​​​​​​Col Howarth - Radio Host

 

Col is the host of the radio show Planet of Sŵn on www.SW20Radio.co.uk.

​

The show celebrates the incredible grassroots and independent music scene in Wales: the music, the record labels and the iconic venues in a cross-genre indie pick and mix. The show has been live since November 2024 and airs every fortnight on Thursdays from 7-9pm.​​​​​​​​​​

​​

In the show's first two years Col has been granted press accreditations for music festivals such as FOCUS Wales and The Weekend Rumble. He also covered Thronkfest in 2026 where he interviewed bands and artists and photographed performances in order to promote the festivals and performers on the show.

​​​

In his first year, Col has interviewed a host of artists and bands: including Rona Mac, Shlug, Freya Beer, John MOuse, Hairdye, Courtney Scotto, Tom Collins, Joe Kelly, Reb from Echotopia, Tokomololo, Kaptin Barrett, Roscoe, Sonic Coins + Icons, Evrah Rose and many more.
