Local music day

By Chris Cornford Nov 30, 2020

Vectis Radio are dedicating the station to a local music day on December 1, and have pledged that every song played on FM104.6 and online at vectisradio.com between 10am and 7pm will have a local connection to the Isle of Wight.

The station is seeking to boost awareness of local artists who are going through a tough time because of lockdown and not being able to play live. The station has played local tracks at least once an hour for a number of years but now they want to dedicate a day to music from Island bands, singers, songwriters and record producers.

Vectis Radio station manager, Ian Mac, said: “This is a wonderful opportunity for Island musicians. They have a platform to introduce themselves to the Island and our listeners will get a day to enjoy all the best music out there. And there’s a lot of it!

“We need to support our local musical talents when they need it most … which is now.”

If you’d like your music to be part of local music day send your mp3 to ian.mac@vectisradio.fm.
