Forgive me for mixing business with pleasure, but dear readers, I need you! I’ve moved to Newcastle to work full time as a producer/presenter/webbysocialmediapersonthing for Amazing Radio and I need ‘real people’ to help make my show sound fabulous. So how can you do this? Well, in a number of ways… Get your music onto [...]

You’re a sister and let me introduce mine.
Really excited about the You’re A Sister gig we’re playing for Oxjam on April 16th. It’s being held in support of Oxfam’s Sisters on the Planet campaign. 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 [...]

Kate Hindley artwork

Kate Hindley is a Worcester based artist who has illustrated for Okido magazine and Girls Who Draw (a more extensive list can be found here.) I’m rather excited as apparently more stuff is coming soon! (Check out them [...]

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 [...]

More advice please?
Hello! I haven’t updated this for ages because most of the time I’ve been working and also because I’m avoiding blogging about insider stuff at Channel 4 because I don’t want to get into trouble! Instead of blogging work stuff here I’ve been doing some writing for 4Talent’s blog and you can read my thoughts [...]

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 [...]

The victoria sponge to my brewing leaves…
Heres the new song I’ve put on my soundcloud Leaves and Crumbs by GetFrank I recorded it yesterday/this morning with lots of precussion and boundless enthusiansm….which quickly waned as I did take after take on the keyboard (I’m a rubbish player.) A lot of the other tracks/instruments were thankfully done in one take. It’s another [...]

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 [...]
