  • Proper music journalism!

    Well done Headliner! This is great quality music journalism on the radio. It’s great when a young magazine takes on the establishment and trumps them! The KT interview was so genuine - it great to hear proper artists speak freely about their passions and life. Well done Headliner - who’s next?
