British singer/songwriter and member of the music group The Shires, Ben Earle, is set to join Absolute Radio as the host of a new Sunday morning show 'where he will play his favourite country artists, as well as introduce listeners to some of his "ones to watch"'.

The Accidentally on Purpose hitmaker commented 'I am really excited to be joining the station. Country Music has grown and grown in popularity in the UK and to be part of a station which is so passionate about the genre is great for an artist like me. It definitely feels like home'.
