 Crossing Borders

My monthly radio show (1st Friday of every month) goes out this Friday, June 2nd, on North Sea Surf Radio at 9pm UK time (10pm or 22:00 in Europe) and is repeated worldwide later in the evening for America at 9pm PST (11pm CST).

The show is called CROSSING BORDERS – the official brief being “a show with guitar-based instrumental music throughout history and from around the world that utilizes some kind of echo or reverb effect on the guitar”.

This month I will be playing more tracks from that great new album by The Cruncher, so if you fancy a taster don’t miss the show. I hope you can join me – happy listening!
