Andrew's new fortnightly show, Sound bites, air's alternate Tuesday nights from 5 - 6pm just after the news.
Next week (16/10/12) he features Kiwi Crooners from the past 3 decades. Male lounge singers who wannabe in Las Vegas, some who've returned from Las Vegas, and some who're happier in Rotovegas. He may even sneak in a tune or two of his own.

While I've got your attention, two more things:

• I'd like to publicly thank Johnny from One eyed FM. That is the station that was broadcasting on the same frequency as us in Newlands and causing interference to our transmission. They shifted along the dial to 107.5FM which we really appreciate. As it happens, they have since moved the station to Blenhiem but are still streaming online and we wish them all the best.
• As part of our continued test of the new streaming technology, please let us know if you cannot play the stream at your place of work (i.e. through a Firewall) but were able to previously (with the old player).

Ok, that's the housekeeping, back to the Grooving.
