The Melting Pot with Stuart Hatfield

Every third Sunday of the month, 4pm

Stuart Hatfield brings you two hours of music that refuses to sit still. The Melting Pot draws from soul, reggae, pop, rock, and beyond – moving freely between decades and genres without apology.

One show might take you from Bob Marley to The Carpenters, from T.Rex to Tracy Chapman, from Dexys Midnight Runners to Diana Ross. The only rule is that every track earns its place.

If you like music that surprises you, this is your show.

Tune in every third Sunday of the month at 4pm on Harrogate Community Radio.
