Fish talking to Des

The waiting is nearly over, on Friday night Des will be broadcasting his in-depth interview with Fish.  The interview was recorded with Fish in between sound checks and his performance in the Queen’s Hall, now Cowal Games is out of the way Des has edited the interview and is sorting out his play list so listen in on Friday night for what is promising to be a most interesting programme.

Frankie Gee is pleased to announce that he will be joined by an upcoming young performer from Glasgow on his Sunday Jazz Show. Maria Marciano was discovered in May this year by Tiger Tim, while singing  Empire State of Mind on Karioke; who was so impressed that he invited her on to his last show at Radio Clyde along with some other very well known names.  Maria has since been invited to sing at various venues including in George Square, Glasgow. To hear Maria sing go to her website www.mariamarciano.com and then you will be sure to undertand what blew Tiger Tim away.

Frankie will also be interviewing by telephone Jerry Henandez of Orquesta DJ on his Salsa show on Monday night Jerry would love to answer any questions that you had for him so please email them in.

They first performed in Dunoon for the closing dance at the MOD 2006 where their fast paced ceildh music kept the party going into the small hours. They have gone on to tour the world and we are pleased to say they will be popping in to see us at DCR before their performance. We also have 2 pairs of tickets including back stage passes for the concert to give away, if you want to win these all you have to do is send in your name and contact number by email, text or white post box and the two lucky winners will be drawn out of the hat on Thursday night.

Victor and Douglas love nothing more than an excuse to don their sparkly flares and medallions so with ABBAMANIA coming to Dunoon on Saturday 13th February they jumped at the chance to take a week long trip back down memory lane and relve their youth?! So listen in for special features, competitions and of course plenty of ABBA tunes to sing a long too, to get you in the mood. But be quick if you want a ticket for the show at the Queen’s Hall as they are apparently going fast.

ABBAMANIA perform a wonderful replica of ABBA LIVE Concert that fans throughout the world were enthralled with back inthe 1970’s. they where formed in 1998 are Scotlands original ABBA tribute band and are know recognised as one of the most authentic re-creation bands in the world.

ABBAMANIA have hit ‘GOLD’ with their recreation of ABBA in concert and will have you dancing in the aisles with their fabulous live show featuring nearly 2 hours of pure …. ABBA …. nostalgia.

For more information on the band see their website www.abbamania-show.co.uk
