Acoustic and Eclectic


Acoustic, folk and more with Richard Penguin
  • Sunday 2-3pm
  • Tuesday 1-2am

Acoustic and Eclectic will feature a varied selection of classic songwriters, acoustic and folk musicians, atmospheric artists, and bands from the past alongside some of the finest, and most interesting performers on the current national, and international scene. There will be a weekly feature on a local songwriter, band, or musician, as well as a round up of gigs, and sessions that are taking place in the Eastern region each week.


If you are a local songwriter, or you are in a local band playing mostly acoustic based music, and would like to hear your songs, or tunes aired on Future radio why not contact Richard the shows D.j on richard@futureradio.co.uk . Similarly if you are playing, or organising concerts in the Norfolk area why not get in touch, and he can announce the details of your event on the show.
