AND NOW WE ARE SIX!

At 6pm on Friday 8th September 2017, a brand new radio station, Mad Wasp Radio, hit the airwaves – and we’ve been broadcasting 24 hours a day, 7 days a week ever since.

It’s been a long journey – but an incredibly fulfilling one – and we will continue to strive to bring you the very best from across the musical board; with a particular emphasis on featuring new bands and artists, including unsigned artists who struggle to get airplay on the playlist-dominated shows of the so-called ‘major' stations.

All of us at Mad Wasp would like to thank, the fabulous and passionate DJs and presenters who have supplied us with such a wonderful variety of shows on the station. Without them we would be nothing. And, of course, a massive thanks to all the listeners for taking the time to tune into us and providing us with loyalty, support and feedback. And an extra special thanks to all who have made donations to help us with our running costs. Sadly, as we get bigger, things also get more costly but that seems to be the way of the modern world. When times are hard (as they are now for everyone) then things like donations are the first thing to fall which is totally understandable but without your donations we would be unable to continue. So if you can spare a few squiddly-diddlies to help us remain ad free and bring you such fantastic shows then please do - it is always very much appreciated.

Love and thanks to you all.

Mad Wasp Radio welcomes a new monthly show to the Wasp Nest!

8pm on the first Saturday of every month we have a new show from DJ SpaceTerrapin - Continental Drift!

Time to enjoy those wonderful longer tracks from the weird and wonderful otherworldly electronica talent so popular on DJSTs show It Came From... Enclosure Three show which can be heard at 9pm on a Sunday.

MAD WASP RADIO CROSS POLINATION! MEET SOME OF THE WONDERFUL BANDS THAT SUPPORT US!

new single from The Far North - Home Sweet Home

Out today Friday 23rd June is the latest single release on Red Lantern Records from The Far North - Songs for Healing Hearts Vol 1, which is the Second release from The Far North following 2020 debut album Songs for Gentle Souls.

Lee Wyding wanted to continue the thread of writing directly like he did on SFGS and these songs are aimed at anyone who has obviously felt love, loss, hope and despair. Lee says the songs aren’t about anyone specifically per se but the feeling we all have when we fall in love, when we get our hearts broken, when we miss someone when we feel amazing we’re full of hope.

The one exception on the EP is the song Unplayed Guitar which he wrote in tribute to his friend John who passed away in 2009, The song basically states that his life meant a lot to me and you know I’ll never forget you, and your friends won’t either.

The second EP Songs for Healing Hearts vol two will hopefully be released in the winter and it will continue this vein of songwriting. There are a lot of songwriters that I admire and a lot of them like to tell stories and I’ve always tried to be that kind of songwriter. It doesn’t come easy to me so I only write about what I know and I know an incredible amount about heartbreak, sadness and loss.

But that’s not to say this is a sad record, because the underlying thread that holds all my songs together is the fact that there’s always hope, even if it’s a smile on the tube or it’s a happy text from someone that you like there’s always hope.
