New Talent on Radio Seagull |
|
Commencing again
mid August, every other Tuesday between 0100 and 0300 CET, you can now listen to ”New Talent” on Radio Seagull.
The programme is produced and presented by
Lizzie B,
a singer and songwriter who has been performing as a solo
artist for some 6 years.
Lizzie’s influences range from Beth
Orton, Mary Black and Jewel, to Joni Mitchell and Rosie
Thomas. Her songs are easy listening with the emphasis on
both the lyric and melody.
The programme, New Talent, is about
encouraging people to have confidence in their music; so
please send in your mp3; and Lizzie will play it
around the world on Radio Seagull. |

Seagull all at sea
Our radio
ship, the Jenni Baynton, was at anchor approximately 8 miles
offshore in the Waddensea - this is the area of sea between the
mainland and a string of islands. Beyond those islands is the
North Sea. Being anchored at sea resulted in many reception
reports confirming improved reception. Maritime matters were taken care of by the Harlingen
Sea Cadets (Dutch Navy officers in training). The ship has now returned
to Harlingen Harbour.
Apple Jack on Seagull
As you've probably noticed, our schedule has recently been
overhauled. For various reasons we were able to offer presenters slots to highly
respected former staff members who left the station in the past and could be
persuaded to rejoin (Chris B., Tony Christian and Simon Clarke). Also we were
able to recruit some new faces, or should we say voices, who fit in the team
like a custom made glove (Jon Rogers, Barry Marshall Everitt and Jack Knowlson). Soon
even more new presenters are to be expected to re-enforce the team. Both the
“joiners” and the “re-joiners” already have or will soon introduce themselves to
you on our presenters pages elsewhere on this site.

When
looking at the names of the re-joiners two must look familiar. Those of
you who have already taken a look at the “history” page on this site must
have noticed the name of Barry Everitt.
He was one of the people in the cradle of the original Radio Seagull in
1973. A real home coming after so many years. |

Another name not really unknown in Seagull circles is Jack
Knowlson.
Jack was
station manager at Apple FM, an Exeter based satellite station who used to
broadcast on the SKY platform. In those days Apple FM relayed the Seagull
programmes overnights. When Apple FM entered the tender for an Exeter
terrestrial frequency on FM, they were unfortunately outbid by an other
applicant. Satellite only was not enough to survive and Apple had to close down.
The excellent relationship between Jack and Seagull remained however and has now
resulted in Jack presenting shows for Seagull. His choice of music fits in with
the Seagull philosophy and together with his laid back style of presenting makes
good listening.
So, when looking at the schedule after the overhaul the
Seagull management is very happy. We had a very good line up before the
overhaul, but now with the new recruits, the re-joiners and the staff members
who were there before increasing the amount of hours we once again have a very
interesting and high quality palette of music.
Enjoy and let us know what you think.
