The GRTR! Archive

---

Over a period of 15 years we’ve amassed an archive of unique recordings, featuring and interviewing artists who have inspired us over the years.

Each hour long artist feature explores in greater depth their music and career and often playing the less familiar tracks.

Our “Favourite Tracks from Favourite Artists” sequences allow the artist to choose their own favourite tracks that have influenced and inspired their own music over the years.

Our “rockumentaries” feature a specific music-related theme, examined in some depth and with tracks to illustrate the subject matter.

Here’s a selection of specials:

Stray Special (June 2010)
Bob Harris Special (July 2010)
Can’t Slow Down: The Return Of Foreigner (May 2011)
Jon Lord Remembered (July 2012)
Tygers Tales (Tygers of Pan Tang, September 2012)
Dan McCafferty (Nazareth, June 2014)
Gerry McAvoy (November 2014)
Alan Parsons (February 2015)
George Martin Remembered (March 2016)
Graeme Taylor (Gryphon, July 2016)
