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 *

Update on the guests for the comeback retrospective White Labelled City in the amended post.

** ITS BACK **

After numerous people asked for me to bring the show back, I’m working on a retrospective edition of White Labelled City as a companion piece to the shows that recently got re played on DFM. I may do other editions of the show but it’ll be different in format if that takes place with a focus on interviews from people whose music I choose to play.

I’m hoping to broadcast the show in mid October obviously via DFM, updates on the progress to come.

The confirmed guests on the come back show are Lee Baldwin , Tom Kirton, Owen Adams , Grace Price, Lee Hyett, Olivia Flenley and Ian Luther

Making good progress on The White Labelled City Retrospective, I've interviewed 6 guests who I approached to come on. Made a start on the track listing, ordered some new jingles which need audio processing. I'm really happy with the progress I'm making overall and pleased with the input from people who have contributed.
