Martin & Heather first started broadcasting together in 2010 with a popular Blues Show for a Community radio station based in Surrey. Heather trained with Radio City in Liverpool and has assisted with some programmes on Radio Jackie 107.8 in south west London.

Heather both produces and co-presents on the Roots Collective and has a big impact on the music and style of the show. Her weekly gig guide provides valuable what’s on information for Red Kite Radio listeners. Heather’s passion for live music spills over into radio and she previously organised many live sessions and guests; something she hopes to repeat in the future.
