The Fox’s Den Show has been a part of the Friday night schedule on Vixen 101 since April 3rd 2009.
Initially a 2-hour show, the co-hosts Bill & Jools soon found that they were running out of time and couldn’t fit all the features in that they wanted to include. So, in October 2009 the show was extended to three hours, 9pm – midnight.
Since then, the show has gone from strength to strength. Each show consists of three hours of unsigned music – local, national and international – and there is always a guest singing live in the studio, someweeks the guests are doubled up. Unlike other shows that have guests live on air, we include the guests as part of the show, giving them the full three hours on-air exposure they deserve.
Since April 2010, Jools has taken a hiatus from co-presenting every week. However, he beevers away behind the scenes looking after the podcasts, creating jingles, finding new music for airplay and he does pop in from time to time, too. Dave ‘Catweazle’ Henderson is keeping Jools’ seat warm for him, and we’ve also had ‘Celebrity Stooges’ from the local music scene co-host, too. ‘Celebrity Stooges’ include Roo Moore from Drystone Radio, Skipton, Glynn Jaine from an electronica band, Destination, Martin Peirson, from Adastra Music and Gary Hammond, percussionist from The Hut People and formerly of The Beautiful South.
The show has a very active facebook page: www.facebook.com/thefoxsdenshow where you will find up-to-date news of what’s coming up on the show. Also, if you’re unable to listen to the show on a Friday night, we podcast the whole three hours. This podcast goes live on a Sunday evening and each show is available for two weeks. You can either listen to the podcast via your web browser, or it can be downloaded as an MP3 file to play at a your leisure. The podcast weblink is: http://thefoxsdenshow.podbean.com.
