PHOENIX FM LOCAL RADIO CELEBRATES

Can't believe four years have passed since we attended the launch party celebrating Phoenix FM's permanent broadcasting licence at the Bay Tree Centre in Brentwood. But long before this, in December 1996, Phoenix FM first took to the airwaves albeit on a temporary one month basis. Their presenters have changed over the years and their guests have included national and local celebrities, politicians and some of the world's best writers appearing at the famous annual Essex Book Festival held around the county. This week's column pictures my friend and super presenter, Michelle Ward which I attach by courtesy of the Brentwood Weekly News.
