Adictos Al Ruido Versión UK
ADICTOS AL RUIDO VERSIÓN UK is a radio show recorded, hosted and produced in Liverpool, United Kingdom by the Chilean dj, radio presenter, rock reporter, and English teacher Francisco A. Tapia. The shows are mainly interviews with new British bands, especially from Liverpool and the North West of England. It is available from its website every Monday and it is broadcasted in 5 countries: United Kingdom, Spain, Mexico, Argentina and Chile.
The interviews are held in English but they are dubbed into Spanish due to the large audience in Latin America and Spain. Most of the interviews take place at pubs or venues of Liverpool, but also there are a few interviews that have been recorded in Manchester (with The Buzzcocks, The Vaccines and I Am Kloot), Sheffield (Supergrass), London (Los Updates), or even in Europe: Paris (Paris Combo) and Granada (Niños Mutantes).
