What’s happening in the local area, Traffic, Train and other Travel news. Poking fun at social media posts and occasionally him jumping on his soap box and having a good moan about stuff! Can be a grumpy old man at times!

Join Russ Smith for ‘Lunchtime Licks’ A 3 hour dive into the world of great riffs and licks, featuring the best of indie, rock, britpop and alternative music. Sharing his passion and appreciation for the music and playing the great records from over the years, from the 60s to the 2000s, with… The Beatles, Stones, Kinks, Hendrix, Led Zep, Bowie, T-Rex, Queen, Nirvana, Oasis, Blur, Suede, Ocean Colour Scene, Manics, Kasabian, Arctic Monkeys…being just a small sample of what great stuff he loves to play.

Afternoon sounds of the Sixties. Covering from 1960 to 69. Covering Pop, Rock, Soul, Motown, Northern Soul and lots more.

Driving you home, one tune after another.

Join me every Friday for two hours of Funk, Soul, Rock, Pop, Orchestral, and Movie/TV themes. Something for everyone with music that’s even louder than my shirt!!!

I play music sent by local singers and bands. I’ve a varied selection of local music to play each week, hopefully appealing to a range of listeners, who then go along to support live performances. I have local singers or bands in the studio with me who chat about their music, play acoustic songs live and choose tracks that are special to them. It’s interesting to hear how people became involved in making music, a great opportunity to really get to know them and their music, and a chance for the singers to really promote themselves. I give information about local music events coming up and list a range of genre, venues and prices so there should be ‘something for everyone’. If you would like to have your music played on the show, be a guest or have a shout-out for your music event then please do get in touch.
