We’ve got a brilliant special guest joining us live on air this evening — Rhiannon Paige
Rhiannon is a Bristol-based singer-songwriter who has been making a real name for herself on the UK country scene, bringing together country, pop and rock influences with a powerful voice and plenty of personality. From BBC Introducing and national radio play to sold-out headline shows and major festival appearances, she’s been building an impressive career in a relatively short space of time.

This evening, we’ll be talking with Rhiannon about her journey so far, the steps, hard work and determination that have gone into developing her career, and some of her recent performances and experiences on the live music circuit. She has performed alongside some huge names and has continued to grow her audience through both live shows and her music online.
We’ll also be chatting about her brand-new music, including a new song that’s coming out soon, and what listeners can expect from Rhiannon as she continues to develop her sound.

Join us live on air this evening Suffolk Sound, online (https://suffolksound.com) or on the app (download the App from your App Store) from 8pm till 10pm. See less

A very sad day to hear of Dolly's passing. But just like so many music icons her music transcends time and will live on. What a legacy she created.
