The Friday Night Blues Show is a trip through the wonderful world of the blues. Blues music comes in many styles and can be happy or sad, slow or fast, loud or soft. I cover all these on each program through a wide range of artists, so you can't guess what's coming up often I don't know as well! I aim to get listeners interested in the blues or allow aficionados access to music that is not really broadcast through commercial radio. The real buzz I get out of this show is that I can let others enjoy my music.MORE Email ****@arrowfm.co.nz
