Life after BHS

OPEN INVITATION

To mark Generate Radio’s second anniversary of continuous broadcasting I am going to do another 24 hour continuous session of presenting. This will take place between 10am on Friday 28^th September until 10am on Saturday 29^th September (UK times). If you have any special tracks that I could include I would be extremely happy to do so, during last year’s 24 hour show I was privileged to be able to play a couple of exclusive radio debuts and would love to feature more this time round if possible – all genres welcome as long as lyrics are ‘radio friendly’.

If anybody would like to send an ‘audio card’ that could also be played, that too would be great.

I feel so privileged and proud to be a small part of the wonderful team of volunteers that help to keep the station going and give it its unique character. Personally I am so happy to be able to play such a varied mix of music that doesn’t always get the air play that it deserves.

Sadly, being a ‘Radio Station Of The Year’ nominee in the Scottish New Music Awards, for the second year running doesn’t actually pay any bills. We will be using this 24 hour show to help highlight our fund-raising efforts; although all volunteers give their time very generously, there are essential costs that have to be met in order to keep going – these will inevitably increase should we be successful in securing our five year FM Community Radio licence from UK’s OFCOM.

If you were able to support us in any way, I would be so grateful.

In addition to seeking special music tracks and ‘audio cards’ to play; I would also love to be able to speak to people around the world live on-air via Skype. Any musicians who would be in the local area would be more than welcome to come into the studio to play a live session on-air.

Please give this some thought, and let me know if you might be able to help out – any support, in whatever form, will be welcomed with open arms.

Thanks for taking the time to read this,

many best wishes,

Donald
