✨🥂 JUST 2 MORE SLEEPS! 🥂✨

The countdown is on!

In just two days, we'll be getting suited and booted and heading to the iconic Brangwyn Hall, Swansea, for the AU Vodka Swansea Life Awards, where we're incredibly proud to be FINALISTS in the Make a Noise category sponsored by 4theRegion! 🎉🏆

To be recognised alongside so many amazing people, businesses and organisations that make Swansea such a special place is an honour in itself. The Swansea Life Awards celebrate the very best of our city, and we're absolutely thrilled to be part of the evening.
Most importantly, this wouldn't have happened without YOU.

💙 Thank you to every listener who tunes in, supports us, shares our content, joins the conversation and, most importantly, took the time to nominate us. Your support means the world to the entire Welsh Coast Radio team.

🎙️ Live & Local. Loud & Proud.
