Bats in the Belfry

Bats in the Belfry

A traveller linguist, singer/songwriter, philosopher and photographer from Transylvania. Playing music that heals the soul and makes one a bit more aware about mental health issues. All this seasoned with friendly interviews with local artists regardless of how known or unknown they are. Live acoustic sessions. Live video streaming. I wish to make you feel connected, elevated and more aware.

Pete’s Sunday Show

Pete’s Sunday Show

Magazine style show – pop/rock/electronica music with intersticed segments: 1) Community Spotlight, featuring pre-recorded interviews with local good causes and interesting people 2) Tips and life hacks – quick and useful techniques or ways or doing things 3) Out and about: shoutouts for events and happenings in the local area 4) Ask Auntie Pete – ability for people to ask questions either live via email or in advance and get best answers on a range of topics. Tone is relaxed and fun – musical tone is upbeat and energetic without being too frenetic as it’s a Sunday. Nothing political and nothing likely to cause friction. We’re here to entertain and recognise folks doing good stuff out there!

The Joe Crow Show.

The Joe Crow Show.

The Joe Crow Show, with me presents a wide spectrum of tunes – from the late 60’s to the present day – some rock, pop, folk-rock, britpop, electronica and some contemporary-classical – and with a ‘talky bit’ here and there, there is something for everyone!

Niches and Nuances

Niches and Nuances

Presented by Zoe Elston, Niches and Nuances explores musical sub-genres from around the world with interluding interviews with local people about places, hobbies and music in and around Exeter. This is a show for the curious; join Zoe to explore new music and stories from Devon and beyond that exist on the fringes of the mainstream and spark your intrigue in new and exciting ways.

    Expect the Unexpected with Ray Hodgins

    Ewan's Mixed Bag
    With Ewan James. Playing a diverse mix of tracks that really mean something to me, and maybe generate a bit of curiosity and inspiration for my listeners. I go back and forth in time, from the 60s onwards. The sounds are rooted in underground indie, psychedelic and alternative rock. Not just things that sound good, but perhaps have interesting songwriting angles, challenge conventions, and have an emotional pull. Most importantly I'm very keen to help make people happy, or happier, in some way. So my show is hopefully an interactive listener experience - with requests very welcome!"
