The new series of ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Swindon and ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Wiltshire's weekly radio show UNDERGROUND continued with the second programme in the run on Sunday November 20th.

 | | Grant from Iron Hearse |
On this week's show, presenter Daniel Garrett invited Grant and Chris from Swindon stoner/doom rock merchants Iron Hearse into the studio. They talked about their forthcoming self-financed debut album and how they came to win a coveted slot on the Doom Shall Rise IV festival in Germany set for next Spring. Daniel also played a couple of their most popular tracks. In the Movers and Shakers slot, Martin Ranscombe from Swindon's Rockschool and The Drum Club dropped in to talk about how by getting involved, budding young musicians in Swindon can gain valuable experience of playing and writing music in a band scenario. UNDERGROUND roving reporter Will Walder was out and about again, and this time he was at The Big Gig in Chippenham on Friday 18th with local bands K'Gari and Reverb. He found out how the live music scene in the small Wiltshire town has improved in the last 12 months. And in the 'The Buzz with Buswell' slot, local musician and Wiltshire music scene man-in-the-know Shaun Buswell gave a rundown of all the best gigs taking place around the county over the coming week.
