The Playlist is your home for local bands, interviews and alternative music, with Julie Cottrell and Stewart Ireland.
Joining them regularly is local promoter Catherine Jackson-Smith, the woman behind live music at The Lounge Bar at Alton Community Centre, dropping in to talk all things gigs.
Expect The Hotshot (the favourite track of the week), the Legend Spot and “that’s one for the poster,” alongside strict grammar rules, merciless judgement of band names, and more bad puns and terrible accents from Stewart than anyone strictly needs.

Julie has had a long and happy career in radio, starting at Wey Valley Radio in March 1993.

Great music alongside the hour's national news, sport, business and showbiz headlines.

From a single test broadcast one winter in 1991 to a 24-hour station heard on 101.1 FM, online and — very soon — on DAB, our story is really the story of a community that refused to let its local radio disappear.
