Raised On Rock

20/03/2025

Hi all, hope you are all doing fine and that life is treating you well...

As some of you may be aware, I have had quite a lot going on what with my father recently being admitted to hospital a couple of times (although thank The Lord he is now back home and seemingly recovering quite well) and also Julie and I getting ready to move into our 'Forever Home' by the sea....

This has taken up pretty much most of my time and so Raised On Rock! will be off air for a few weeks. In the interim I shall of course be arranging with those good folk at 10Radio 105.3 FM to ensure that repeats of earlier shows will be broadcast during my absence from the live schedule.

I do hope to be back sometime in April or May and so, until then, thank you for your patience and for all of your fantastic support for the show for these past 7 years or so......

See ya soon!

If you missed this show when it went out live on 10Radio 105.3 FM last Friday you can catch it here on Mixcloud. Please note that, due to Mixcloud limiting the number of tracks that can be featured by one artist on any one upload (a real problem when a big part of your show is airing classic radio sessions - typically 4 or more tracks!) I have had to upload the show in two parts. Here's part 1:
