Help get Bristol station SWU.FM back on air
SWU.FM is applying for a full time FM licence, and it needs listeners’ support to make it happen.
The Bristol based radio station – which specialises in urban and electronic genres – broadcast an unmissable month of music back in May, and is now looking to make itself a permanent fixture on Bristol’s airwaves.
Local artists who appeared in the station’s initial run included Roni Size & Krust, Pinch, Smith & Mighty, DJ Die, Jus Now, Young Echo and My Nu Leng, plus forward thinking out-of-towners like Amy Becker and Om Unit.
