The August Double.......

 

Hi everyone – thanks to Lloyd Bonson for looking after things last weekend, it’s good to be back.

 

We’ve another packed programme for you this weekend.....

 

 

Crossrail is coming to Shenfield – direct trains are promised between Shenfield, central London and Heathrow Airport, but when will they arrive? We’ll investigate……

 

And, as the World Scout Jamboree enters its eighth day in Chelmsford, we find out what’s been going on under the stars in Hylands Park from two local scouts who are there……

 

 

There’s gold in them there Essex hills …. Brentwood Youth Club has just been given fifty grand to improve its facilities. We meet the man with the money and the job of spending it – and some Brentwood teenagers who’ll tell him how……

 

And, if you’re looking for a bit of excitement during the long summer holidays, how’s about Art in the Park, the Battle of the Bands and a mega-talent show that will make the X-Factor look like a dad’s singalong contest at Butlins holiday camp! We’ll give you the lowdown on the YFEST and tell you how to get involved.

 

 

Before eight it’s the secret hour – just you and me and your early morning oldies – a chance for early risers and bedside texters to get an instant mention and a song if you’re lucky on our NEW text number, 89 89 2.

 

And, if you’re involved in a local event this weekend, call me on 84 99 31 and you could be blabbing the blurb to Brentwood and Billericay!

 

That’s WEEKEND Phoenix Rising

on 98 FM, on line and on cam at phoenixfm.com

 

See you Saturday and Sunday, 7-10am – and don't be late
