In a musical melting pot like Tenerife there is always room for new sounds and sailing over the horizon we have the new radio station Pirate FM with its treasure chest of classic rock.
Managers Paul Graham and Dave West have spotted a gap in the Tenerife market and along with their fellow presenters are already serving up classic rock to the west and south coasts. Both have a wide background in radio, between them they have been at more stations than Thomas the Tank Engine, and worked together at Radio Caroline. Paul can also include Radio Leicester, Invicta Radio and even Radio Latvia among his stops, while Dave can add Swansea Sound and Radio Northsea.
Completing the team is Head of Sales and Marketing Clare Harper, she has swapped 7 years of island life in Jersey for Tenerife. Also with a vast experience of commercial radio, Clare worked with Channel 103 Radio in Jersey. With the volcanic dust delaying Paul and Dave for the launch party at El Faro in Costa Adeje, Clare fronted the evening. It takes a lot to phase Clare, she started out with a keen interest in drama and has appeared in Holby City and in some pop promos.
Keep both ears open for the Pirate FM sound on 88.6 FM and 99.7 FM. For a full programme schedule and contact details call up the website at www.piratefm.biz Welcome aboard.
