    Enjoying this Buddy Holly documentary and the local Cornish rockabilly show that preceded it. The dream of the 50s is alive in Kernow!

    Don't tell me there's anything you'd rather do than listen to Radio Cornwall on a Saturday night! I grew up with Radio Cornwall on all the time in the house so for me, this is living the dream.

    Something exciting is coming soon from us...and you can hear a taster of it on BBC Radio Cornwall tomorrow evening from 8pm!

    tQ has now been alive for about 1/6 of the time NME was going, I am very proud of this but at the same time we're being screwed by social media & Google. PLEASE HELP!

    I’ve barely glanced through the Uncut Glam special, but already have now witnessed possibly the greatest photo of all time. I’ve seen cropped versions and thought ‘ooh’ but now see the effect was created by an assistant puffing a couple of snouts at the side. Amazing.
