Ali O'Brien's 'Sounds of Folk' has its tenth anniversary in May 2012, but more than half that time has been on Oldham Community Radio 99.7fm, and we find it a much friendlier place to be! Just like the Beeb, we can be accessed online, but unlike the Beeb, our 'Listen Again' goes back a few months, not a week... |
