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).

"This one's for all the ladies out there..." as disco DJs are fond of saying. Every track on this week's great show, is led by a great woman. The programme is presented by a mediocre man: Magnus Shaw.

Quite where Magnus Shaw has gone, nobody can tell. But we can be pretty sure he's up to no good. Anyway, the lady with the nice voice guides you through the show for one week, and as you'd expect the quality of the music is aces.
