Good afternoon from Castle Mead Radio. Today we bring you the very sad news that our dear friend and colleague Mike Leavy, a stalwart of Castle Mead Radio, former head of music' and presenter in his own right, passed away yesterday.
Mike was a lovely, gentle man, and was popular with all who had the privilage of knowing him. He had an extensive knowlege of music, and his show dedicated to Irish music received much praise and aclaim, and as everyone knows, he was probably Daniel O'Donnell's biggest fan, and he would always close his show with one of his tracks.
There is an enormous legacy of shows that Mike made here at Castle Mead, and we will continue to play those recorded shows, once we have had time to reflect on Mike's passing.
Everyone associated here at Castle Mead wishes to express our sympathy to Mike's close family and friends at this very sad time. Sleep easy Mike, and thank you for all your service to the hospital broadcasting network, not least here at Castle Mwad Radio serving Hinckley hospitals and health centre's.
