Local radio, particularly @BBCSurrey, supports community organisations like ours, and helps us reach more local people. Very sad if this many hours of unique local live radio end up being cut.

Plans have been announced for a shake-up of BBC local radio.
The proposals would essentially see programme sharing on a regional or national basis outside of weekdays 6am-2pm.
The priority will then be to increase local digital services.

Did you know that we love featuring living composers? @jobytalbot arranged Purcell's Chacony in G Minor to commemorate Benjamin Britten's 1963 arrangement of the same piece, and we are absolutely thrilled to open our final Centenary Season concert with it!
