This last week we have met up as a group and come up with a rough running order to map out the show and to fill in the hour. We have come up with a few ideas including small packages at a local gig night asking the publics opinions on matters. We have been reaching out to find people who will be willing to join us for an interview for the show. I have 2 interviews lined up and am negotiating when will be best to get them in to be recorded. We now have the social media platforms up and running and will be updating it with our progress and add some visual imagery too. Earlier on today we all went into the multitrack to record a jingle to use at the top of our show. We will be meeting again as a group at the ned of the week to discuss progress and what the next steps will be!
The Footings…
Progress!
Today we had our first meeting as a group to discuss our ideas for the show and to determine who shall be taking each role. We came up with a subject to headline our broadcast and our idea is local talent. More specifically, bands and artists who are from and partake in the local music scene of Lincolnshire. Our early thoughts are to promote and celebrate some of the bands from our region and inform our audience about the musical history of Lincolnshire and to bring out a few surprising facts that you may not know already about our county! We are thinking about including a live interview or two from a local up and coming band, a few tracks that have been recorded by bands in our area, and to keep up to date with all of the local gig listings, festivals and events to help further publicise and promote the artists that are emerging from our region. I feel particularly excited about this show, not only being local myself, from Boston, I have also been involved in the music scene locally playing in bands and gigs across the county and know first hand how hard it is to make a start and to be heard and this is why our show is being created! We are all meeting up again tomorrow to further dissect some of our ideas and shall hopefully know more in the next few days.
Birth…
This blog has been set up to document my progress and journey through the first live radio show of the year. I will be updating this blog frequently with various activity that we will get up to. The members in my group are Alastair Ramsay, Harry Page, Cameron McCrimmon, Callum Spinks and myself. (Zak Rogers) We are currently in the process of deciding upon what subject shall headline the programmes content and gathering up ideas ahead of our first meeting as a group. After our first meet, I will upload more information about the project and will hopefully gave you more of an insight as to what we are aiming to achieve with our show.
