Ali...

Good Luck from us National boys at Broadcasting House too!!
If I may make a couple of suggestions re the mechanics of actually doing the techie bit...
Try to always have a CD (or tape) ready to go...something about 4 or 5 mins long, for all those little unforeseen problems that, I promise you, will happen!!
In the same vein....Have a few Bits of info near to hand (Gig lists, Club Diaries, etc, etc) for exactly the same reason.

Theres nothing worse than "Dying" on air!! Not good for the heart rate, I can tell you!

Good Luck with the music logging too...Very important to do, and very dull as well!!

Any other specific advice you may need, don't hesitate to get in touch.
You could also contact Mick Peat and Lester Simpson at Radio Derby, I'm sure they could give you lots of advice too.

BTW, will Radio Manchesters Website be streaming the show on the Web??

Enjoy yourself
