Sunny Govan Radio will host a fundraising event on Thursday 19th February at the Grand Ole Opry on Govan Road. The evening, starting at 7.30pm, has a great line-up of entertainment planned with local bands supplying live music as well as a huge raffle and prize auction taking place. Those entering the raffle will have the chance to win some great prizes, the most sought after surely being 2 tickets for a trip aboard the Seaplane or a shirt signed by Olympic cycling hero, Sir Chris Hoy. For those of you with designer tastes, GMTV presenter Lorraine Kelly has donated a super dress which will be up for auction along with autographed pictures of the entire GMTV team.
The target figure of £2500 will go a long way to help keep Sunny Govan Radio on the air. Sunny Govan Community Radio is a not-for-profit radio station and aims to encourage and support local creative talent, fostering local traditions and providing services for the benefit, entertainment, education and development of our community.
Formed in 1998 the station broadcast for 2 weeks in August as a one-off but continued due to overwhelming support from listeners.
