RADIO SHOWS & MIXTAPES
Yes, you read that right, Silent Radio does have a radio show, and yes, we do get the irony of it.
We’ve been off air for over 2 years, but with the current situation we thought we’d give you some new shows and new music to listen to. Aren’t we kind!
*****************
The Silent Radio Show 17/12/2016 - The Alternative Christmas Special
Our usual format of playing the acts currently out on tour and playing in Manchester has been thrown aside due to that time of year when very few gigs taking place. So, to give you something good, we plunged the depths of our music knowledge to find you Christmas songs with a difference. None of the trite twee stuff you hear while out Christmas shopping that makes you want to smash the shelves up and give up on Christmas altogether.
Delve in and allow us to save Christmas for all music lovers everywhere. Enjoy.
The Silent Radio Show - live every Saturday afternoon 3-5.
Discover your new favourite.

Between September 2011 and March 2020 we provided a handpicked gig guide every month without fail. It's painful for us that there are currently no gigs to recommend. We hope gigs will return soon to bring you new recommendations, but if you want to reminisce you can still see nine years worth of old gig guides.
