I would just like to make one thing very clear actually before we start so as not to annoy our host, but we are not actually technically on a barge, we are on a narrowboat, as we are not carry goods on UK waterways...
However, we are so so pleased to be here, live from the boat 2013, to accompany the Alrewas Canal And Music Festival. Things did look a little bit dicey, but not to worry, the boat moored at it's designated spot at approximately 6.30 this morning, which is of much relief to the Alrewas Radio team!
Nonetheless, after a brief dry run about 30 minutes ago, I can confirm, that everything works, for once in the history of Alrewas Radio. Still I better not get too ahead of myself as everything could still go wrong! We still a million miles ahead by normal standards, so everything could go well!
The newfound, borrowed, begged and stolen (only joking) gear that we have is doing to job absolutely marvellously and has really helped us out with logistics here in the studio. The only one thing left to do now, is to press PLAY and off we go!
We hope you will be tuning in from 10am-5pm for the next 5 days, including today, here is a brief reminder of the line-up
10-11: James Richardson
A radio veteran starting the day with some well loved and remembered features as well as some new stuff.
11-1. The terrible 2 return back to Alrewas Radio with Barge Or No Barge, as well as hoping to get a real insight into what is going on at the festival and talking to loads of people within the local community.
1-2: Rob Spalls Lunchtime
Rob will be taking a break from the usual news and weather for his very own show at Lunchtime, while the rest of us head of to the chip shop to keep him refuelled and rearing to go!
2-3: The Ruttleys Canal time Quiz and Music
The Ruttley Bros. inc. Were new at Christmas and are back again for another run on the radio with some topical music and talk about the canal, as well as some laughs along the way. Very much looking forward to hearing them again!
3-4: The Tom Leedham Show
Playing alternative music for an hour, with some great new music to introduce you to!
4-5: The Decades Hour
The decades will take a bit of twist this time, with some topical music to the weather and the time of year, as well as the event, as we take a walk through musical history every day.
I hope you love Alrewas Radio this time as we have so much for you to listen to and enjoy!
