CHRISTMAS EVE

12am - 2am

Dark Entries
Lorelei Redding

Bolton FM becomes The Bat Cave this time each week with Lorelei, as she keeps you company on the graveyard shift on Dark Entries, the only specialist radio programme of its type in the whole UK! It's an extended mix of nothing but the very best of Gothic & adjacent genres of music, such as Dark/Cold Wave, Post-Punk, Deathrock, Shoegaze... A diverse range of musical history spanning the last 50 years! With classics of the genres, music from around the world, as well as new & emerging artists, you know you're just a little bit curious to see what lies in the dark...
