A new flame has come

A new home and a new name. Come join me each Sunday evening from 7pm - listening details are on the radio station's website.

This blog will be updated no longer but will remain online. Thank you.

That was then, this is now

Q The 80s has come to an end, following the decision by Bauer Media to discontinue Q Radio.

Thank you for reading this blog which, along with the Soundcloud page, will remain active, and especially thank you for listening to the programme. Hopefully it will re-emerge somewhere else soon.
