So it's over - Improv, like football isn't coming home...

That's a rap for Towards The Margins. It's been a lovely 3 1/2 years hosting the show and I'd like to thank everyone at FutureMusicFM for the love and support, to the labels and musicians that sent me stuff to play and most of all the listeners to the show.

It's been a gas but time to get my Sunday evenings back.

lots of love

Shaun xx
