Brum Radio

For the past couple of months you may have heard whispers about a brand new radio show in Birmingham, billed as ‘The Alternative Sound Of Birmingham’, featuring all manner of music, chat, arts and more. The idea behind the station was to offer an alternative to those radio stations available and to promote all that is great about Birmingham.

The station’s steering committee is made up of Richard Farmer (Station Manager), Pete Steel (Head of Music), Robin Valk (Head of Programming), Mazzy Snape (Head of PR & Events),Paul Hadlsey (Head of Sport & Comedy) and Helen Calcutt (Online Editor).

So why have thing’s been so quiet up until now? Well the Brum Radio team have been busy doing test broadcasts, recruiting high calibre presenters and producers, and building up one hell of a database of music from local artists. Now they are finally ready to shout about the station, Brum Radio is live and already drawing considerable audiences, from not just Birmingham, but across the globe.

The schedule, although still growing, is already populated with some fantastic shows such asBrum Hour, WordBeatUK, The Soul Hole, UAB Collective, Danny’s Brum & Bass Show, The Chicks Dig Jerks Radio Show, Dine Birmingham, Jack Parker’s Skit Cast and many more. When there are no live shows the musical output is exclusively made up exclusively of music from local artists, both established and up and coming.

“Brum Radio is about being fiercely independent and different. We are here to produce quality radio programming that punches way above our weight.” 
Richard Farmer (Station Manager)

The station has only just gone full steam ahead and we have already had local celebrities involved, Steve Craddock of Ocean Colour Scene appeared live on The Soul Hole on Friday and Fuzz Townsend of Car SOS, PWEI, The Beat and more, has confirmed he will be launching a radio show with us in March. With stars such as Nile Rogers tweeting their support you can see things are off to a flying start!
