Synth Discovery Network
Presented by Tim Hardy
Since the big bang of synth and electronic based music in the 70s and 80s, it continues to fill an ever-expanding multiverse of sound. From synth pop to synth wave, industrial to techno, ambient to acid house and all the bits in between, a few synths put in the hands of brilliant creatives produces some amazing music.
Presented by Tim H this show offers you a chance to listen, discover and share the music that synths form a part of. Some tracks will be full on synth, others maybe not, but all will have something “synthy” in them.
For established or new artists, promoters and venues, there are opportunities to showcase or promote an album, track, or event, especially if its local.
An updated list of all tracks played on each show will be available online and if you want to get in touch and share some of your favourite tracks then please just go for it and contact us. Thanks for listening and being part of the network.

Dead Good Musicians
Presented by Mike Grenville
They may be dead but their music lives on. This show celebrates musicians, singers and composers whose catalog has been completed. Music will come from Great Britain, USA, France and beyond. Mostly it will be artists who have died recently but will also feature some who have been dead a while but who live on through their music.
Styles of music range from rock, blues, folk, jazz, some pop and others. As well as the music itself, there will be little insights to the artist and the music played.
If you have a particular favourite Dead Musician and would like to be a guest on the show please get in touch.
As a Funeral Celebrant and Death Doula I have a particular interest in death and dying. Bees, cycling and poetry are among my other interests. I’m also a Director of Sustainable Frome.
Hope you enjoy the show.
