I am British through and through and have always tried to live by the "British" book.

When I went into Radio Devon and asked them to listen to my music, they agreed. Ben admitted he hadn't listened to the whole CD and told me he only had ten minutes for the interview. He was quite patronising (seeing as he is a good twenty years younger than me) and told me that I didn't fit into one of their normal "boxes". He suggested I should speak to Phillipa who interviews local Devon "characters" (I'll take that as a compliment).

I was unable to get in touch with Phillipa.

Positive

Attending the interview gave me a taste of what it feels like to be in a studio and talking into a microphone.

The sound quality on my CD was good enough to go straight out on to the airwaves

Negative

Too many other things have been "getting in the way" and I am now no longer in Devon.

Apart from that

One of the other reasons I stay here is because I am trying to trace a couple of people, although I did manage to get in touch with several when I was in Devon

I have been involved with several fund-raising issues, although many of the people here on hootoo fail to realize or can even be bothered to understand that.
