The Radio 3fach-Sessions from 2000 to 2002. The Roots Connection on the rotation program of Radio 3fach.
Radio 3fach jingle: “Rotation – The Roots Connection presents: News from the world of Ska music”. The jingle was done in the studio at Radio 3fach.
I made this logo for my website in 2000:
In 2000 the program is broadcasted on Sunday from 6 to 7 PM at 97.7 mhz for Luzern and around. It has approximately 300 listener.
Radio 3fach is also known as Radio 3 x or three times. I have an introduction by Gaz Mayall and one by Rico. Gaz is using “three times” and Rico is using “dru fuk” because in Swiss-German 3fach is spoken as “drü fuk”.
All the discogs-links are heading to the release I have in my collection and show where the music comes from. All the cover pictures are taken from discogs.com.

The real live program changed a bit from the list above. But the list contains a lot of the material that is used. There is a lot of additional material used in the program. The Dandy Livingstone original of A Message To You and tracks from Man From Wareika and so on… and of course all the Swiss connections with Peeni Waali, Lee Perry, NoF-NoF… and yes, this is the first time I use interview material in a live program. The technique is not easy and I am all alone in the studio live.
And exclusive pre-release from Get Up Your Foot (discogs) which actually was released in March 2001.
