 ️ ️ This
week on Radio Free London for
July 4th ,2022 
 The Sunday Service from St.
James Westminster and my first field recording from an indie scene
music event in over 2 years!
Details:
Last week, St. James held a special Sunday
Service to commemorate National Indigenous Day. Reverend Hana Scorrar
presided over the Service and appropriately so as her ministry now
includes overseeing Parishes in Indigenous communities.
This is also the last time you'll get to hear the St. James Westminster
Choir until September as the Church will be starting a summer schedule
with only one Service at 9:30 a.m. this weekend.
For the first time in over two years, I've
made a field recording of the indie scene in their natural habitat!
In this case it was at the Palasad
Socialbowl on Oxford and Adelaide which seems to be filling the
huge void left behind with the closing of Call The Office, a leading
music venue for decades in London, Ontario!
The Palasad Socialbowl is, as the name vaguely suggests, a bowling
alley. A few of the lanes have been absorbed to make more room for the
social part. I was worried that the sounds of balls hitting hardwood
and pins being pummeled would overpower the music but it only added a
nice patina to the sound... when you could hear them at all!

For the remainder of the show, I'll
bookend this newest indie field recording with the last two indie
events I had the pleasure to record in February and March of 2020, just
before we were all sent home by the Covid 19 Pandemic.
Both took place at B-13, a unique space just east of Adelaide on Dundas
with a dozen mico shops, a record store and a coffee bar.
Unfortunately,
MixCloud
doesn't provide a direct method to download
their content. But where there's a void, someone will figure
out a way to fill it!
If you really want to download these podcasts, there are
various ways that this can be accomplished:
I found a
handy page that covers these various ways for Firefox and Chrome web
browsers as well as a web based form that'll work for everyone else. Go
