Fwd: Mbira legend Linos Magaya & his band @ Lewes' All Saints this Friday 8 July
Amy Riley
Would anyone be interested in doing some interviews for our show in Lewes tonight for Radio Reverb?
Melita Dennet from BBC is running a weekly show for Reveb & she's looking for producer assistants to help produce content for the show. This is a fantastic opportunity generally - I'll be sending out further details very shortly!
She said that if anyone covers tonight, she can include it in her weekly slot. If you are interested, please email me back - I can send you the 1 page spec & her contact details.
Best wishes
Amy

Countdown Social Club’s resident DJ is Lewes-based Kenyan DJ Task (Tony Kalume), who runs Saturday Safari at Pelham Arms Pub in Lewes. He will be playing uplifting reggae, sunny Latin vibes, deep dub and anything else to get the dance floor moving.
