Nigel Clarke Takes Over Phoenix FM

Nigel Clarke took over the Phoenix FM Studios on the 10th March 2008.  He invited guests into the studio, the first of which were Lin from French Quarter and June from Anula, both shops in the fantastic Crown Street in Brentwood. 

Later on in the show, which was a whole two hours, Nigel had invited Norman Ellis, who also owns a Hair Salon, Options Hairdressing, www.optionshair.co.uk, in Chelmsford.  Norman also runs the popular website www.essexhairdressers.com.
