However it does all seem to be going TOO well! We will have to see how the next few days pan out to see what actually happens and whether we do actually make it to wednesday all going well!

Alrewas Radio Update 10/7/13
Seeing as we lie only 14 days from the launch of Alrewas Radio's summer 2013, I thought I better bring you right up to date with what is going on.
As of the 24th of July you will be able to listen live to the wonderful Alrewas Radio between the hours of 10am-5pm at tinyurl.com/alrewasradio to a great variety of music and chat with local presenters and artists alongside the Alrewas Canal and Music Festival 2013. This is something we have been planning for a while and something that all the guys at Alrewas Radio are really looking forward to it.
The schedule is as follows:
Broadcasting from the Wednesday 24th July - Sunday 28th July:
James Richardson starts the morning 10-11 with his brunch show, a great way to start off the day on the Alrewas Radio Barge, with lots of special guests popping in for a hongover recovery bacon sarnie and a shower.
Tom and Jamie then take over from 11-1pm with returning features such as Barge of No Barge, as well as some interviews with local artists and organisers of the Alrewas Barge Fest, and hopefully talking to a spokesperson from the Neighbourhood Plan going on in the village at the minute.
Then it is over to Rob to take you through lunch, with some light and relaxing tunes while you enjoy your Hog Roast or your chips or a great british pup lunch, maybe some award winning sausages and pork pie from Peter Coates Butchers.
Dan and James Ruttley, the terrible 2, will be progressing on into the afternoon, 2-3pm. They are new presenters to Alrewas Radio and great things to expect from them.
Tom Leedham, and old favourite, 3-4pm, returning with the Tom Leedham Show, aptly names because his name is Tom Leedham and he is doing a show.
Rounded off untill 5pm with Tom and James, with the decades show, a feature that was part of Alrewas Radio Summer 2012 as part of the 4th Alrewas Arts Festival. Taking a slightly different stance this time, looking for some really good tunes and hopefully some special guests too!
So that is how the Alrewas Radio Canal and Music Festival Station is shaping up, and it is certainly something that we are all really looking forward to and we hope you are too!
After that, as the summer gets properly underway, we are looking to do a week of Radio, to introduce lots of new presenters and also to establish some new tech that we are hoping to invest in, and train everybody on how to use that. It should be a great opportunity for new people from in and around the village to get involved and we hope to encourage a lot of talent there is in the village to participate in something in the community.
Thanks for reading.

Alrewas Radio Update 5/7/13
Long time no posty I am afraid guys, and I do apologise! I have been busy hard at work. Yesterday for example, I did a 7-1 shift in the co-op, then I had 15 minutes for my lunch before I shot off up to the primary school to run radio workshops with some year 6s, for a podcast they are creating for their Leavers Evening! enjoy doing stuff with the radio, so it is a great opportunity for me to dust off the old macbook and mics. I then dashed straight off to beavers, where we were playing a massive game of capture the flag in a field right next to the canal in a field full of cow poo. Lovely...
But as far as the topic of this post, Alrewas Radio. The last time I wrote, I was just about ta attend a meeting about something completely unrelated, but still very related! There is currently a development of a Village Neighbourhood Plan, to allow people to have a say in the development of the village, and this is something that I have been dragged into, being a young person on the organisers emailing list... But anyway, with a few other young people in the village, we are going to be creating some little short clips to do with our village plan.
At a meeting about this, I discussed with the Alrewas Radio Gods about the possibilities of future expansion of Alrewas Radio, and in the process, I have got a bit caught up in techy hype...
I have also borrowed some mixers and mics from the recording studio we have at school to use during the Alrewas Radio Barge Fest (24th - 28th July, be there or be square) and on the back of that we will have some funding to invest in some new kit.
I have been looking into it and I have found what I think we are looking for. I am thinking about investing in a 8 channel input alongside 2 radio condesner mics that, when used together, will give us a wider range of things to do and also a much better quality.
So, lots of new and exciting things to come from the production side of Alrewas Radio, as well as from the Presenting side! I hope you guys are all looking forward to it as much as I am!

Alrewas Radio 2013 Update
Seeing as the balls have slowly started rolling for Alrewas Radio summer 2013, I thought I might do a quick update to tell you what is happening, when and all the preps for it:
First of all there is the Alrewas Canal and Music Festival which is taking place between the 26th and 28th of July, and Alrewas Radio will be broadcasting alongside that 24th-28th. We are all really excited about that. We are really streamlining our broadcasting style and trying to up the professionalism and overall awesomeness of the radio.
We are doing all this in the view to expanding the equipment we have here at Alrewas Radio Towers. We are borrowing some microphones and a small mixer to get us through the festival, hopefully trying to record some of the awesome music that will be about that weekend. After this, we hope we will get a small donation from the Barge Fest guys to buy so brand new and exciting kit for us to be able to go forward with and make some awesome podcasts and plenty more radio throughout the year!
As we go off to the big U.N.I in september, me and James will be looking for some folks to look after our baby whilst we are away,and we hope to use a week in august of pure broadcasting for the fun of it to be able to do this! It will be really exciting to pass on our radio knowledge to some more local people who will be able to do the radio hopefully more regularly and really have fun with it!
