HAN+FRAN
In 2024, my friend Francesca and I started a monthly radio show, called HAN+FRAN. We found a radio home on a totally brilliant independent station, LOOSE.FM, and spent some time pre-recording them, before the station opened in North Greenwich in summer 2025.
Since then we’ve been live and direct in all its glorious chaos! HAN+FRAN is a ‘magazine-style show’, playing new music, old gems, and bringing in label mates and other guests every now and then - and generally having a nice chatter.
You can read more about LOOSE on The Peninsulist, a piece rather lovingly entitled, ‘Meet the brilliant minds of LOOSE.fm’.
