Ian’s guest on Different Sounds this month is the broadcaster and founder of 7a records Iain Lee.

Iain is one of the country’s finest broadcasters and currently presents an essential late night talk show on Talk Radio. He first came to public attention in the late 1990s as co-host of Channel 4′s 11 o clock show. He is also a huge music fan.

In an extended interview with host Ian Leak, Iain talks candidly about his career in both TV and radio, the state of broadcasting in the 21st century, his record label and his deep love of music. He also shares with us a selection of his favourite tunes.

It’s another Frome FM exclusive and an essential listen. Show airs Saturday 8th October at 9pm.

Where The Water Lies is a student band of young Frome teenagers. The lineup includes Solo Ray Candy singer and guitarist, Jude Schofield Guitarist, Skye Whitty bass player and Mitchell Price on drums.  They write and compose most of their own songs with the odd cover thrown in. They are indie rock with influences from the Foals, Pear Jam, Alt J and back as far as early blues from the likes of Lead Belly. July’s FFM show will also feature a solo set, by their singer and guitar player, the aptly named Solo Ray Candy.
