Red Hot Rhythms moves to Thursday

My Red Hot Rhythms show for Radio Cardiff is moving to Thursday nights at 8pm starting from next week, July 14.

It's a better night of the week for an upbeat mix of funky jazz, blues, roots, world music, rock'n'roll and more - there's also a chance it'll be a long term slot and not just filling in for the summer.

Thanks to everyone who's been supporting the show - you can hear the latest edition right now at www.djandyroberts.co.uk for a taste of what to expect.

You can also see and hear the show live online at www.radiocardiff.org
