Fred Hart starts Saturday by playing an eclectic music mix with something for everyone. Including regular features such as: Same Song, Different Decade, Country Crossover, and Fred’s Jukebox.

Fred Hart presents this month’s Decades Night: A Seventies Spectacular, celebrating the music of the 1970s across multiple genres. Including 3 ‘Songs for My Best Friend’ and a ’70s edition of the weekly Monday Evening Wind-Down.

This week’s Same Song Different Decade contrasts a Beatles original with a funk-infused cover by Earth, Wind & Fire; while Country Crossover explores the link between country and jazz. Plus, Fred’s Jukebox makes its debut with a personal pick from 2004, as Fred reflects on the early days of discovering a love of music and radio.

This week Fred Hart welcomes you into a warm Cotswold spring morning, with sunshine in the air and a soundtrack to match. There’s a mix of familiar favourites and less obvious choices, with music from across the decades and genres as Fred presents a selection that reflects his personal musical tastes.

Join Fred and the cats broadcasting live from home studio. This morning’s show opens in pure feel-good fashion, with a bright 1970s welcome setting the tone for a relaxed, confident start to the weekend. From there, the programme unfolds into a wide-ranging Saturday morning journey, where familiar voices turn up in unexpected settings and well-known songs are heard through fresh lenses.

Fred Hart plays an eclectic music mix with something for everyone, shaped this week around the theme Tuned In, marking Community Radio Week with an evening dedicated to songs about radio, the act of listening, and community.
