Show ditched by Resonance: click here to read more…

safety-artIt would seem that by design or by oversight the Mr Trick & Wrongtom Show has been summarily dropped from the Resonance FM schedule. Sadly, the first we learned of this was when someone forwarded us a newsletter they’d received from the show replacing us; nobody from the station has contacted us and hence we’re still none the wiser as to whether this is some kind of mistake on the station’s part, or a case of “we thought we’d rest you – did nobody tell you??”.

Either way, this means that the show we’d prepared for tonight will not now happen.

Personally, I’m gutted; having missed the final two shows of the year in December through illness, and then having to cancel last week’s show because we were snowed in, I was beyond excited to be getting back on air tonight. We love doing this show and particularly hearing from all our listeners – even when they’re telling us to shut up and move on, or stop playing Meshuggah. Again. Having gained a somewhat sturdy following that reached as far as Portland Oregon (yes Jen – that means you!), we felt we were onto something.

For now though, we would only ask one thing of you: if you would like to see us back on-air, please do drop Ed Baxter, the station manager for Resonance FM, a polite email enquiring why the show is no longer on-air. Please don’t get abusive; that won’t help us – quite the opposite. We just feel this should be positive: if you want the show back, let ‘em know and maybe they’ll reconsider the situation. You can email Ed on ed@resonancefm.com

Alternatively, if you’re a radio station looking for two presenters… drop us a line!

here’s to the future – er, preferably one where we are still on air somewhere ;-)

all the best

Mr Trick

    Just found out the show has ended. Gutted really as it was a good insight to music. Some shit, some not, but always a good listen.

    v. disappointing

    only ever caught up on podcast but the show will be missed, where else can you hear the John Torode and Gregg Wallace of music meets Statler and Waldorf in a lift, on acid, quite possibly in space

    Thanks for the comments all. To confirm, the show is now off-air via Resonance, but this is by no means the end of the show. We’re basically assessing the options, so will be looking to back ASAP, even if only in podcast form for now ;-)

    I’ve sent Ed Baxter a polite email despite your confirmation. Best of luck with options and I hope it’s not too long that I;ll be waiting patiently for a podcast.

    Yes! Please bring the show back, in podcast form or otherwise.

    I had really been missing the show since nothing new was showing up in my podcast feed. Bad call by Resonance, and I hope to hear the two of you again soon.

    Sucks that you guys are off the air for now, but it’s probably for the best. I emailed Ed real polite, and he was kind of a prick in his response. Anyway good luck to you and I have faith that I haven’t heard the last.

    Grrr

    Not happy about this at all, and slightly embarrassed that I’d not tuned in for a hot second

    Due to the nature of the broadcasts, I was really looking forward to a Walkman teeming dvd box-set type catch-up…. [yeh, I said Walkman]

    Really hope you chaps are back on air real soon – Bring back the waffle !!!

    All the George Best for now

    Such a shame that the show has been pulled.

    You guys giving me the opportunity to play some fresh vintage vinyl discoveries for the first time, to a (held) captive audience, was a 2009 highlight.

    Here’s hoping for a new home sharpish….I’m looking forward to my 2010 invite whewn we can do it all again, sometime in December ; )

    All the best…..GB
