More Great Music Guests Appear on Alpha Sessions
Radio Brockley’s “new music” show, the Alpha Sessions continues to welcome more amazing artists to the studio. The show’s YouTube channel has had over 13,300 views, and selected sessions are now also available to download via podcast at all the leading podcast sites.
The programme, hosted by Emma and Alan Joyce, plays out on Radio Brockley on Friday evenings at 8pm and on Sundays at 6pm. Together with Ron Laver, they have put together around 150 sessions since the show first started back in 2008. The new decade promises many more great sessions, with guests already lined up until the spring / summer.
