With a heavy heart I break the news that Inverclyde Radio and I will be parting ways as of Saturday 29th May 29th. I have had the best of fun at Inverclyde Radio and although Inverclyde Radio are going through some huge changes just now (that’s for them to tell you all about), I wish them all the very best for the future.

This Monday (tomorrow, 17th May), I will be doing a pilot show on Brick FM which is in the Scottish Borders on 106.9 FM in the St. Boswells and Newtown area. If you are down in those parts, please do listen in!

Be part of the WWF’s Earth Hour on 27th Feb

allybally — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 20:18:37 +0000

The WWF is embarking on ‘Earth Hour 2010′ on March 27th at 8.30pm. I would really love to put Inverclyde on the map and show that Inverclyde, although small is serious about climate change. By switching off your lights for just one hour and signing up at the WWF website you can make a big difference towards making a stand against climate change, and put Inverclyde on the map as a region that cares about it.

Hey! I’m Ally Bally, otherwise known as DJ Haggis. I present a radio show on Howick Village Radio, a local radio station based in Howick, East Auckland, New Zealand. You can listen to me live every Sunday night from 6pm. On this blog you will find all the shenanigans I get up to on the radio. There’s also some stuff on my previous radio ventures on Inverclyde FM, Fresh Air FM, SubCity Radio and Mayfield Radio.

I’m also a bit of a foodie, so some of my recipes are on here so you can cook them at home.

Calling all motorists!

allybally — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 19:23:50 +0000

Today is the last chance to sign the fuel duty petition on the Prime Minister’s website to reverse the sneaky 2p fuel tax rise that came in January.

Nearly 100,000 people have already signed the petition to get the tax rise reversed.

We only have until lunchtime tomorrow (12th March) to let the government know that fuel tax rises like this are the last thing that our country needs in a recession.

So if you’d like to join me in signing the petition, the link is here:

Thanks to Brendan McLoughlin for this information.

It’s about time they listen to motorists!
