Welcome to Bothy Radio
Requests
No negative vibes, just peace and love through good tunes is the core philosophy behind Bothy radio - good music from all genres but with a lot of Scottish and Irish Music at the heart of our broadcasts. We do not promote any political ideals through the music we play and seek to showcase good music from this part of the Celtic world. We also do not support any form of intolerance and promote great music from the decades.
While very few stations play Scottish
Folk Music and Celtic sounds, Bothy
radio always will. In fact, over 60
percent of what we play comes
from Scottish artists and bands.
Enjoy the music and stay awesome !!!
Slainte Mhath, Piper

About Us
Piper, Paul and Artemis currently hold the fort but we are eternally honoured to have had some amazing DJs working alongside us as they brought their music to you.
For streaming, the station uses Virtual DJ 5 Pro and Serato Pro DJ feeding into a 24/7 feed from Mixstream. Artemis is the autodj from mixstream.net using uninterrupted streaming with live stream cut in and transitioning. We use Shoutcast v2.5 encoding for the best sound quality.
Join Us
Club and event DJing generally does need large rigs with decks, mixers, amps, speakers, lighting and much more... but home DJing is much less complicated.
What you need is a good PC or Laptop, a reliable internet connection, some broadcast software such as VDJ or SAMs, a stream to broadcast to for listeners, and music of your choice to feed your shows.
We can provide the basic broadcast tools and provide access to our 24/7 broadcasting stream.
Slots generally cover 1 or 2 hours for your own sanity as well as the listeners. However, we also offer longer slots those who wish to feature themed events or celebration days.
