ALTERNATIVE RADIO

Brothers Rob and Alan Fennah formed the band 'Alternative Radio' in 1981 and have released several albums in the UK. Their most recent release in 2005 entitled ‘Subject To Status’ featured the ‘Unisong’ award winner ‘Yesterdays Man’.

In the late 90’s, the brothers set up their own record & production company ‘Pulse’ and write original compositions for Television, Film, Theatre and the Pop Industry.

In 2004 the Fennah brothers wrote and produced the smash hit musical play ‘Twopence to Cross the Mersey’. Based on the best selling autobiography by Helen Forrester. In 2005, 'Twopence' made Clearchannel's No1 position in its 'Top 10 Selling shows in the UK'.

Rob & Alan are currently putting the finishing touches to an original screenplay entitled, ‘Julia’s Banjo’. The film will feature 12 original songs including 'Yesterdays Man' ( As featured here).
