Entry is a donation of £3 or more… bargainous! You can find out about more of the acts by following the previous link. We’re playing with brilliant poet [...]

I could have died.
Sorry to use shock tactics to get your attention! It’s not a lie – but it does require a long winded story [disguised as a review!] Last night I popped over to Digbeth’s Rainbow for a night of sober fundraising recklessness. The University of Birmingham’s Oxfam Outreach society were holding their annual Rainbox charity event [...]

My nearly-the-end-of-the-year resolution!
Who says you can’t attempt to make ‘fresh starts’ before January? I’ve become slightly concerned about my little grey bubble that I’ve begun blowing recently! The thing about being president of a society, and a substantially sized one at that is sometimes it’s easy to take it all too seriously! I tend to think of [...]

It’s burn a while!
Hello! It has been a while hasn’t it? I’ve graduated from Channel 4, returned to University, proceeded with my court case (still waiting for a date but have received the ‘defence’) and got a radio station back up and running. This Freshers’ Week was the first time Burnfm broadcasted outside into Mermaid Square. We weren’t [...]

Deposit Dilemma – Please Help!
I received a letter from my previous landlords/agency (they own all of the properties that they let out) and was shocked (and quite distressed.) My deposit was £400. I left my room in the condition I found it (except maybe a little cleaner!) and cannot believe what I am being charged for. We received a [...]

Burnfm best student radio station by GetFrank This is an entry for the Student Radio Awards (Best Student Radio Station.) It took me bloomin’ ages as we didn’t have many recordings…I’ve been rather pedantic and reorganised all the files on the production computer. It would be amazing to get nominated as we’ve worked ‘rather [...]

Operation Mousemat
Today in the Burnfm studio I came up with…an idea! Basically in the OLRC (library on the Selly Oak campus) there are old mousemats next to every computer. These were sponsored by a now defunct computer company called DCS plc. My idea is to replace these mousemats with Burnfm.com mousemats. It’s a hugely ambitious idea, [...]

Gearing up for Get Frank
The news in briefs (aka bulletpoints) I’ve just finished my last bit of work for uni and now just have a dissertation proposal meeting (weds) and a 9am-5pm audition on tues to go. Am about to launch a podcasting project on Burnfm. Have been offered (and taken) the position of Generation Next Future Media Production [...]

It Runs in the Family (I think)
My family isn’t really known for being musical. My dad played trombone and accordion when he was younger (I don’t really know how well!) and my sister played alto sax for a while (and I don’t even know for how long!) I would say I’m probably the most ‘musical’ in my immediate family. However, not [...]
