Salisbury Radio is pleased to announce the broadcast dates for each school taking part in Song for Christmas.
The songs will be played during Craig Hicks’ Breakfast Show at 8:20 in the morning and on Grant Francis’ afternoon show at 3:20 on its listed broadcast day.
The songs will also be played again over the weekend with Roger Clarke at Weekend Breakfast, with Matt Rogers on a Saturday and Dan Woodward’s weekend shows.
Seventeen schools are signed up, and all are currently being recorded by the Salisbury Radio elves as they perform their festive tracks.
Our panel of judges will pick a winner over the next couple of weeks, with the winning school picking up £200 worth of book vouchers and the Song for Christmas trophy, all thanks to our friends at Guyatts Storage.
On our judging panel are two former Salisbury head teachers, Joy Wagstaff and Anne Munns, Ruth Jones – the bassist in The Zucchinis and Salisbury’s Mayor, Cllr Tom Corbin.
You will also be able to download all of the songs from the day that they are broadcast, with all proceeds from the downloads being donated to Salisbury Hospice Charity You will either be able to download one track for £1, or you can download the entire collection of 17 songs for £7.50.
