								Steve Watts – Watts On Sunday
							
								Steve’s enchanted, charismatic voice takes to the airways every Sunday nights here on HFM. A show that’s
packed full of action from the get go as the show starts with dreamy Sundays, then builds in momentum with
the official HFM top 10 charts from 20.00. The show takes a further twist from 21.00 where the entertainment

your inner most musical emotions in what can only be explained as a fun filled, light hearted intergalactic
radio show.

Definition of Odyssey - A long journey full of adventures.
