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 also spent a year heading up the programme control team on a local radio station in Bucks.

Heather both produces and co-presents on the Roots Collective and has a big impact on the music and style of the show.  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 now we have come out of the Covid 19 lock down restrictions.

Martin has a passion for Bluegrass,  Americana, and Country, in fact anything Roots.
