Preston Reggae Festival
Local dub poet Prince Marley stopped by the Preston FM studio yesterday to chat about his poetry and hopes for the Preston Reggae Festival, planned for this summer.
The Sound of the Underground
Dr Hoffmann aka Norbert Papp spent the first half of the new millennium building a reputation as one of the most sought after events promoters in Hungary, his renowned Techno nights pulling in crowds of over a thousand people per night.
