Ridings FM continues to show its commitment to the up and coming music scene with the Local Music Update, every Thursday evening at 9.15pm.

Now in its second year, and hosted by Andy Philpott, the Local Music Update features music news, a gig guide and information on bands currently playing the local circuit. The slot features a band of the week giving artists the chance to have their music played on air. The show has already played tracks from over 60 local artists and bands.

Any solo artists, duos or bands who would like to be featured on the Local Music Update should send material and information to:
