AGS label boss Roger Bong recently flew across the Pacific and The Pond to bring the sunny sounds of Hawaii to the UK. He recorded his monthly NTS show, Home Grown, live from the NTS London studios, and later in the month popped into Gilles Peterson's Brownswood Basement for a special one-off broadcast on Worldwide FM (much love to the station — they're pausing their regular programming at the end of this month for a restructure).
Roger will also be joining Be With Records's Rob Butler in Manchester for a Sunday evening all-vinyl b2b session at NAM. Free and open to the public, 7pm ~ 11pm. More details here.
