Sound of the suburbs - The Andy Scratch show on Recharged Radio

Dear Scratchers, there had been much rumour, but now, here’s the confirmation of Andy’s new monthly show for Recharged Radio, in which he aim’s to feature Predominantly but not exclusively music from the suburbs and will more than likely have some kind of Hertfordshire connection, where there isn’t one a conjuring of a dubious link will occur, like ‘We once did a gig with them and though they are all German’ We’re from Hertfordshire… get the idea? The rules is there to be broken, there shall be no barrier on great music!

The show will also feature a ‘vintage vinyl’ section where Andy and ace musical archeologist ‘Vintage’ Viney will delve into the dim distant past to unearth gems from long forgotten local(ish) bands! 

On Saturday 10th December Andy recorded the first of what will hopefully become a regular monthly live show. It was first broadcast on Monday 12th December (a soft launch… “In case it was crap!”) It is available by searching itunes for Recharged Radio and then looking for Andy Scratch - Sound of the Suburbs, we hope you enjoy it!
