Guest Derrick Connolly Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Worked both with Johnny Moran ( Absolute Great Guy) and Kelly temple (ego only for himself and women) when I worked at samantha's. One night Radio Hallam had a party at sam's and it was raided by the police from Woodseats nick. Saw them all getting on a coach from the staion earlier on. I think Ray stuart was arrested and some others. Don't remember what for. I was there so i won't say what the raid was for but there where some senior police officers inside, lawyers, judges etc, Radio Hallam, Radio Sheffield, The Star plus reporters from national newspapers all having a good time. I do remember in the next day's news Radio Hallam saying it was a Radio Sheffield event, Radio Sheffield saying it was the Star and The Star saying it was Radio Hallam's. What a way to confuse the public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Derrick Connolly Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I remember the Sheffield Show many times in the 1980s and each year there seemed to be a battle about which radio station had the bigger stage, Hallam or BBC Radio Sheffield There was also a battle over the biggest PA system, I ended up building the stage over the base bins, no one from Radio Sheffield etc caught onto why we were so loud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markbaby Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 The 1st Radio Hallam car sticker was a piece of stiff paper, approx 14" long and gummed on the ends so that you could stick it in your back window The 2nd was plastic & self adhesive and was a Bu**er to get out if you'd put it in cock eyed. This was a leaflet explaining all about the "new" Radio station that was to come A Flyer Another scan from the Radio Annual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 does anyone remember an ad which said 'Look for the flying K' or something along those lines, i was only about 4 at the time but i remember asking a girl at school called Kay if she was the flying K..............and said no :-( Hi, yes the flying K ad was for Kirkby Central a car dealer of its time. you would have heard that commercial on Radio Hallam in the 70's usually voiced over by Mike Rouse and infact it was his voice that quoted at the beginning and end of the ad, "Look for the flying K". I used to work at Radio Hallam and have many of the commercials from the 70's and 80's including that one! I used to operate (Studio A) equipment on Outside Broadcasts playing the music/ads/jingles and controlling talkback systems to the O/B presenters (Continuity). Also continuity for programmes which had been pre-recorded including Celebration Rock/Folkus and various other shows. Thanks must go to Bridget Whittaker who controlled sound equipment in Studio B where all the pre-recorded shows were made in the first place.

Jonny Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Radio Hallam Any one remember Richard Searlings Soul Source, a brilliant show by a well now Northern Soul DJ, I still listen to the tape now, wish I could get it copied to a CD. Mark Yes Mark Richard Searling took over from Kelly Temple with the soul show. was broadcast every saturday 18.00 after the Sportacular programme. Ran for two hours in comparison to the 1 hour slot Kelly used to have. I occasionally did the continuity for Richard's show including the Soul 2 hour Special he did which was broadcast the last Saturday in August 1983. I do have the complete 2 hour show on 2 CD's which I copied from the master reel to CD. The last time I spoke to Richard he was doing some work for the Expansion record label in London which I visited in the early nineties.

Hi Mark, I have so much archive material of Hallam's, my old boss Keith Skues cant even believe just how much I have. When i speak to him at his home in Norfolk and play things over the phone to him the memories flood back. I must be the only person with all the Radio Hallam Jingles from 1974 including Presenter personal Id's/Backing tracks and music beds. I will try and sort some archive material out on here, but in the meantime if you would like to hear any of the hundreds of jingles/ids and ads from Hallam get in touch. Hope to hear from you soon Jonny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike142sl Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 My memories are of the late night Martin Kelner Show in the late 70s or was it early 80s? He used to play some really funny clips from films like the recently released Monty Pyton's Life of Brian. There was also an assistant he called the bionic Bot - can't remember her name though. For a while Martin Kelner had a girlfriend who lived a few doors away from us and I used to see him walking up the road. Used to think it was amazing for some reason !.

Guest nhmacd Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 does anyone know what happened to all the equiptment when Radio Hallam left Heartshead?? A lot of that equipment was dumped as it would have needed to have been in two places at once. New equipment, such as whole studio electronics, was bought. A lot of the Heartshead gear was very old, having been originally installed in 1974, and was in desperate need of replacement. It was very depressing to walk away from the old location because of the memories it held but time moves on and a new building was necessary for expansion. The last time I was in the building was when we were dismantling everything. Leaving for the last time was unsettling and quite emotional. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeb Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Blimey colin...I used to go to the pig&whistle on a sunday for your rock night (fairly sure it was you anyroad ) and we'd nip in to the booth to request stuff whilst the record was playing. You'd always play Little Angels stuff for us and for me and my then girlfriend and the rest of the crew that was good enough for us. what a legend! Happy days indeed...thanks for the memory ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tav2002 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I remember getting a Radio Hallam yearbook sometime in the 70s & I took it to reception to see if anyone could sign it ........ 2 weeks later went back & everyone who was in the year book had signed it. I think its still in my parents house somewhere. (I hope). If anyone has any old Hallam jingles or progs on CD I would love to buy a copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Geoff Edwards Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I've some old tapes from 1980 ish. One is Mike Lindsay. Used to love Roger Moffat - 10 am in the morning was it (when I should have been at college) And wasn't there one year when both Martin Kelner and Roger Moffat had a "second Christmas." I now live in the far north of Scotland, and my local Tesco serves Fletchers bread in the cafe. "Fresh as tomorrow" Your information station is Radio Hallam.............
