This week Sedgemoor FM's DJ Dave Englefield talks all things social media.

I’ve written about social media in these pages before but I’m going to talk about it again today.

Why? Because more and more the 'news' feed on my Facebook page is being filled with those 'share if you agree' and 'copy and paste' type posts.

I hate to break it to you but sharing a post that says I’d like to see the end of cancer or whatever is not going to cure anything.

Even if it gets twenty millions likes and shares. I also won’t be reposting it either. Not just for the reason mentioned but let’s face it, if there is anybody on the planet who doesn’t want to see a cure for cancer, MS, ME, PH or any other type of illness for that matter then frankly, I don’t want to know you.

Some fantastic news has reached me regarding one of our very best local bands, The Thatchers.

If you’re a regular listener to the show then you’ll already know I’m a big supporter and it looks as though big things are on the way for our local stompers.

They have just announced a record deal has been signed to a label in London with the first EP due in December. Huge congratulations to Henry, Jess and Chris, along with Maxine too.

A band that loves playing live, and also just has a much of a good time as the audience. We wish them every success.
