New efestivals radio show launching tonight 7pm

[Dog Burger]

For those of you who haven't listened to efestivals radio before or the tiny minority who may have listened to my Glastonbury show last summer, we're launching a new show "The Mixtape" from 7-9 every Monday. Tonight's show is a bit of a trial run, while we iron out technical difficulties, try not to press the wrong buttons and find our feet again. Eventually the show will have a presenter (me), we'll be taking requests and there will be differently themed shows.

The basic premise, though, is recreating the beloved festival mix tape. I'll be playing as diverse a mix of music as possible and I'm very much open to any requests.

You can listen at http://radio.efestivals.co.uk from 7-9pm tonight. Please do leave your requests here or in the chatroom later on, bare with us through any teething problems and enjoy the show. Let's chase some winter blues away - after all it's only five months 'til Glastonbury....
