THE RIDER has Martin Fitzgerald from: a) Being our friend b) Ruth and Martin’s Album Club on the show this week which is nice. He’s sort of talking about his book but more than that talking about where music journalism and criticism lets the side down that...
THRESHOLD Festival’s Chris Carney is in for a chat about the magnificence they all have planned for the weekend on 1st, 2nd and 3rd of April. It is fair to consider The Rider to be excited! The line up looks fantastic and it is outrageously cheap. And we have a...
The Rider has trouble remembering what it has been up to this week, though it has, as ever, fulfilled on its promise of 10 great songs. Neil Atkinson hosts a slightly frenetic show with some weekend and Oscar chat from John Gibbons, Stephanie Heneghan and Adam Melia....

KANYE has let the side down. The weekends were massive. Neil Atkinson’s been watching Edge Of Darkness. But despite all that The Rider has news. News of playing records to humans of a weekend. The Rider goes live at Motel, Friday and Saturday nights. But the...
A SHOW within a show. Wheels within wheels. Adam Melia is away for The Rider but then he isn’t – Neil Atkinson, Stephanie Heneghan and John Gibbons are all ready, present and able but Adam cannot be there. However they devise questions for John to ask him....
THE RIDER this week was recorded on the day of the news about David Bowie passing away. Before that news had even broken, John Gibbons, Stephanie Heneghan and Adam Melia had been discussing what to play from his most recent album. In the end John picked Dollar Days...
