That is THE Mercyful Fate - the iconic Danish metal 80s band.

Originally from Trowbridge, Becky will soon be joining the band as they tour America; filling in for their usual bassist, Joey Vera.

She tells us how this once-in-a-lifetime chance came about thanks to her social media accounts, in particular her YouTube videos. Her online showcase has created a fantastic platform to show her skills as a session guitarist.

If you're into your classic metal bands, you may have already seen Becky play in one of her regular groups, Fury and Hands Off Gretel.

Our music choices this week include one of Fury's latest releases, and Kieran plays a tune from electro-pop duo, Pecq.

In our news section, we discuss the latest developments that are delaying much-needed renovation work at Swindon's Oasis Centre.
