SaxPac Impress BBC Radio Merseyside Listeners

We arrived at 10pm, 30 minutes before the show, to warm up and get prepared. We were excited and slightly apprehensive, as none of us had ever been on the radio before. Linda McDermott, our lovely host, instantly put us at our ease, with offers of cakes, sweets and comic books!

We were dressed all in black, our performance gear. After tuning up and a quick practice in the warm-up area, we were summoned into the actualrecording studio.

I was surprised as to how small the studio actually was! We squeezed past the members of the panel, who were already seated, and set up in the available space.

We were asked to introduce ourselves, and then launched into action! (The rest can be heard on BBC iPlayer.)

We received a host of positive tweets, while the show was still on, including one all the way from Rhode Island.

Here’s what Linda McDermott had to say about us:

“Well what a lovely night with the youngsters – my goodness they are SO good!! What a joy they are to be with and so talented! I was bowled over and listeners have given great feedback on the message boards. Saxpac – you rock! Can’t wait to hear more from them next Friday at the show.”

We would like to thank Miss Chagla and the Breast Team at St. Helens and Knowsley Trust for inviting us to perform at their charity event next week and giving us this fantastic opportunity to play live on the radio.
