Schmuck and stuff….

dj — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 08:59:03 +0000

So this morning was a riot of reviews, news, and weird ’sexy’ stories about birds - of both the human and avian variety. We reviewed the movie ‘Dinner for Schmucks’ - which Sez gave 6.75/10. If you missed it then listen back to the second hour here.

Steve Carell and Jemaine Clement

Our WhatsOn guide featured events such as the Sweelink festival at the Oude Kerk - a good event if the parents are in town! Plus food festivals, the Dam to Dam loop, music events and more….

Music highlights included Rusko, Cypress Hill, The Hoosiers, Brandon Flowers, The Pixies and the legend that is Willy Nelson - and to quote Cheech “I love Willy”. Don’t we all?

Leandra’s Last Show

dj — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 13:01:01 +0000

Retiring English Breakfast Radio DJ Leandra Julian was given a farewell she’ll never forget this morning courtesy of Welsh singing sensation Aled Davies, who dropped by to serenade her live on air . There wasn’t a dry eye in the house when the man widely known as the next Tom Jones ’saw-off’ Leandra with a rousing rendition of, ’I left my heart in San Francisco’.

The morning also featured tributes from fellow jocks; syrupy, mellow music and a very rich farewell cake which disappeared in a matter of seconds.

Leandra, a regular ‘Wednesday Warbler’ for over four years, has traded her headphones for a warm bed as the mornings get colder.

Her replacment from next Wednesday will be Australian whacko Dj Gonzo Franco.

Music Mad Monday Madness!

dj — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 11:21:07 +0000

Monday morning green room regulars Francesca and Melissa received a pleasent surprise today when stand-in DJ Franko ‘Gonzo’ Movizio informed the delicious duo of their new nickname…’the sex kittens’.

The nickname, a product of the English Breakfast Radio ‘boys-club’, was welcomed by the ladies and it seems the new title will stick!

“They were purring with delight”, said Franko. “The cameras were down today so English Breakfast viewers wishing to eyeball the ’sex kittens’, will have to tune in next week.”

Franko was the final fill-in jock for ‘Music Mad’ Monday host Sarah Jamieson who has been motor biking around Europe for the last three weeks.

To promote the show we are playing one sneak preview track from The Woodwards’ upcoming EP ‘Burn Everything’ each day this week, so tune in to hear what all the fuss is about. Also, previous English Breakfast guest Merinde will be opening the night, so it promises to be a winner!
