Stay tuned to Gateway in the coming months as we’ll be hearing more about the event itself – and, all being well, we’ll try to head down to the event on September 14th to bring you more local coverage on Gateway.

For your trip back in time:

And that’s about it! Obviously I played a load of great music which you can hear again on the Gateway listen again service, here!

That’s your lot for this week. Keep listening to Gateway, and I’ll be back with you soon! 🙂
