This week on the show I had Thurrock based rockers, Fortify who came on for a chat.

It has been a long time coming, from knowing their band from their formation to now. They are on the verge of finding new gigs and booked to go back in the studio to record some new tunes.

You can hear the full show below where at stages we got very topical. Here is a list of the songs played on the show:

Pulled Apart By Horses – High Five, Swan Dive, Nose Dive

The band participated in the quiz and scored an impressive 16.5 which means they are second in the table. It’s starting to hot up midway through the year and with plenty of guests booked in, competition could get fierce. Here is the scoreboard.

The Steve Hooker Stomping Band – 20 points
Fortify – 16.5
Dom Clark Trio – 16
Nicola Collis – 16
Fret Bear – 15.5
Chris Robson Band – 14.8
