They're back! Hunt & Darton, the decade-long Live Art collaboration between Jenny Hunt and Holly Darton, will be returning to Merseyside this spring with their new project, Radio Local - a brand new hyper-local radio station, built with, by and for local people, telling your stories, sharing your news, playing your jingles and stay live for the duration of a day in its new home.
Be part of Radio Local in Liscard, Wirral on Saturday 20th April and in Church Square, St Helens on Saturday 29th June.

Hunt & Darton will also be inviting guest presenters to takeover for an hour to add further interest and bring some of their own ideas to the mix, get ready to welcome Victoria Melody, Lucia Scazzocchio, Rosana Cade and Sian Baxter to the airwaves! Read more about these guest presenters below.
