  • The Story of Roots & Fusion

     

    The Story of Roots & Fusion.

     

    A radio show called Roots & Fusion..? What’s that all about then..?

     

    Well for starters it used to be an actual radio show, on good old FM (107.8fm out of Stockport), but now it has moved online. Use your friendly neighbourhood search engine and you’ll find it.

     

    Yes, but what actually is it..? I used to call it “blues, roots, world folk & beyond”, but it is so much more than that, so I’ve recently changed the tagline to “Curated Eclecticism”. One of the show’s listeners has described it as “a brilliant selection of varied artists, I just love to be along for the ride. I’m always making notes of some new artist that I need to find, but it’s also cool to let it all wash over me, knowing I’m in good hands, that the selection will be well curated and the road will be smooth, taking some gentle turns with gorgeous vistas. And the same will be true the next week and the week after that.”

     

    So, some history…

     

    As a teenager I was a rock kid – AC/DC, Motorhead, Rush, Todd Rundgren, Rory Gallagher, etc . In fact, I was given a thorough talking to by the management of Woolworth’s, where I had a Saturday job on the record counter, for playing Queen’s Flash too loud…

     

    I was 17 when a friend played me Billy Cobham’s Stratus (the guitar player is Tommy Bolin. The story goes that David Coverdale heard the album, Spectrum, and wanted Bolin as a replacement for Ritchie Blackmore in Deep Purple. Not only that, but the bass line went on to be sampled by Massive Attack for Safe From Harm) – and that was me done. I was listening to Miles Davis, Stanley Clarke, Return To Forever, Weather Report, Al Di Meola, ECM, Windham Hill – which led me to Michael Hedges…

     

    My early twenties saw me with a job at Our Price Records – by this time I was listening to Steve Hillage, Tangerine Dream, King Tubby, Linton Kwesi Johnson, as well as Marcus Miller, Ben Webster, Pat Metheny, Herbie Hancock, King Sunny Adé…

     

    In 1989 I started work for Decoy Records – a specialist record shop on Deansgate in Manchester. There are many stories about this shop and my time there – to give you an idea of what it was like, if you have ever seen the film High-Fidelity and the shop in that film, Championship Vinyl, that was Decoy. There was a top 50 UK independent record shop list in The Independent and Decoy was actually described as the shop most like Championship Vinyl. I’m not saying that was a good thing…

     

    At this point I lost myself completely in the music – jazz, blues, folk, bluegrass, reggae, Cajun, zydeco, country, African… And I started to make connections. There were similarities between the kora & the banjo for instance, between African & Appalachian. Turns out the actual link is the ngoni, but I didn't know that then.

     

    I started DJ-ing at Band On The Wall, Atlas Bar, Night & Day, The Roadhouse – trying out how these different genres of music fitted together - there was graffiti on the wall of The Roadhouse, "Rick is an interesting DJ"... make of that what you will. I also started promoting live music, putting gigs on. Ozric Tentacles (1991, their 1st Manchester gig, at International One - there were campfires on the street afterwards), didgeridoo band Outback (this was the same year and venue where Oasis had their debut gig), Martin Simpson, Chris Smither, Terry Allen... I almost put Emmylou Harris on at The Royal Exchange (but that’s another story)... Music became almost 24/7.

     

    In 1997 it all became too much and I left it behind…

     

    Fast forward to 2008 – I had a “proper” job, the madness of the 90’s was long past. I was walking past a couple of work colleagues having a conversation when one said, “Ask Rick, he likes jazz…” Turns out Salford City Radio was after a presenter for a jazz program they had. I went to talk to them, but because I didn’t live in Salford they wouldn’t take me on.

     

    But that started me thinking – what sort of radio show would I want to present…? Not a single genre show, I’d get bored. So, something like I used to play out, something that joined different types of music together.

     

    I put a proposal together and sent it off to Stockport’s Pure Radio (thanks to Penny for the idea and Paul Holloway at Pure for taking the chance) and Roots & Fusion was born, with the first show going out on 9th Jan 2009.

     

    Within the first few years, Roots & Fusion won a handful of awards. It went from a one hour show to two hours and found it’s home on Wednesdays from 9pm to 11pm. I started including sessions in the show. Together with first Jason Powell, then later with Aaron Hixon, as sound engineers, we’d record artists sometimes in the studio, sometimes in interesting places and places of interest throughout Stockport – the Air Raid Shelters, The Hat Museum, Staircase House, Anson Engine Museum, the boardroom of Robinson’s Brewery…

     

    From 2012 I started uploading each show to Mixcloud – a listen again website, for people who have lives that don’t involve committing to two hours every Wednesday.

     

    In May 2017, Pure Innovations (the parent company of the charity that ran Pure Radio) decided to let the broadcasting licence go, but not to worry, the station would keep running just with different ownership. We were told the building we were broadcasting out of was going to be demolished, so the new owners were looking for new premises & we would be off air until the move. This was only supposed to be for a couple of weeks. After this extended into a couple of months, I decided to have a re-think.

     

    Since 2014, Roots & Fusion had also been syndicated out of Canada via Blues & Roots Radio (after the show went out live on Wednesdays, I’d send a recording of it to BRR and they’d air it at the weekend), so I asked the station owner, Stevie Connor, if he'd like Roots & Fusion as an exclusive. He agreed (almost bit my hand off) and we started to work out how to do it live - with me at home and them in Canada.

     

    I bought a laptop & microphone, loaded Play It Live software, hooked up to the Canadian server and off we went. From November 2017 through to January 31st 2024 Roots & Fusion was broadcasted live & exclusive on Blues & Roots Radio, every Wednesday. As BRR was internet based, the audience was worldwide. There were listeners who tuned in from Australia while getting their kids ready for school as well as some in Estonia who stayed up very late to listen. In Canada it was a drive time show… I’ve been told the audience figures were around a thousand listeners per show, which is nice.

     

    At the end of last year, I was presented with the Blues & Roots Radio Presenter of the Year Award for 2023.

     

    Stevie Connor then decided that he was going to wind up BRR and stop broadcasting at the end of January 2024, which was a bit of a shock.

     

    Roots & Fusion was the very last programme to be broadcast on Blues & Roots Radio, going out live on Wednesday 31st January before radio silence. After 10 years of BRR and 15 years of R&F, it was a bit emotional.

     

    Still, the show must go on… A group of presenters who had shows on BRR formed a new station, originally just to replicate the Friday schedule – hence the name Folk Friday Radio. It soon added more shows and more days, with Roots & Fusion going out live again from Wednesday 13th March. At some point in the future there may be a name change – I have suggested Independent Roots Radio. We’ll see…

     

    So there you have it, an international, award winning radio show, broadcasting from my music room in Rainow.

     

    Roots & Fusion – “welcome to the journey…”.
