The Flash is a not-for-profit community radio station serving south-east Hampshire. We are run entirely by volunteers and promote the talents of local unsigned bands, musicians, and singer/songwriters. We also celebrate all that is positive in our local communities. Our music format is one of ‘Real Music’, which means we only feature music that has a strong acoustic element, and feature classic rock, progressive rock, space rock, blues, country, folk, and other specialist shows through the evenings.
