Get Ready to ROCK! Radio: On Air!

Since May we have been testing our new radio stream, and inviting feedback.

Scheduled for full launch in October 2008, we are currently sequencing a variety of music including continuous rock, folk, progressive, melodic and blues.

This is "music you want to hear" and "programmed by enthusiasts not accountants".

We're streaming Mon-Fri 06.00-midnight BST (GMT+1) and Saturday/Sunday midday to midnight. (BST, GMT+1)

You can contact us via email radio@getreadytorockradio.com with your thoughts and requests.

More information is available at www.getreadytorockradio.com
