Arts Friday

Fridays 10:30 – Midday

Presented by Chris Horsey

Covering all things Arts, Christopher J. (for Jump) Horsey calls the news, reviews and interviews giving Sydney a leisurely ‘flick’ through his audio arts magazine.

Featuring his popular ‘Fly On The Wall’ interview series, Chris also chooses from his own music collection and mixes a selection of ‘Cyberjazz’ and ‘Coolscape’ and calls it ‘FriTunes’.
