Improving Mental Wellbeing in West Cumbria.

Hello listeners!! Hope your weekend is starting well? So I’m planning ahead to Monday’s show… And as it’s world su***de prevention day in September 10th, my theme this week is connection and dialogue.. A very important and sensitive topic that it’s vital we raise awareness of! If you’re a charity and would like a mention please get in touch or you know of good work happening in and around the Lakes.. Cumbria has a higher than average su***de rate so we need to do whatever we can to support folk in this community. Two thoughts from me..

1. Sometimes it can feel very lonely and you might not want to bother someone with your problems.. But there are always people and organisations who care and can listen..

2. How you feel now, no matter how bleak things can appear, can change and get better.. Give it time and reach out.

Hope you can tune in.. Because whilst this is an important topic we will be playing the usual great mix of music and chat.. With tips and suggestions and most likely the odd moment she I prove it’s live radio by making a mistake!!

Much love listeners and followers. Xx

Anyone local - this will be a great evening! Might see you there 😊

CONFIRMED! 25TH SEPTEMBER
9 TO 5 SCREENING + DOLLY DISCO!
Grab your passes immediately - this is gonna be a busy one!

Join us for our tribute the legend Dolly Parton - a big-screen showing of 9 to 5, followed by our “Dolly Disco” until midnight.
And there couldn’t be a more fitting date for it - it’s Worldwide Dolly Day!

We’ll start the evening with the much-loved comedy 9 to 5, starring Dolly Parton, Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, before turning the auditorium into a Dolly-inspired party for the rest of the night.

The auditorium will be laid out with a mixture of cinema seats, tables and chairs, plus a dancefloor area. The main bar in the stalls will be open throughout the film, and the music will continue until midnight.

THE DOLLY DISCO
Expect loads of Dolly, alongside country bangers, strong independent women and big attitude, disco and camp classics, huge singalongs and music inspired by Dolly and sharing her spirit - country - disco - pop - soul - 70s and 80s classics - modern country-pop - and enormous dancefloor anthems.

SUPPORTING ST MARY’S HOSPICE
We’ll also be collecting for St Mary’s Hospice on the night, so please bring along a little extra if you’re able to donate.

Come for the film - stay for the Dolly Disco - dance until midnight!

Dressing up is very much encouraged - think rhinestones, cowboy boots, denim, big hair, country glam and your finest Dolly-inspired get-up!!

PLEASE SHARE!

Such a happy, silly, wonderful thing to be part of! I do hope Eric n Ern are chuckling somewhere! Such a testament to the community locally that we all wanted to take part and had such a giggle! Being silly every now and then is so good for the soul!

Eric On The Bay! ☀️🌊🕺📸

On 14 July, more than 100 people recreated Morecambe and Wise’s iconic skipping pose on South Beach as part of ‘Eric On The Bay’, a unique performance art and photography installation celebrating Eric Morecambe’s 100th anniversary.

Captured from directly overhead in the low evening sunshine, this spectacular aerial image turns their shadows into a whole new cast of shadow Erics.
