The Pete Feenstra Feature (Sundays, 20:00) regularly explores in some depth a specific artist and/or album. Occasionally the artist will select their favourite tracks that have influenced and inspired their own music over the years. Recent interviews have included blues rock guitarists Big Boy Bloater and Robin Bibi. On Sunday 3 April there is the first part of a two-part special with David Randall chatting to pop/rock vocal legend COLIN BLUNSTONE. Colin plays UK dates from 15 April and this special feature allows listeners to catch up with his back catalogue, from The Zombies via solo work to collaborations with Alan Parsons, in a career that has spanned over 50 years. Recent interview/features are now available via our Mixcloud page. More information Also available via Mixcloud is an hour long special reflecting the work of one of pop's great innovators who died recently: George Martin. Best known for his time with The Beatles, the feature also included his production work with bands such as Stackridge and with Jeff Beck in the 1970s. Listen again How can we help?
