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.
