It’s all about the music, in 180 minutes of new wave, indie, rock, soul, vintage classics, interviews, and many other fine things. Magnus Shaw is your host, and the entire playlist is hand-picked.
The second hour takes its playlist from the pre-1979 era, and is called ’The Vintage Hour’. The third hour is solid, lean, continuous and compelling songs, named ’The Wall Of Sound’.
Features throughout include: ’Twin Peaks’ (not the TV show), the ’Midget Gem’ (not the sweet), and 'Soul Traders' (not the tax status). A new episode is available for streaming and download at around 10.00pm UK every Thursday. This is free for all listeners
THE SHOW IS ALSO HEARD ON MORE THAN EIGHTY RADIO STATIONS WORLDWIDE, AND IS OFFERED FOR SYNDICATION.
Just email mail@magnusshaw.co.uk for more details, as this is often free for quality radio stations (particularly on FM, AM, and DAB).
