Blog: FEN RADIO : Sundays With Shaun

The Blog about all the stuff that goes on during 11am - 4pm on Fen Radio 107.5 ...

Greetings one and all, welcome to the weekly Blog as made by ME, Shaun Crerand. If you've not had the privilage to read it before then it's basically all about what I do on my Sunday radio show on Fen Radio 107.5.

Apart from playing awesome music all the day long, there's a few features that require a little more attention. These are "The Midday Mass-Debate" and "The Half-Hour of Power"

So at Midday we have a debate for the whole hour, so that's why it's called "The Midday Mass-Debate".Today we were focussing on something a little more local, today we were talking about the tragic accident that happened on Wednesday 31st October 2007 where 2 people were killed in an accident while trick or treating with a friend on the Leverington Common Corner.

An 18 year old man from Wisbech was arrested after the accident on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving, he was the bailed and released on 'lack of evidence'.

Stephanie Ward, 24, was pronounced dead on the scene, and Samantha, 4, was taken to the Queen Elizabeth hospital in Kings Lynn, but after suffering a cardiac arrest, broken neck and brain injuries she died on the way there.

So we wanted to know what people of the local area thought of this, and I was wondering who they would think was to blame.

First response was from Anna on the text, she said "I think it's the drivers fault because he should have been more aware of his surroundings"

Tina was next in and she simply said "In my opinion 2 lives have been lost, but there's been no justice"

I then read out other details of what went on that night, Stephanie was with her friend on that night who was walking with a horse which had a small girl riding on it, Stephanie and Samantha (wearing glow sticks and high visability jackets) were walking in front of the horse.

This provoked a reaction from Jo, she said " I feel deeply for the tragedy thats happened but I think the people with the horse were in the wrong, it's a shame that something like this had to happen but they should not have been riding their horse at night, as a horse rider myself I would neve ride after it got dark".

Next in was Marilyn from Lakesend she had a similar view to Jo, apart from Marilyn thinks there should be soem form of law like the ones that cyclist have top abide by, where, if you have togo out with your horse at night then you MUST make sure you're well lit and very visable, then maybe there will be less accidents like this again.

Last but not least we have Jim on the phones he said "As a lorry driver I almost had a similar accident to this one, I had a close call with a cyclist, and to this day I always wonder what if, so I sympathise with the driver of the car in this accident, although he's not going to prison, he does have a life sentence in the way that 2 lives will be on his mind for the rest of his life".

Great debating which is what it's all about, the people having a voice on the show.

Next up is my little favourite feature, "The Half-Hour of Power". I love new music so during the times of 1.50 and 2.20 I try my best to fit in as many songs as I can in Half an hour, No News, No Adverts, Just the tunes and myself telling you when they're out.

If you missed any of it then here's all the details;

THE COURTEENERS - NO YOU DIDN'T, NO YOU DON'T

Last week's record of the week, comes from Manchester lads 'The Courteeners', they've reached top 5 success with their album 'St Jude' and this single comes straight from that. It's out on the 23rd June.

GAVIN ROSSDALE - LOVE REMAINS THE SAME

This weeks Record of the Week here on Fen Radio. The former 'Bush' lead singer has just released his first solo single called 'Love Remains the Same', that soon to be followed by a brand new album called 'Wonderlust', scheduled for release on the 16th June.

BLOOD RED SHOES - THIS IS NOT FOR YOU

In the vein of The Ting Tings, this 2 piece are set for superstardom. Earlier in April they released a brand new album called 'Box of Secrets' and the single 'This is not for you' comes from that, it's set for release June 16th.

PANIC AT THE DISCO - THAT GREEN GENTLEMAN (THINGS HAVE CHANGED)

Panic are back without the '!', but they're still on top form, this single is the follow up to 'Nine in the Afternoon'. It's the 2nd single from the bands 2nd album 'Pretty . Odd'. The album's out right now and what a cracker. The single will be out to buy tomorrow.

THE SUBWAYS - ALRIGHT

It's available to buy or download on the 16th June and then thier album follows on the 30th, thats called 'All or Nothing'. In the lineup to play the Download festival which I am going to, and The Subways are predicted to one of the highlights of the weekend, I can't wait.

FOALS - RED SOX PUGIE

Oxford lads 'Foals' release their 3rd single from their new album 'Antidotes', this single out for purchase tomorrow. Lead singer Yannis Phillippakis was recently voted 45th coolest person, well according to NME.

WEEZER - PORK AND BEANS

They're back after a 2 year absence, this time with a self titled album, which the fans are calling 'The Red Album'. That's set for release June 16rd and the single will be out a week later.

MCFLY - ONE FOR THE RADIO

They're back with a BRAND new single, it comes off the back of the boys dropping their label and making a go of it themselves. Sick of all the criticism the boys have released this song as a dig to those that sang their songs but slated them behind their backs. A great new direction for McFly, and all I have to say is good luck to you boys.

So they are the tunes we managed to cram in during a 30 minute period, nice or what?

After saying that it sadly brings me to the end of this blog, and for all those that are avid readers, I won't be back next week as I'm off camping and watching loads of great music at the Download Festival, so hope you all keep well, and I'll see you soon!

Catch you later

Shaun
