Next week's series of Cooler Breakfast Shows (beginning Weds 1st September from 8-10am and culminating in our live broadcast from the Moreton Show on Saturday 4th)will be sponsored by those lovely folks at The Bell,Alderminster. Now we'd be saying this even if they weren't sponsoring us,but The Bell is,quite simply,one the best 'proper' pubs in Warwickshire (don't just take our word for it- they won best Dining Pub in Warwickshire last year). Just two miles south of Stratford on the Shipston road, The Bell was recently refurbed and relaunched by its owners- the Alscot Estate- and is definitely worth a visit. Great food and great beer - what more do you want?
In addition,listeners will have the chance to WIN a dinner for two AND a night in The Bell's gorgeous Alscot Suite- so listen up all week and bag yourself a treat! Check out their website on www.thebellald.co.uk for more info on this great venue.Thanks too to our other sponsors, Cubars (very pucker outside bar specialists- extremely hot on the cocktails in particular) and those creative boffins at Box 3 Design and Print (www.box-3.co.uk) for their support too....legends one and all!
NCCR FM live on FM Radio (87.7 FM) for Moreton Show
NCCR TO BROADCAST LIVE ON 87.7FM FOR MORETON SHOW
NCCR, which has been steadily building a large contingent of both listeners and volunteers since its launch two years ago, will be broadcasting to the local area on FM for the first time from this year’s Moreton Show.
Having been granted a temporary Restricted Service Licence (RSL) by broadcast watchdog Ofcom, listeners will be able to tune into NCCR on its dedicated frequency of 87.7FM (NCCR FM for radios with RDS) from the morning of Wednesday, September 1st until the evening of Saturday, September 4 th (show day!) between the hours of 8am and 10pm each day.
The NCCR team will be out in force at the show, and among the features of the packed schedule will the chance to hear highlights of some of the eclectic programmes produced over the station’s lifetime to date. Popular shows on NCCR include the Theme Time Radio Show presented by former NME Editor Steve Sutherland, which has developed almost cult status, Monday evening’s Sportopsy which dissects all of the weekend’s sporting events and invites listener comment, Agitpop, the pop and politics show presented by Blockley’s Chris Jury and The Unsigned Community with Robb Eden, showcasing unsigned artistes from all over the world.
All of the above will be represented throughout the Moreton Show-based broadcasts, which will kick off every day with The Cooler Breakfast from 8am, featuring guests,requests, local and national news and travel details for those attending the show. NCCR’s temporary home on 87.7FM will mean that listeners at the Moreton Show, in or around the town and possibly as far afield as Shipston, will be able to have their very station delivered direct to their radio sets for the very first time.
New Show - Folk on NCCR
New Shows Sunday at 7.30 PM and 8.30pm for the next two weeks. -
If you've been listening to Steve Sutherland you will have heard him saying that we need a folk music programme on NCCR as we are in the heart of folk music country. He's right & we've done something about it.
Our latest recruits, Albert Treacy & Becky Uline will be presenting the Folk Hour on NCCR, initially from 7.30 to 8.30pm on Sundays & then it will move to a Sunday afternoon slot. But hold on......there's more....Albert & Becky have a huge collection of European music and they will be presenting & playing this in a unique programme, Music, Musik, Musique from 8.30 to 9.30pm for the next couple of Sundays. This too will then move to Sunday afternoon.
Becky is from San Francisco in the US originally. She has a degree in radio production and was very involved with her university radio station as production director and presenter. She then went on to work at Yahoo! as an editor and now does similar work as an independent consultant.
Albert is from Ireland and worked briefly at BBC Radio Scotland, producing and making packages before moving to BBC Online. He then worked for Yahoo! Music Europe in London - managing the programming of online radio stations. He moved to Broadway in January.
It's a big NCCR welcome for Albert & Becky.
