Saturday evenings wouldn't be the same without 'Celtic Heartbeat', even though the reception in my area is abysmal.

Well done, Frank.

Rhiannon - thanks for that.

Unfortunately I'm not online at home and I can't really 'listen again' in the office! Still, I'm pleasantly surprised that I can pick up Radio Wales at all. Sometimes it's as clear as a bell, other times it's like listening to three conversations at once inside a canning factory!

Hiya Folkfriends.
Les Sulliven kindly alerted me to these lovely messages.
Thank you very much indeed.
We had a great welcome from the warmhearted people at the Celtic Media Festival and proudly brought the "Radio Personality of the Year" trophy home to Wales.
I am surprised, shocked, and thrilled to pieces by the award.
Cheers all,
Pob hwyl i chi gyd.

Well deserved Frank. I have been listening to you since your days on CBC in the early 1980s ..
I do not know of any radio presenter with a better taste in music. Long may you continue to entertain us.
