Age Radio began life as a experimental dance duo called New Age Radio in 1987
comprising Australian keyboardist Sandra Dunn and British multi-instrumentalist
Dave Goodman. They created a fusion of ethnic psychedelia and dance.
On top of this, they placed 'spiritual sound-bites' or 'words of wisdom' -
some channelled and some from modern and ancient texts. Their
first project was '7 Seasons', comprising seven 7 minute pieces, each in a
different Greek mode. One of these, "Eastern Dreaming", was picked up for
zippy Fraser Clarke's pioneering compilation album called "Shamanarchy
In The UK" (art work by Jamie Reid - Sex Pistols' graphic designer) featuring
many seminal bands from the emerging Trance Dance scene.
New
Age Radio played at the Whirly Gig launch alongside Transglobal Underground,
Loop Guru, Banco De Gaia etc and were an instant hit. They went on to
create their own happenings around London, playing at The Seed, Megatripolis
and from 1992, they ran a 'clean energy' stage at Glastonbury Festival using
wind, solar & bicycle power. The line up was very flexible and
sometimes they would go from a ten piece back to a duo at the wave of a
bandana. Fellow members have included: Cyrung - didge, Anthony Aldridge
- violin, Jeremy Tranter - keyboards - Thomas Christen - alto sax &
percussion, Chris Leeds - drums, Vannesa - didge, Brian Lee - keyboards,
Lawrence Ball - keyboards and anyone I've missed, well you know who you were.

regrouped to play in Malta and at the 2004 Glastonbury Festival. There
are many unfinished recordings in the archives and a possible 3rd CD on its
way. Dave Goodman & Kathy Manuell currently run a studio and record
label on a tiny island in the Med and play in various bands including
