Does anyone know where this station came from?

....It came on 105.7 in April 1994 straight after Don FM went off air (Monday 28th March 1994) to apply for a licence and it was very strong in the Woking/Weybridge area. Wasn't around for long, two or three months I think.

I certainly heard it around the New Cross / Greenwich area around that time. They used to play a lot of "indie" rock and unsigned bands.

Nigel's Rock FM was an offshoot (sort of) of the old Radio Free London.

The REAL RFM was created by Dave Fuller and Claire Mansfield in 1984, and ran for about 5 years - mostly on Sundays.
