THAT LOCAL SHOW - Stratford Community Radio

Wow! What a great bunch of guys! I would like to say a big thanks to everyone involved with the show. Its a buzzing and vibrant show that appeals to a younger age with music and topical chats!

This was officially my first appearance on radio - all coming from the guys seeing me busking in Stratford back in October.

I spent a couple of hours with the guys on the show - playing two songs in the recording studio and then being interviewed. Phil Middleham used his expert skills to oversee the recording process, I can honestly say I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.

Being able to hear the whole thing back on a podcast is also great, thanks very much guys. I look forward to doing more with you in the future and wish you the best of luck with the show.

My own track - Smile (as recorded in Stratford) has now been added to my own profile. The podcast of my slot on the show can be found by going to www.myspace.com/thatlocalshow then following the link.
