If you don't want to go out tonight because of the terible weather and can't find anything to watch on the telly and like a good traditional Scottish ceilidh tune into Argyll FM from 11pm tonight for the hogmanay party plenty of music, chat, guests and requests right into the early hours (well its been 4am when we've finished the last 4 years).

106.5(Campbeltown area), 107.1 (Machrihanish - Tarbert & South Islay), 107.7(Mid-Argyll, North Islay and the Ayrshire Coast) FM

Happy new year to everyone wherever you are

So when you guys going to get an internet broadcast so the rest of us can listen now and again too?

Would have been a lot of fun listening while getting ready for my own night (I'm 6 hours behind).

Hugs and a big New Year's frog kiss to everyone.

Good morning all

Ian and I did have a very enjoyable night/morning, loads of folk in to visit, great guest singers live in the studio and lots of requests, thanks to everyone who contributed during the show. We finished at 4am requests were still coming in at 3.30 but we decided we had to stop sometime if I was going to get any work done this morning.

I am just back in the house now after doing some storm damage repairs and trying to get the work done with a punctured tractor tyre :evil:

going for a wee sleep now but will be ready to do some visiting later on

Jek, Dorian, Bobbie and Annie thanks for the good wishes

John

didn't get a chance to listen due to storm damage upsetting evening and a a small matter of some good gridiron on skysports.

i notice someone asking about when radio will be online? don't hold your breath or stick yir heid in a bucket of water while your waiting, the website is never updated and it would only happen if some new toys were being bought for some to play with. stick to getting a better percentage of live output first, those loop tapes are getting very old and very tired which is a pity, still it's a new year and the 12th year that the radio has been running since the old KCR days, 14 if you count all the work john campbell and richard dewar, wee dan, george and kenneth kelly, allan berry, david heft, geoffrey page, davi shaw,(the other fla!) colin, bob and tracy middleton, iain henderson and johnny walker and several others who's names have slipped my memory going way back to the summer of 95 put in to get the station on air in the first place.

here's hoping this year is the best yet, tongue not in cheek, honest!!!

Gen Jack, you could very easily be a lot nicer, more supportive and less aggressive towards Argyll FM.

That really was not very pleasant at all.

I dont see your name on the list of former personel. Were you involved at one time? and if so why are you not involved any more? you seem to have a great interest and knowledge.

I am not stirring or mixing I am just genuinely interested.

And who is Johnny Walker?

Hey Jek, yeeehah another cowboy hat on the forum...and boy do you look familiar...........well, I'll bet a fiddle of gold against your soul I know who you are....well, your avatar anyways......

Shame on you Gen Jack .....even we over here in Texas know that Argyll FM station is ran by a band of volunteers who put in many many hours of, unpaid, work to keep that station on air..how many towns in Scotland, the size of y'all's town have a fully indrependant, 24 hour a day, radio station? well, I sure as heck dont think there will be very many others......

You dont have to praise 'em.....but you dont need to criticise 'em neithers....
