Egremont radio station opening

Spent the day making jingles with the people of Egremont at the opening of the radio station. There were quite a few people that turned up plus a bunch of lads who were rather thrilled by the helium balloons (re voice adaptation). Their obsessions with Nazis/violence, homosexuality and peer pressure reminded me of the horrors of being a male teenager, however they did manage to do a jingle albeit with the aid of helium - hear it on the web site - www.egremontfm.com

The station will run over the weekends, from 8am to 2am Friday to Sunday, pretty ambitious, however there are lots of keen radio enthusiasts and DJ’s all dying to do a drive time show and even a breakfast show.

The local staff were a bit freaked when the local bad boy hard man came in to offer his services, he is honoured as the best local rapper, he did nt quite manage a jingle but it was touch and go! He left promising to put together a show without swearing, now that might be a bit of a challenge!

It has been quite a struggle getting the show working (a bit of an understatement) but everyone has really pulled out the stops, especially the volanteers without whom it just would'nt have happened, so I am listening to it now on line and it sounds great - maybe too professional!

The show can be listen to on www.egremontfm.com the site has a listen again facility as well.
