Tommy Hunter
Every second Monday, between 4pm-6pm, Tommy takes a look at the less well-known album tracks by bands, of whom you’ll have heard their big hit singles, but know little of the rest of their back catalogue.

Fay Davidson
For guitar music with a bit of a punch just a little bit heavier than normal make sure to find Fay on-air each Monday between 6pm-8pm.

Every Tuesday evening from 4pm-5pm, Robin will be bringing you some special taster shows with music from different genres and from years gone by. You’ll be surprised by how many you know!

Greig Aird
Greig brings you the latest chart hits with a twist. Some random tunes are thrown into the mix and you can’t help but enjoy it all. As of Monday 5th July from 10am-12pm every Monday-Thursday is when you’re most likely to hear Greig during the school holidays.

Clara Thomson
Friday afternoon between 5pm-6pm is where you’ll find Clara introducing a selection of up-to-date tunes and chat, as seen through the eyes of a young island resident.

Alan Donald

SUNDAY

Ada Fisher
Rounding off our weekend broadcasting between 5pm-6pm on a Sunday is Ada Fisher who delights and entertains all in her own relaxing and peaceful way.

Our regular specialist music shows are intended encourage contributions from people of all ages who want to share their musical interests with the community.

Additional programming will, in time, include the broadcasting of live music by, and interviews with, local artists in order to raise their profile. It is our intention that the service will provide more publicity for local events and activities, thereby increasing community participation.

Yearly there will be specialist programmes broadcast during Bute’s internationally renowned Jazz Festival and other such events, so as to allow people who may not be able to get out and about to enjoy and participate in these popular gatherings.

If you would like to make a request, for a particular song or have a dedication you would like us to put out on-air, just fill in the form below and we’ll happily put it out for you…
