Unfortunately our internet connection failed for several hours today, resulting in the radio being offline for most of the day (GMT). However, we are pleased to advise that the problem has been identified and fixed by our ISP. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

5 Jan 06

Our streaming host has moved onto a new subnet. This has rectified the occasional intermittent buffering that has occurred of late and will provide improved stability in the radio stream. As a result of this, our IP Address has changed. All of the tune-in links on the website have been updated accordingly, however, if you have the radio stream bookmarked within your chosen Media Player, please be sure to re-bookmark us now !!

Very best wishes for the New Year to all our listeners !!
