Rebecca May to host new Saturday edition of New Music Generator

Cambridge 105 Radio is confirming its commitment to music that’s Live & Local with a second weekly edition of New Music Generator, the programme that showcases the best in local talent.
NMG Saturday will be broadcast live from Cambridge 105 Radio’s Gwydir Street studios and presented by Rebecca May, the former host of BBC Music Introducing in Cambridgeshire, who is returning to Cambridge 105 Radio.

Starting October 7, NMG Saturday will be broadcast from 4pm to 6pm and will be available afterwards on major podcast platforms and at cambridge105.co.uk.

Local bands will be invited to play live in the studio and Rebecca will also feature the latest releases and downloads from artists in the East.

New Music Generator with Tim Willett will continue each Wednesday night at 7pm, giving performers even more opportunities to be heard.

Rebecca May, Presenter NMG Saturday, said: “I’m really looking forward to sharing new, local music with listeners to Cambridge 105 Radio. I’ll be playing music from some of the established artists on the Cambridge music scene and hopefully discovering a few new ones along the way.”

Tim Willett, Presenter, New Music Generator, said: “As anyone who attended the 10th Anniversary NMG Awards will know, East Anglia has a wealth of musical talent, to the extent it was sometimes difficult to fit in to a single two-hour show. I’m really looking forward to working with Rebecca again.”

Julian Clover, Editorial Lead, Cambridge 105 Radio said: “It’s fabulous to welcome Rebecca back to Cambridge 105 Radio, her true home. At a time when local radio is under pressure, it’s more important than ever to give listeners truly local content and what better way to do that than with live music.”
