Felixstowe Radio

Don’t get excited but Felixstowe now has an online radio station at www.felixstoweradio.co.uk. We plan to interview local people and play music by local musicians. It will also cast a bleary eye over the actions of our local councils. It starts with chats to Suffolk poet Wendy Mulford, Rendlesham publisher Patricia Eve of Seafarer Books and Doreen Rayner, Felixstowe historian.

Featured music at present comes from John Goodluck, who many will know from his time at BBC Radio Suffolk, Anglia TV and many clubs and pubs around the county.
We hope to complement Felixstowe TV and the new local paper, Inside Felixstowe, to serve Felixstowe people. There’s a look at Felixstowe’s only cycleway on the home page, just scroll down to find it.

You can either choose the talks you want to hear or click on the jukebox for continuous play. This is not meant to be a commercial station; it is just an old duffer wanting to give something to the town, and in so doing adding to the richness of the community. There are some great people out there, and we plan to give some a voice.
