Fresh Air Radio nominated for awards – Nightmares at Newhailes this Hallowe’en – Subscribe to The Edinburgh Reporter today – Leith’s Art at the City Art Centre – Friends of Water of Leith Basin
The news team at student radio station Freshair have been nominated in the Student Radio Awards. They produced Edinburgh Question Time in March which has been put forward for the Best Outside Broadcast category and Calum Macdonald was also nominated for his “Live in my Lounge” programme when he took his show home to the Western Isles. The show was broadcast live from his house and included an exclusive performance from Colin McLeod who has appeared with luminaries, KT Tunstall and Bruce Springsteen.
Calum said:- “Receiving two nominations for Fresh Air is absolutely brilliant. The Student Radio Awards are a big deal. They’ve launched the careers of some huge names in the radio industry and to be on a short list to win is fantastic. I am absolutely delighted with the nominations – here’s hoping for a great night at the awards ceremony in London next month!”
The awards will be announced at a ceremony at the O2 in London on 7 November 2013.
