Sophie Knapp – Bringing the Weekend Vibe to Sedgemoor fm

Sophie Knapp hosts the Friday night show on Sedgemoor fm, helping listeners wind down the week and step into the weekend with a mix of dance anthems, nostalgic tracks and feel-good tunes. Her programme is all about energy, connection and celebration, offering something a little different as the weekend begins.

Sophie Knapp has a long-standing connection with radio and first got involved with Sedgemoor fm through working with station manager Dave Englefield on other local stations. What drew her to Sedgemoor fm was its friendly, close-knit feel – something that still stands out to her today.

Her show, broadcast every Friday evening, is packed with classic dance music and newer sounds that take listeners on a journey through the dance scene. One of her most popular features is “Cheesy Quaver” – a playful segment that includes guilty pleasures, old rave favourites or the tracks people love to hate. The show thrives on listener interaction too, with Sophie always keen to hear what people have planned for their weekend ahead.

Local Community

Local life is important to Sophie. She describes the community in Bridgwater and the wider Sedgemoor area as one of her favourite things about living and working here. She has a particular fondness for the carnivals – having helped, promoted and even taken part – and says the growth of these events over the years has been a standout experience.

In addition to dance music, Sophie Knapp is passionate about shining a light on what’s happening locally, from events to community stories. Whether she’s shouting out listener plans or chatting about what’s coming up across the district, there’s always a strong sense of place woven into her show.

Outside the studio, Sophie is a keen skater and once partied with Musical Youth. She’s also a fan of walking on the Somerset Levels and recommends a trip to Taunton’s Caribbean restaurant, The Islands, for something a bit different.

To hear Sophie Knapp in action, tune in to Sedgemoor fm every Friday night. It’s the perfect way to kick off your weekend with music, chat and a bit of fun.
