A popular community radio station is set to welcome a well-known Scottish singer, actress and broadcaster to the airwaves.
Keith Community Radio (KCR) has unveiled a real treat in store for listeners with Fiona Kennedy set to return for a second season of summer programmes.
The weekly show, called Slainte Mhath! (Gaelic for Good Health!), starts at 6pm Saturday, July 5, repeated the following day at 10am and runs for nine weeks.
Fiona said:- 鈥淚 had so much fun playing some of my favourite music on KCR last summer and I鈥檓 really chuffed they鈥檝e invited me back to do another series.
鈥淟ocal radio for me is something I listen to all the time and is absolutely key to the beating heart of all communities.
鈥淚鈥檓 really looking forward to playing a wide range of tracks from many genres which I hope will have broad appeal.
鈥淢usic connects us, binds us and helps us in so many ways – whether it鈥檚 remembering where we were when an old track from childhood is played, or a tune that takes us to a ceilidh, or an upbeat track to get us bopping around the kitchen to our disco dancing days!
鈥淭here will be something for everyone and I鈥檓 also very keen to highlight many young wonderful solo singers, musicians and bands from Scotland alongside international performers.鈥
KCR Chairman James Wiseman said: 鈥淲e鈥檙e absolutely delighted that Fiona Kennedy is taking time out of her busy schedule to make nine very special programmes for us.鈥
