PETE FEENSTRA' S 600th ROCK & BLUES SHOW Tue 14 Oct 7pm

PETE FEENSTRA' S 600th ROCK & BLUES SHOW Tue 14 Oct 7pm UP AND COMING: Tue 14th Oct 19.00-21.00hrs Back in 2014 I was Mc’ing and DJ'ing The Skegness Rock & Blues Show and Minehead Giants of Rock, something I did for 3 years. As a result I was asked by Getreadytorockradio if I had thought about doing a radio show.  Being as I was also a rock blues promoter and reviewing for GRTR, The Blues Mag and various other outlets I saw it as a two fold opportunity to play some great music and highlight some equally great tour bands.  So hell yeah!..........►►►
