Host Iain McNay is joined by Head of Press & Comms; Matt Ingham for another interesting look at Cherry Red and beyond. An eclectic show as always, full of stories and anecdotes, unheard songs and fantastic anthems; this month we have plenty of rock from the likes of ELP, 10cc, Mercury Rev and Ray Fenwick. Amazing sounds from Procol Harum, Arrival and Alice Cooper, and some of our favourite songs from the new Alan McGee biopic Creation Stories.

There’s plenty more crammed into the two hour show taken from recent releases on the label or just from our own record shelves at home. As usual Cherry Red Radio brings you two hours of music inspired by one of the most eclectic and prolific labels in the world. Iain and Cherry Red are staunch supporters of buying music in physical form and where possible only play music that can be bought on CD or vinyl.
