Of the back of the recent White Labelled City retrospective, I’m going to try a new approach to the radio show I was primarily known for in Gloucestershire playing the best of the recent and current submissions I get through on my regular Monday night slot, The Ultimate Music Stash via the feature The Unsigned Music Basement and diving into the White Labelled City box of delights we had during the time I was involved with Forest Of Dean Community Radio. The new approach to the show will have one guest per edition with the aim to focus on the artist individually as a musician.

Around 18 months in the planning going over numerous ideas of what to do with the show I was primarily known for in terms of bringing it back and then a further 4 months of sticking it together with all the elements I’ve gathered this White Labelled City retrospective special has tasted my patience numerous times and if it wasn't for the involvement of Olivia Flenley it would have been scrapped. But we are nearly there to broadcast this special, after 16 years away a returning edition of White Labelled City with hopefully elements that made the show unique and to the 26th anniversary when we originally launched it in Sedbury as part of a restricted station radio licence ( RSL ) to test the want and need for community radio in The Forest Of Dean.

Monday, 10th of November and repeated on Monday, 17th of November at 8pm via DFM www.dfm.org.uk * additional repeats of the show are also planned * guests as well as Olivia are Tom Kirton Ian Luther Lee Hyett Grace Beck, Owen Adams and Lee Baldwin * next week I'll announce the track listing for the show *
