MICHELLE WARD - OUR LOCAL AWARD-WINNING PRESENTER AT PHOENIX FM

As  friends and colleagues will know, I enjoy working as a freelance writer with regular contacts with several Essex based radio stations, including the BBC. I've been lucky in knowing some great presenters during those years. One of my favourites is Phoenix FM, based at the Brentwood Centre, where Michelle Ward, an award-winning presenter, has worked since 2009, presenting her morning show from 10am till 1.00pm (Eat my Brunch).

Michelle is one of Phoenix's most well-known presenters, a popular singer and entertainer across Essex. She has written and recorded her own lyrics and music for several years, interviewing many interesting guests during her morning programme. This includes, every month the Book Club programme, where a guest writer/journalist  or entertainer is invited to talk about their latest book or project.

Recently, Michelle was recording acoustic versions of songs in the studio and was videoed along with Ed Rome and  The Condriacs (who have 90k followers on Facebook and a massive fan base). The Condriacs include two local musicians from Billericay, Peter Spicer and Tony Slaven. Ed Rome is also from Billericay and has around ten albums to his name and lots of high-profile Radio Show plays. All are gifted. Michelle feels she is lucky to have them working with her. She now wants to concentrate on maybe the radio show history to current date and then the exciting EP Directions.

 

The EP is called DIRECTIONS and the lead track is TRY

Michelle's socials are here michellewardmusic | Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok | Linktree.   That has Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Spotify, Apple Music, Band Camp and Amazing Radio. Physical CDs are now available.  

The track TRY is being played on a lot of stations worldwide and the EP DIRECTIONS is her debut,  and she is  delighted with her 59K views.
