and more to come so very soon. Love from the Riseup! crew.

#15 Britain’s Moral Meltdown

People, it’s April 2009 and this month’s riseup! is a super effort. In our front lounge studio we were blessed with the talents of live musicians Posh Jay and Haiki, as our Lenton-based hosts plied us with hot tea and flapjack crumbs. We talked for hours about the hyped predictions of civil unrest, and the latest legislation to protect cops from being photographed while pro-actively attempting to crush any loose peppercorns of dissent. We also feature the forthcoming Coal Caravan, St Anns’ Fresh project, and some really good Notts electro. Have a listen, listen again, then tell someone else about it. Cheers!

#11 The December Show

What a show, what can we say? Listen to it, get informed, be entertained, weep gently and tell all your friends/actually scrap that just get cross if they haven’t listened to it yet. This month we talk to the Electric Vehicle Collective about Evelin, the new eco van in town. Dom gives us a preview of his latest ‘Letters From…’ and Jaque talks to people at the Chase Centre in St Ann’s and gives us the low down post Icelandic bank crash, all fused by the scintillating melodies of a plethora of local musical talent.

Happy Winter Solstice, here’s to the days getting longer and hear you in the new year!

Love from

Everyone at Riseup! Radio and few more to boot.
