RFSW (Radio Free South West)

The mission of "Radio Free South West" (RFSW) is to introduce listeners to unsigned singer-songwriters and bands from the South West of England.
Radio Free South West is more than just an Internet radio station. It represents a community of bands/artists who have chosen to promote themselves as a group, rather than just individually. Whereas a single band/artist is limited by their own resources, a community concept creates new promotional opportunities for participation. Cross-linking, gig-sharing, and showcases are all part of the vision that drives the Radio Free South West project.
The founder of Radio Free South West is Exeter based singer-songwriter Stuart Wills . Over the years Stuart had seen many talented singer-songwriters and bands at open mic nights and gigs around the South West who he thought deserved a bigger audience. He therefore decided that he would do his bit in promoting music from the Region by setting up Radio Free South West.
