Sundays, 9–10pm

Sounds From The Wilderness is a free-ranging thrill-ride through the wildest and most wonderful music emanating from the studios, stages and netherworlds of Wiltshire, Somerset and beyond...

Every week Mick  presents a selection of music from, or connected to, our local area. Expect to hear everything from indie-pop, punk and rock'n'roll to hip-hop, techno and drum'n'bass, plus plenty of unclassifiable stuff where the real magic happens... repeated on Thursdays at 3pm.

LATEST EPISODE

#175 Sounds From The Wilderness 01 June 2025

40 years on, SFTW remembers the Battle of the Beanfield that took place on this day in 1985. There is testimony from those that were there as well as music with some connection to Stonehenge and the events of 1 June 1985. For anyone unfamiliar with what happened, I can recommend searching out the Operation Solstice documentary.

Sundays at 21:00 at www.westwiltsradio.com, repeated Thursdays at 2pm, and available to listen again afterwards.
