Here’s what’s on FABULOUS 4LEGS Radio

7am – 9am The Pete Brady Breakfast Show

This week Pete’s featured band at 8:00 is Simply Red. Formed in Manchester in 1985, the band have had 10 Top Ten singles and 5 No. 1 albums in the UK charts with sales of over 50 million albums globally. As usual, the rest of the music mix is designed to start your day in “happy” mode. Don’t miss it!

9am – 12noon Yabber Yabber with Chris Capel

Cy Grove from the NAWT at Trindledown will join Chris to give the latest news and events happening at the Animal Welfare Centre. Also in the studio will be Newbury College Media Student Jack Simmons who’s been gaining work experience at 4LEGS Radio over the past few weeks. Jack will be helping to run the radio desk and will be talking to Chris about his aspirations and playing some music of his choice. The final guest is Nathan Horrocks from Equine productions. Nathan caught up with Chris earlier in the week from his new home in California to talk about a film he’s made called “The Fall” which focuses on mental health in the Racing Industry, which will be broadcast on Sky later this year. There’ll also be nuggets of useful information, local event news, Chris’s brand of music and what the experts are saying about England’s chance of winning Euro 2020 on Sunday. Enjoy!
