News update regarding the Paul Jones BBC 2 Radio Show to feature MIKE VERNON & THE MIGHTY COMBO and scheduled to be aired on Monday October 26th that will now be aired between19:00 and 20:00 the following week on Monday 2nd November...so please amend your diary entries!
The pre-recorded session will feature four songs and will also include an interview between Paul and Mike discussing the latter's recent return to Record Production and his somewhat unexpected appearance as the front man with his own hand-picked 'topline' bunch of musicians who make up THE MIGHTY COMBO...should make interesting listening!
