Justin & Phil will be streaming the cream of local talent directly into your living room. It's a local show featuring local musicians of all ages.
So join in Saturday night with the various guests and different styles. Live music, chat and comedy every week at 6pm... All the musicians that we've had on the show are singer/songwriters so it's really nice to sit back and hear what their coming up with. Justin is a singer himself and knows how difficult it is to get noticed, which was the whole idea for the show, to let these people be heard. If your a local musician or singer/songwriter who would like to come onto the show then enmail to contactus@fodradio.org or e mail Justin direct on jsrockstar@hotmail.co.uk |
