What I'm doing on Refresh FM

I will be on the wireless (that's 'radio' for those of you reading in colour) for a couple of weeks.

If you want to take part in any of the interviews or games or silliness, let me know!

Refresh 87.7FM is a Christian radio station which begins broadcasting on Saturday 8th April, runs right through Easter and ends transmission on Sunday 23rd April. Depending on your viewpoint, it is a Christian celebration of Easter or an opportunity for me to abuse the fact that I have a microphone connected to a transmitter and pretty much carte blanche from the station director.

Refresh is an RSL, a low powered temporary broadcast awarded by Ofcom to organizations with a community or often minority interest. You should be able to get it on a normal radio if you live in and around Manchester, although the signal can be patchy in places. We have raised an idea of doing a web/podcast but we haven't resolved the copyright issues of this yet.

So my shows...

QUITE EARLY SHOW
Music, chat and vague silliness presented by me and Lee Moore, including stupid news, interviewing with Jenga and an investigation into whether Christians really ought to be doing cover versions of famous songs.
TIMES are 9pm-11pm on 87.7FM on the following dates: Monday April 10th, Tuesday April 11th, Thursday April 13th, Friday April 14th, Monday April 17th, Tuesday April 18th, Thursday April 20th, Friday April 21st.

THEATRE OF NOISE
Same presenters again, but this time if it's got guitars and it's loud, we play it. We wax hairy men, destroy bad CDs with power tools and get complaints.
TIMES are 9pm-11pm on 87.7FM on the following dates: Wednesday April 12th, Wednesday April 19th.

XFM eat your heart out!

Hi there, my names dave stout, i go to Heaton Moor Evangelical Church. Im interested in both your show and the refresh radio station. Im in a band called Freed, we are a 5 piece and we are all Christians. We're based in Manchester and we're looking for some radio play. I can pop a demo cd and our press pack into the radio station at some point, as i gather that its based in longsight. Anyway if you could get back in touch with me that would be wonderful. We'd be totally up for coming in for interviews or anything like that, so if you have any ideas that would be wonderful, email me at thatsapeach@hotmail.com or go on our website, where you can hear some of our songs, at www.freedofficial.co.uk

thanks a lot
