Like A Version Program image

Like A Version

Every Friday morning around 8am

The idea of Like A Version is pretty simple. We invite a musician or band into our studios, tell them to bring their instruments along, stick microphones in front of them and ask them to play one of their own compositions as well as a song they love by someone else.

You can also check out our Like A Version playlists on Spotify and Apple Music and YouTube
