Behind the Scenes

Gary Seed

You may have heard of the Genie who magically appeared, here he is in the flesh, Gary Seed with his lovely wife Kath.

Without Gary magically appearing in a puff of smoke in March 2006 we honestly don't think we would have made it on air as the final deadline in getting the bird in flight was looming ever closer.

He could see that Phoenix only needed a couple of finishing touches. He stepped in as an ordinary working man where others didn't have the nerve and helped the wounded bird of prey, Phoenix, to fly again, literally edging it off the roof to freedom.

Kath has also been paramount in helping the Phoenix back in flight, we thank them both and we hope they contiune with Phoenix as it grows into the station that Halifax and Calderdale has been crying out for.

You will find Gary many a night or weekend putting his magic touches to the place.

Phil Gott

Ex BBC professional, so watch your Ps and Qs when he's around. Phil is bringing his expertise to Phoenix as a studio technician and he also dabbles in radio of course who wouldn't when you have the offical BBC stamp on your arm.

Phil pre records a Northern Soul Show that goes on at 10pm after Soul City on a Thursday.
