Roots and Fusion

Roots & Fusion - Voted Pure Radio's Best New Programme 2009

"...diversely beautiful..." - Sean, Pama International / Rockers Revolt

"Wow! Super line up!" - Ellen McIlwaine, slide guitar legend

"Your eclectic music show... shows again what a nonsense the pigeon-holing of music is!" - Geoff, Allan Yn Y Fan

"I tuned in to last nights show - what great mix of music you play. Looking forward to tuning in some more." - Stephen Stannard, The Rowan Amber Mill

"Great show" - Andres Roots, Bullfrog Brown, Estonia's No.1 Blues Band

"Wow. This is my kind of show." - Mary Dempster, M D Ventures Artist Management, Toronto

From Robert Johnson to Rory Gallagher, from Willie Dixon to Led Zeppelin, from Big Bill Broonzy to Walter Trout.

From Nina Simone, Aretha Franklin and the Staple Singers to Miles Davis, Billy Cibham and Carlos Santana.

From the voice of Eliza Carthy to the Uilleann pipes of Davy Spillane, from the all encompassing fusion of Baaba Maal to the traditional Yelli singing of the Baka tribe of Southern Cameroon.
