WELCOME FROM KGH RADIO’S CHAIRMAN
W
ell, here we are, 2020 in another decade and welcome to this special launch edition of the KGH Radio magazine.
I am Steve Bellamy and I host a live request show on Tuesday from 17- 19:00 hours. I have always had an interest in music and many, many years ago when I left school I would have loved to have followed a career in radio, but in the dark days of the late sixties, the opportunities were very limited for a shy lad from Northamptonshire, especially when my parents told me to get a proper job. Anyway, not to be completely discouraged, I along with a couple of friends set up a mobile disco which we ran for ten years. (What sort of music genre do you play). Skip forward some years I saw an advert for the ‘old hospital radio’ and passing the audition I found myself on the air right up to its demise in 2018.
Steve Bellamy Times change and opportunities come up and so I now find myself back behind the microphone with a range of shows, both live and pre-recorded. Musically the oldest track I have played recently dates from the 1930’s, but mainly the tunes span the years 1960 to 2020. You can always tune in to the pre-recorded programme series called ‘My favorite album track’ any day of the week! And lastly, I want to take this opportunity in thanking each and everyone of our advertisers for their supprt with our magazine, which provides essential funding for us to provide the free hospital radio service.
