In this week’s ‘Assume The Position’, David Randall chats to Anette Olzon about her new album, and plays tracks from ‘Shine’.

GRTR! Reviewer Pete Whalley described the album as a contender for album of the year and Anette will be giving the background to this first solo offering, as well as her earlier history and departure from symphonic metallers Nightwish.

‘Assume The Position’ features a mix of new and classic rock and is broadcast every Sunday at 22:00 (repeated Monday and Friday at 22:00).

David Randall’s guest on Sunday 16 March at 22:00 is Eric Rivers from Swedish band H.E.A.T. talking about, and playing tracks from, the forthcoming album ‘Tearing Down The Walls’.
