Inspire Indie Radio

By Simon Henderson

Continuing a journey to support independent music that started when working for local radio we will be playing music by independent and unsigned artists, and focusing on one artist each week. We'll play tracks by the artists and talk about their history and their influences. This show was created to provide a platform for musicians to get their music out to more audiences than they already have.

This is a real project of passion for me as I feel that a lot of indie artists don't get the support that they, and their music, deserve. Please support independent music when you can.
