International Missing Childrens Day…

Posted on May 26, 2011 2 Comments

Hello all,

Yesterday was International Missing Childrens Day and events were held across the World to highlight it.

Vectis Radio and Forever Searching organised a balloon launch here on the Isle of Wight to attempt to raise awareness for missing children.

Each balloon had attached to it, a photo, name and details of a particular missing child. My balloon had Amy Fitzpatrick on it.

All the balloons were released into the sky and with any luck, they’ll land in the hands of someone that knows something.

Please check out Amy Fitzpatricks page. Who knows, you may have seen her. It’s www.searchforamy.com

Please support these causes. They really do a grand job.

Peace. x

Hello all.

I hope you are all very happy and smiling. In fact, I hope you’re all bouncing off the walls, overcome with sheer joy and emotion.

That sounded sarcastic.

Tomorrow nights radio show will feature myself and Tippers writing a song live on air. It’s not just any tune though. We’ll be writing the masterpiece with YOUR words.

Simply tweet us at www.twitter.com/gandtippers or email us at gandtippers@vectisradio.com with your lyric ideas. We just need a single line off of each of you and we’ll piece it together and write the melody live on air.

The show goes out on Thursday between 7pm and 10pm British Summer Time and can be heard at www.vectisradio.com. You can also watch us on webcam at www.stickam.com/vectisradio.

A sad beginning to a very busy week…

Posted on May 23, 2011 Leave a Comment

Hey all,

Last night I got some very sad news. The poor puppy was born but didn’t survive. Poor thing.

This week is a crazy busy week for myself and the G & Tippers Show.

Today I get straight back in the pool after a couple of days off. I’ll get another kilometre under my belt as well as a gym session. Then tomorrow, my coach Serena is upping the anti and pushing me to 75 lengths of the pool. That’s 1500 metres without stopping. It probably doesn’t sound that much to some of you, but a strong swimmer I am not! Click here to read all about my charity swim attempt. It’s pretty dangerous.

On Tuesday I’ll be (fingers crossed) completing the 1500 metres and then hitting Tims to record a G and Tippers advert. On the show this week we’ll be writing a song on air. All we need from you, the listeners are the lyrics.

You can email a single line to gandtippers@vectisradio.com or tweet us at www.twitter.com/gandtippers.

Wednesday is International Missing Childrens Day. The Forever Searching Charity are doing a balloon launch from St Thomas’s Square in Newport, Isle of Wight. Check out the facebook group here for details.

Thursday is the G and Tippers show on www.vectisradio.com from 7pm to 10pm BST.

And then on Friday me and Tim are playing an acoustic Charity Show at The Wight Rock Bar in Ryde, Isle of Wight. Two Island girls are raising money to fly out to Malawi and help Aids victims by volunteering in an Aids hospital there. It is an excellent cause and well worth your help.

Check out the Shows page.

Be safe. x

G and Tippers Show theme, Welsh gigs & dogs in labour…

Posted on May 22, 2011 Leave a Comment

Hello all,

WE’RE ALL ALIVE!!! So much for the rapture. Bollocks.

I am currently sat on a sofa huddled up between my mate Rich and my radio sidekick, Tippers. Everyone is feeling slightly fragile after an entire day and nights drinking and kebab feasting.

Last night was our close mate Taffys birthday. In the old days the Welsh wizard used to look after us on tour and pretty much play the role of Dad. There are a few funny stories in the book that feature Taffy!

Me and Tim got drunk, played some songs, forgot some words and ended up reverting to smutty on stage gags rather than actually performing. Sod it, if the audience are smiling, you’re winning.

Talking of winning, there is a dog in the room that has just gone into labour. How awesome is that!? I think we’re about to witness the giving of life. That’s pretty magical.

It’s almost as exciting as having a Chameleon dropped on to your head. Things like that only happen in Wales. I am an animal lover but I was terrified!

Totally off subject I know, but come on Blackpool! I’d love them to stay up. It would really be a giant fuck you to the money orientated Premier League. Football really has gone to the dog (boom boom) in that respect. Always cheering for the underdogs (boom boom). I guess that’s why I’m a Derby fan eh?

This weeks G & Tippers Show has a song writing theme. Me and Tim are going to write a song live on air with lyrics tweeted in by the audience. God knows how it’s going to sound but I guess that’s half the craic!

You can tweet lyrics in to www.twitter.com/gandtippers or email us at gandtippers@vectisradio.com.

The show goes out live at www.vectisradio.com every Thursday at 7pm BST.

I’ve also added a couple more videos to the Media section. They’re from last years Liberty Tour. Check them out. If you want.

I hope you all had a wicked weekend. Be safe. xxx
