The Whole Nine Yards Episode 154 With Roy Stannard On Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM Sunday 7th January 2024 3-5pm www.midsussexradio.co.uk/listen Freshly Picked New music is a powerful pick-me-up. It can uplift our spirits, trigger endorphins, and bring people together. Whether it’s a new album from a favourite artist or a fresh discovery from an up-and-coming musician, new music light the fuse for the year ahead.
