CubaDupa Week is almost here...

As mentioned in the last newsletter, next week is CubaDupa Week at Wellington Access Radio! We have recorded some great interviews and music to share in the lead up to the festival and will be attending CubaDupa on Saturday to record even more.
We'll be putting out a special programme schedule for the week - so if you are planning on having any CubaDupa content on your show, please let us know at amy@accessradio.org.nz.
Thank you!
