| Richard Oliff | |
|---|---|

Join Richard from 3pm weekdays for the Drive Show. "I like to think of the HFM ‘Drive Show’ as more of an interactive experience than anything else. Along with all of the usual features generally associated with a late afternoon-early evening programme like traffic and travel, news, weather, community information and updates, the show is all about having fun and playing the music that you want to hear. There is the ‘album of the week’ feature which is not necessarily just new music. It can be an album chosen by you: your favourite sounds. Then there is the ‘Where Am I?’ anagram quiz. It’s all about having a good time. I think it’s wonderful that local people can interact with others who may be listening live from anywhere in the world via the HFM website." "Truly local radio is all about broadcasting totally from within the local community: being a part of that community and based in that community. In other words investing in that community. Anything else is simply not local radio. |

Terry plays some of the best in “Space Rock”, “Ambience”, “Electronica”, plus oodles of deeply chilled sounds. You’ll hear bands such as “Hawkwind”, “Porcupine Tree”, “Ozric Tentacles”, “Tangerine Dream”, “Klaus Schulze”, “Ashra”, Michael Schroeder”, “Aes Dana”, “Cell”, “System 7”, “Eloy”, “Ian Van Dahl”, “Ultrabeat”, “Monster Magnet”, “Pendulum” and many, many others. The show always includes exclusive studio interviews and phone-link guests with varying musicians from across the globe! His show is now internationally accepted as THE only local radio station show in the UK that promotes this specialist musical genre. Terry keeps in close contact with his USA audience via his music consultants Steve-O and Archie Patterson. Terry also presents HFM's ‘Through The Night’ with his specially produced "Night Hawke", a monthly show full of “Techno”, “Dance”, “Trance” and “Deeply Chilled-Out” sounds to bliss you into Sunday morning. Terry often combines the ‘Hawke Chill Out Sessions’ with the ‘Night Hawke’; so he’s here to entertain you from 10pm Saturday through till 8am Sunday! He also produces and presents a bi-monthly show dedicated to “Big-Band”, “Bop and Swing”, called "In The Mood". It features the music of Glenn Miller, Artie Show, Tommy Dorsey, Don Lusher, and many others. His special interview guests usually include John Miller, the nephew of the great Glenn Miller; and Debbie Curtis of the “The Debbie Curtis Radio Big Band”. The show always invites listener’s to ring in, or e-mail their own experiences, or their tales from the WWII era; and this interaction is growing in popularity! Terry also hosted 102.3 HFM’s very first “Hawke Chill Out Summer Solstice” on the actual Summer Solstice of 2009 from the Studio 1 at HFM. It was a great success with phone-link interviews directly with fans attending such festivals as ‘Stonehenge’, and with fans witnessing the sunrise in the UK and the USA!

Also featured will be unsigned local bands and the occasional interview. A warning though - this show has a very high metal content that may be hazardous to some lifeforms, The Man of METAL has spoken! |

Due to personal circumstances I am currently taking a winter break. It has been great fun sharing time with you very Monday 7-10pm and every other Thursday (also 7-10pm) with Soozie Max and myself. Your comments, calls and requests have been interesting and entertaining. They are what make this station the No.1 listened to in Market Harborough. I will return, however, sometime in the spring to continue with the great sounds that you have come to expect here at HFM. Until then, take care and keep on tuning in to Harborough’s favourite radio station. HFM. ............ Because you love it here. Regards Paul Cann |
