I have just launched an on-line radio station called Radio Free South West (RFSW). My mission with RFSW is to introduce listeners to unsigned singer-songwriters and bands from the South West of England. The playlist is currently made up of South West artistes as well as some classic tracks. However the intention in time is to have a playlist made up solely of unsigned singer-songwriters and bands from the South West of England.

Please drop by and take a listen!

The Vending Machine Heart is Jason Applin and me. We formed the Vending Machine Heart and started writing acoustic based songs after finding that we had a common admiration for many of the same songwriters - in particular Elliot Smith.
