- Welcome to Wreckers Radio!Wreckers Radio was borne out of Cornwall Folk Radio (CFR) in early 2024. A small group of dedicated volunteers came together to ensure that the legacy of CFR could continue, and started to think about ways in which it could grow and develop.
Wreckers Radio and Cornwall Folk Radio are now managed by a new small group of volunteers with sponsorship and support from Adept Living Foundation, Launceston Folk Club and Cornwall Folk Festival.
We remain completely non-profit and non-commercial and work for fun and great local music.
Lets Dance!
