Now Hear This by kmfm's Johnny Lewis
I admit it. I was speechless. Read that again. Lewis.
Speechless. The 'mouth of the south' lost for words for once.
Let me tell you more.
It all happened at Radio Day in Amsterdam, the annual convention
for broadcasters and fans of offshore radio.
I was rather thrown in the deep end when I was asked to host the
section on Laser 558 (where I worked for some time) and Laser Hot
Hits.
I got around that one without any trouble and was enjoying the
afternoon as we drew to the section when a number of awards are
made.
I was listening to the names when a familiar one was read out -
mine!
I had been honoured for outstanding contribution to offshore
radio over the years. I hadn't expected it. I was so chuffed that I
could not think of a thing to say - if you have worked with me or
listened to me over the years, you will know just how impossible
that is.
I loved my time on the high seas working for the offshore
stations and I had many good times just doing the job I love - and
then they go and give me an award. It is a great honour and I am
thrilled.
This Saturday I turn my thoughts to charity and I am taking part
in the KM Group-backed abseil over cliffs at Screaming Alley in
Ramsgate to raise funds for the Dad's Quest prostate cancer appeal
and the walking bus charity appeal.
Come along, support us, join in and have some fun. Once you go
over the edge, it is a great feeling, believe me. Find out more
