Bandstand
BY CLICKING here I’m guessing you were expecting to be directed to live music via some more technical stuff that frankly is a bit beyond me. If the toolbar header said Bandstand, you might not know that either, so let me quickly explain.
Many moons ago a friend put me in touch with a local community radio station over in Nottinghamshire who were looking for radio presenters. Basically this is where my rock show Bandstand was born. It is one hour of no-nonsense rock tunes that I cobble together with a few links chucked in for good measure. You’ll hear a few hits, but mainly its undiscovered gems and album tracks from various bands, either local or global.
To put it on this site might cause a few headaches so if you know where to find me why not get in touch, and maybe we can arrange a hearing…
