Reunions are awful things. Bumping into people you'd rather
not see again; people you barely recognise; and acknowledging that you really are as old as everyone else is.
The 40th anniversary celebrations of the first tranche ofcommercial stations are well underway. I gather the LBC celebrations in 2013
went off with a bang; the old Metro, Hallam and Piccadilly crowds really enjoyed themselves; and just a
few weeks ago the, old Radio Tees (Tfm) crowd toasted four decades since Les Ross lifted the
arm on the turntable for the very first time.
Last weekend saw the 40th anniversary of commercial radio in
Nottingham. Radio Trent was the 13th in the list of stations celebrating those forty changing years.
We were privileged to be allowed to take over the old premises
on Castle Gate for the night, thanks to the wonderful co-operation of its current
occupants, Base 51/NGY. (@Base51) They manage an impressive new centre for young people in the city, housed in this lovingly restored historic building. The old car park, home of so many arguments in Trent's
day, when presenters would rush up during a two minute oldie to shift their
vehicle so the OB Land Rover could escape, has become a surprisingly attractive patio
where generations of the old Trent guard
could assemble in the early evening July sunshine.
Ron Coles, who, as MD, nursed the station through its
mid-life crises, stood to relay messages from
those who could not attend; and Nick Shaw paid tribute to all those who had
gone to work in what must now be a very great radio station in the sky, including
his dear brother, John.
In a bizarre twist, the new venture now houses Notts YMCA radio/audio (@YMCA_digital) facilities in its basement,
so in some senses the old subterranean studios have been restored to their seventies purpose.
The breeze block studio walls remain, and even the old sealed window through to the
old MCR 'control room'. John Peters,
first voice on-air, stared at his reflection, aged 24, in the glass.
A drink or two had
been consumed by the time guided trips around the building began, so emotions were
high as the Trent team revisited the scenes of their crimes.
Newsreader, Tim Heeley, drew up a chair in what would have been the
newsbooth to deliver a familiar, reassuring late night bulletin, as he had most nights in
the 80s.
How brilliant it was to shake hands once again and trade
memories with the journalists, the
presenters, the sales people, the traffic team, the creative producers and accounts staff who had
captained the old station through its colourful past. I tingled when I met the characters I'd grown
up listening to, whose voices were the reason I worked in radio.
All generations
were represented, from the smiling pioneers right through to a welcome smattering of the current Capital crowd, including Dino & Pete from breakfast who were welcomed as inheritors of the 96.2 crown.
They represented today's necessarily efficient, focused radio stations,
which now together deliver significantly
greater audiences to East Midlands' commercial radio than we battled for in the vintage, vinyl days.
Returning to our old home was a little like one of those odd dreams
where random people from your life gather in an
impossible location. Or being treated to an opportunity
to step back in time, and continue, in loco, the conversations which had been severed some decades before.
As we cleared up the venue late that night and restored the venue to its new purpose after a beautiful emotional journey, we slotted our memories back in their rightful place at the
back of our minds. The old logos, the
old jingles, the old pics returned to their cardboard boxes too, like Christmas
decorations on the twelfth night. The reminiscences are over for now.

Was there a commemorative multimedia giveaway of sound and sights over the years like the Radio Hallam 40th last October? Still have a few copies for any anoraks out there!
ReplyDeleteSadly not! We did not update the 30th anniversary vid. There was a powerpoint on the night, but that's about it. We just drank :) Just inserted 'Hallam' above in my list - I momentarily forgot you guys had a great shindig too

My Name is Eunice Garry and i am from Canada. here is my short testimony of how i got my love back...After 5 years of marriage, me and my husband have been into one quarrel or the other until he finally left me and moved to California to be with another woman. I felt my life was over and my kids thought they would never see their father again, i was emotionally down for a very long time. i tried to be strong just for the kids but I could not control the pains that tormented my heart, my heart was filled with sorrows and pains because I was really in love with my husband. Every day and night I think of him and always wish he would come back to me, I was really upset and i needed help, so I searched for help online and i came across a website that suggested that Dr Balbosa can help me get my husband back with his experience and guidance. I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and he told me what to do and I did it and i also followed all his instructions. 48 hours later, my husband really called me and told me that he missed me and the kids so much and promised to never leave me and the kids again, So Amazing!! So that's how he came back with lots of love and joy, and he apologized for his mistake, and for the pain he caused me and the kids. Then from that day, our Marriage has now be stronger than how it were before, All thanks to Dr Balbosa. he is so powerful and i decided to share my story on the internet that Dr,Balbosa is real and powerful spell caster who i will always pray to live long to help his children in the time of trouble, if you are here and you need your Ex back or your husband has moved in with another woman, do not cry anymore, contact this mighty and genuine spell caster.
