Gavin's Afternoon Alternative

Gavin's Afternoon Alternative The official page of the Afternoon Alternative on Cabin FM - Saturdays from 1pm til 4pm. You’ll also be able to get quizzical, with 'Threemetunes'.

A weekly radio show presented by Gavin Blunt on Saturday afternoons between 1pm and 4pm on Cabin FM on 94.6 on FM in Herne Bay, Kent in the United Kingdom AND on the Internet on www.cabin.fm

We begin at 1, with the Timeless Top Ten. Each week, we head back in time to count down a chart – musically from Number 10 and verbally from Number 40 - from one of the four decades from the seventies through

to the noughties and sometimes even the twenty tens! Plus, there’ll also be a look back at some great memories of the events that happened on that day's show in history, in our weekly visit to the Memory Machine. Then, from 2, you’ll hear the most Alternative mix of music, on the Radio. There’ll also be some great features to keep you entertained, including the Ticket, the Papers and the Listings. Every week, I'll play you three, apparently, random songs in a row. All you have to do, is guess the theme that links the three tunes!

Our Story

A weekly radio show presented by Gavin Blunt on Saturday afternoons between 1pm and 4pm on Cabin FM on 94.6 on FM in Herne Bay, Kent in the United Kingdom AND on the Internet on www.cabin.fm Every week on the show, you’ll hear the best music from the sixties through to today. There’ll also be some great features to keep you entertained, including the Ticket, the Papers and the Listings.

Want to hear how different one song can sound - but by two different artists? Well, every Saturday, we do just that - in the Rewind! You’ll also be able to get quizzical every week, with the Back Track. You'll hear a snippet of a Track - but played Backwards! If you need some help though, don't worry, as you'll also be given some lyrics too. All you have to do, is guess the identity of the well-known artist and song title!
