It's been a while since I have contributed but I visit the site often.

I wanted to let those of you who enjoy country music know about the show I have been doing now for three years on Uckfield FM, a small FM station in the UK that can be heard around the world on the internet at www.uckfieldfm.co.uk

The show is called "Paul Hazell's World Of Country" and it is a little different as I cover all eras and genres of country music from the 20s to the present day and from cajun to rockabilly, gospel to bluegrass, Australian Bush Ballads to yodelling and just about anything else inbetween! I include tracks by country performers from USA, Canada, mainland Europe, Australia, New Zealand,South africa, etc. The show's purpose is to introduce as many people as possible to the true diversity of country music.

The show goes out on fortnightly Sunday evenings from 9pm-midnight UK time, so that is Sunday afternoon in USA and Canada and Monday morning in Australia and New Zealand. I always welcome listeners offering comments, dedications or feedback and they can do this by emailing the studio at

studio@uckfieldfm.co.uk

or by joining in the "chat room" on the station website. I have regulars in USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, mainland Europe, Ireland, etc as well as the UK and they often "chat" together during the show.

I also occasionally feature "special" sections on particular artistes or themes. Some of these are available to "Listen Again". Amongst these are a 95 minute interview with the late Slim Whitman and son Byron, 2 x 3 hour shows with Frank Ifield, a show featuring a 90 minutes special on NZ country music, a 90 minute interview with Busker Diane Hunt, a 3 hour show with Australia's Wayne Horsburgh and another with acoustic duo Barber and Taylor.

If you use the following link, you can see some of my recent playlists and find the shows that are available to listen again.

I would be delighted to hear from anyone that is prepared to give it a try and will be pleased to read your comments. Please feel welcome to visit the chat room or email the studio

By the way, it is a community station - I am not paid to present the show, I just love the music!

Thanks to all...Paul
