The BCB Sessions

About Me


As the name suggests, The BCB Sessions features specially recorded sessions by bands that are either based in or around the Bradford area or are playing there (we have been know to stretch a point and let Leeds-based stuff in on the fun). These sessions are then carefully transported on a velvet cushion to a lavishly equipped radio studio and broadcast by BCB 106.6FM to properly tuned radios in the Bradford area or at www.bcbradio.co.uk on properly internetted computers.
Also featuring the choicest new and forthcoming releases and a local gig guide for the week ahead.
