			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bob (King of the delta blues) has quit his job and is about to set off on an eight  month trip with his wife Gemma to India and Central america. While away he is going to be doing some work for Aid camps international and its  partner NGO, Social Change and Development (SCAD) in Tamil Nadu, India  to help provide English classes to trainee teachers and staff at its  technical college whilst also sharing his professional skills as a design  and technology teacher.</p>
<p>SCAD supports over 300,000 people in two  districts to free themselves from a life of grinding poverty and debt to  one of hope and opportunity through education and training. He is raising  funds for the project on behalf of the charity.</p>
<p>The initial target is £500 but he would love to manage a bit more.</p>
<p>Gemma is running a half marathon to raise cash but Bob&#8217;s knees are too shot  for that, so he is going to attempt an eight hour all-nighter internet  radio marathon. It&#8217;s going to be on Friday 30th July from 10pm till 6am.  Stick it in your diary.</p>
<p>As Bob digs deep in his record collection, risking back  ache and square eyes, please dig deep in your pockets and sponsor as  much as you can.</p>
<p>Bob&#8217;s donation page is here:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.aidcamps.org/robertjohnston/default.aspx" target="_blank">http://www.aidcamps.org/robertjohnston/default.aspx</a></p>
<p>More information on SCAD is here:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.salt-of-the-earth.org.uk/" target="_blank">http://www.salt-of-the-earth.org.uk/</a></p>
<p>Cheers!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our good friends at Festinho HQ have invited Purple Radio along to their fab <a href="http://festinho.com/">August bank holiday festival</a> to play some records. We&#8217;ll be providing tuneage all weekend across various stages, so we&#8217;d love to see you there.</p>
<p>Also, we&#8217;re donating all 2010 profits from the sale of Purple Radio clothing at <a href="http://purpleradio.dizzyjam.com/">Dizzyjam</a> to the good people at Festinho who&#8217;s ace festival is in aid of the Action for Brazil&#8217;s Children Trust (ABC), which is dedicated to helping the most vulnerable children and young people of Brazil.</p>
<p>See you in a field (hopefully in a nice new t-shirt), soon.</p>
<p>Cheers</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My monthly Steel City Loungecore shows are available for download via Soundcloud.</p>
<p>Due to space issues on my account (cheapskate that I am), there is only room for two shows to be hosted at a time, so I will be taking the oldest one down each time I post a new one.</p>
<p>As of now, the <a href="http://soundcloud.com/theonlym/steel-city-loungecore-with-the-only-m-24th-june-10">June</a> and <a href="http://soundcloud.com/theonlym/steel-city-loungecore-with-the-only-m-july-10">July </a>shows are available &#8211; the June show will disappear when the August one is uploaded and so on&#8230;</p>
<p>If anyone wants any of the previous mixes just contact me and I&#8217;ll sort something out for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Purple Radio, friends and family are having a Summer shindig in a beautiful corner of South Warwickshire, 10 minutes from the Cotswolds and Stratford-upon-avon. </p>
<p>Here’s what is happening.</p>
<p><strong>Fri 25th June</strong> – pitch tents, a few beers, wander to a local boozer, hang about. No big party. No food so bring your own or eat out. LIMITED TO THE FIRST 40 PEOPLE TO PAY.</p>
<p><strong>Sat 26th</strong> – arrive, pitch tents.</p>
<p><strong>12 noon til 12 midnight</strong> -  music  in a great outdoor space. Two 10m Indian teepees mean it’s weather proof and top fun. DJs, live music and general lounging about. Home cooked dinner.</p>
<p><strong>Midnight – 2am</strong> – late night music in the barn for the late night crew. It’s a cramped but ace space. Make for a great party.</p>
<p><strong>Midnight onwards</strong> – bonfire for those what don’t dance</p>
<p><strong>Sunday 27th</strong> – home cooked breakfast, from pigs and hens who sleep yards away. Tea, coffee and lazy morning music. More lounging.  Clear off about lunchtime (and in plenty of time to catch the England game in the local boozer if you so wish.)</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 543px"><img src="http://www.purple-radio.co.uk/ftp-images/other/talton-chill.jpg" alt="This could be you." width="533" height="176" /><p class="wp-caption-text">This could be you.</p></div>
<p><strong>Cost:</strong> £35 inc evening meal and breakfast. Kids 5 -14, £10.</p>
<p><strong>Sleep:</strong> bring a tent.</p>
<p><strong>Wash &amp; wee:</strong> Lovely, newly built cedar loo and shower block. Hot water all day.</p>
<p><strong>Want to come?</strong> Then get in touch &#8211; but make it quick, just nine places left.</p>
