Just one week to go until my brand new radio show debuts on Overton Radio.

"I Like The Sound Of That" is going to be a show full of great music. From tracks you haven't heard in years, to songs you'll have never heard before, and all that's great inbetween.
It'll also be the home of the "musical alphabet" and tracks from Overton's local bands and singers, and a few other surprises as well!

Join me Wednesday evenings from 7pm-10pm (repeated on Sundays from 5pm-8pm) on Overton Radio
