One of the things I love about being a presenter on Phoenix is the opportunity to meet so many interesting people doing positive things in our community and beyond, and the end of the year gives a great opportunity to remember the wide variety of guests who’ve appeared on the Feelgood Saturday throughout the year:
Shenfield Operatic Society – Barry Manilow’s Copacabana
Essex Tourettes Action Group – raising awareness of the tic disorder
Alex Southgate – Accordionist and former keyboard player with Les McKeown’s Bay City Rollers
Early Doors Productions – Trainspotting
Essex Mental Health Community – promoting mental wellbeing
Brentwood Fairtrade Group – make bananas fair
Southend Operatic and Dramatic Society – La Cage aux Folles
Essex Scouts – 23rd World Scout Jamboree, Japan 2015
Annie May Adams – Romford singer songwriter
Fitness in Mind – promoting physical and mental wellbeing for 18 to 25 year olds
Gareth Sell – Pilgrims Hatch scout leader’s planned 48 hour cycle from John O’Groats to Land’s End for UNICEF
South Essex Link of Chernobyl Children’s Life Line – children from Ukraine
Jo Oldham – 10k Spartan Race for Lucy, 5 year old Billericay girl coming through leukemia

Something each of my guests has in common is passion for what they’re involved with, and I hope the programme has enabled some of their commitment and enthusiasm to spread a little wider. If you’ve appeared on the show during the year thank you for your part in helping to make each week a Feelgood Saturday – and if you’re involved with something that you think might be of interest to people around Brentwood & Billericay in 2015, whether or not you’ve been on the radio before, do drop me a line at alan@phoenixfm.com.
Most importantly, thank you for listening! Have a very happy and peaceful new year.
