This will be worth the wait I'm sure... 😍📻
We should’ve been on air today on @localradioday! Bit of method in the madness… Just know I’m using the extra 10 days to make us sound (yeah I know!) even better. When this comes on DAB in #Liverpool it will do the city proud, I promise! 📻🎶🔥 @SoundRadioLiv
