This week’s Rebellious Jukebox is a Garage Rock special, and Julian’s guest in the studio is Bruno Wilkinson, presenter of Frome FM show BOMP Radio Hour. Bruno is the font of all knowledge when it comes to all things garage band, proto-punk and outsider-weirdness.
Tune in to hear Rebellious Jukebox meets BOMP Radio: lots of trashy guitars, blown out amps, cheap organs and fuzz boxes, and to see if Julian can find a track that Bruno can’t identify!
The Rebellious Jukebox, presented by Julian Crawley. Thursday evenings from 8.00 until 9.00, repeated Sunday evening at 10.00.
