Cloudbase Radio Show With Jonathan Ash on Medway Pride Radio

30/09/2023

So, I'm baaaack! But not in time to get a show ready for this week, so you have another opportunity to hear the Decade Roulette Special from May (as part of the Medway Pride Radio 20th Century Special) - all the info I impart to you is very out of date, but the music is timeless. Tune in from 6pm tonight.

A very special tonight (Sat) from 6pm as I expand my Roulette feature to the whole two hours - I’ll be spinning my spinny thing, it will land randomly on a decade from 1920 to 2000 and I will seamlessly cue up a song from that decade. What could possibly go wrong? Tune in and find out… Medway Pride Radio

I may be away, but Cloudbase isn't - enjoy a bit of "Playtime" with Jacques Tati and Filmtracks, a nice bit of new Joseph Malik Ramrock Records and rather a lot of funky bass lines, as it happens. Tune in 6pm tonight - especially those of you who are missing my dulcet tones this week. MedwayPrideRadio.co.uk
