Keith came into the studio tonight and talked with us about a number of interesting topics. He had recently returned from a trip to Israel and talked about the impression the many visits to Biblical and historical sights had made upon him. We then chatted about his involvement with Essex Cricket Club and their support for a number of cricketing charities, including one for disabled players. We also heard about the charity Cricket without Boundaries and their work in Africa. This is the charity that the toys collection at Christmas at Ingatestone church takes to distribute. Keith then surprised me by talking about his involvement in the late 60s early 70s with the movement lobbying to change the law to make commercial radio legal in the U.K. He had even spoken at a large public meeting in Trafalgar Square. If it had not been for people like Keith there would be no Phoenix98FM or other commercial stations in the UK. So well done Keith! He also brought in four tracks that added to our music mix tonight.
