Alright!

It's the third week of the broadcast, and it's all cracking off...
This week saw the first installment of /Fresh Air's/ annual charity 
auction. Truth be told, it was only meant to run for one night but so 
many lots were donated that the auction will run again next Tuesday, 
from 8pm at Frankensteins. Check out the forums to see what is still 
available then head down next Tuesday to see the live auction, compered 
by /Fresh Air's/ very own Minster of Fun Nick Brown. Over £400 had 
already been raised for Waverley Care with rockclimbing days, cinema 
tickets, bar crawls, meals and massages still open for bidding, often 
with no minimum spend specified. Sold!

Also next week Fresh Air Live returns to put on another great 
alternative gig at Cabaret Voltaire. Found 
<http://www.myspace.com/foundtheband>, Roy's Iron DNA 
<http://www.roysirondna.co.uk> and Down the Tiny Steps 
<http://www.downthetinysteps.co.uk> are all lined up in fire drill style 
for next Thursdays's gig (28th February). Doors are at 7pm, tickets are 
£6 or £5 if you buy them in advance at next week's general meeting

New to the FAN this week is our recommended section. Check the sidebar 
for details of special events going on this week. Of particular interest 
to readers of the FAN may be the one off Music U Love night, a 
fundraiser as part of the Student Apprentice competition. Jules Moretti 
will be the guest DJ, there is free shots before 11.30pm and in the top 
room there is an open decks competition Check their facebook page for

/Fresh Air/ does podcasts! As well as being able to listen live through 
itunes you can also use that clever little program to subscribe to our 
podcasts. There's a new section on the website detailing which shows you 
can listen again, in the meantime here's a couple that the /FAN/ has 
chosen to highlight.

Show: The Cellar Door
Host: Chris Imlach
Bla bla bla: The Cellar Door plays a mix of obscure, rare, live, 
unreleased, remixed, album and b-side tracks from indie, punk, 
anti-folk, electronica, hip-hop, folk, electro, rock, and world music 
artists throughout musical history as well as the best tracks of the day 
and a liberal sprinkling of unsigned acts. Breathe. There's a bit of 
talking as well. The Cellar Door is one of the only Fresh Air shows to 
have it's own piece of poetry as a jingle. Give it a blast, by listening 
via his podcast.
Show time: Thursdays 5-6pm
Podcast: Click me.

Show:Over The Top
Host: Glenn Fischer
Bla Bla Bla: Over The Top, plays Powerpop. And you really should give it 
a chance. Expect to hear tunes from the likes of The Turnpike Down, 
Bigger Lovers, Lemonheads, Gentlemen Jesse, The Posies, Brass Ring, 
Flamin' Groovies, Badfinger, The Plimsouls and Starry Eyes. The 
presenter is one of the most enthusiastic Fresh Air members the station 
has ever seen. Check out the playlist section on the forums to hear more 
about what this kid plays, and pretty much every other section of the 
forums to hear what he has to say.
Show time: Wednesdays 2.30-3.30
Podcast. Press here, go on.

The Electric Pyjama Party is also one of numerous shows this year who 
are taking advantage of the opportunity to play out pre-recorded shows 
after Fresh Air's live schedule has finished. The Electric Pyjama Party

week. Here him star in a one off special pre-recorded show which will be

talents, their fame, their time and their bodies by teaming up to do 
some joint shows this week. Here the glorious exchange between 12.30 and 
1.30 on *Wednesday* *27th* for the 'The Pilfered Door' and between 
5pm-6pm on *Thurday 28th* for the 'Cellar Session'.

Off air too there is something new this week with the launching of the 
*Jp and Fi* shows' excellent new website. On it there are plenty of 
videos, in-depth running orders and playlists for each show, forums for 
requests and comments, information on bands they love, links to their 
facebook and bebo groups, his and her matching dressing gowns and, a 
cuddly toy. The FAN may have embellished certain details of the new 
website, but not the bit about it's excellence. Check it out at 
www.jpandfi.com <http://www.jpandfi.com>.

There's also new material up on our own website 
<http://www.freshair.org.uk> this week. Click on the music 
<http://www.freshair.org.uk/music/> section of the website to see the 
latest reviews of gigs in Edinburgh. *Morrisey *and *Aesop's Fable* both

thought of them by clicking here <http://www.freshair.org.uk/music/>.

This week's free track 
<http://www.freshair.org.uk/newsletter/beth_wilmshurst_-_castle_walls_%28live%29.mp3> 
is by Stirling based singer songwriter Beth Wilmshurst 
<http://www.myspace.com/bethwilmshurst> who recorded this track live on 
Fresh Air earlier this year.
Beth Wilmhurst brought her delicate mix of acoustic and gentle electonic 
tunes to the Connect Festival last year and also supported an impressive 
list of other alternative artists including Willy Mason, Newton 
Faulkner, The Aliens, Frank Turner, Luke Leighfield & Sam Isaac this 
past year. Last week she made her debut on Radio One as part of their 
special on Scottish female artists. Her interview is available to hear 
again, right here <http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/vicgalloway>.
Currently Beth is playing a number of acoustic shows across Scotland. 
Her next live gig will be at Bar Bloc on Bath Street in Glasgow on the 
25th February where she'll be performing along with I See Shapes.
