Ally Bally's Blog

From this Thursday I’m going to be introducing a new feature called Ally Bally’s Voicemail. I hope it’s a success, but if not, it’ll be a shortlived kinda thing!

Anyway, the idea is that you save my phone number in your phone book and call up the Ally Bally voicemail recorder, either anonymously, or if you feel like sharing your name, then feel free!

The number you will need to call is 0843 2895653. You can call it at any time, but I’m guessing I’ll probably receive most calls at 2 in the morning after a night on the town!

The more outrageous your calls the better, I have the first one lined up, courtesy of mr Andy Ross of Edinburgh. Thanks for your fine vocal talents Andy, I hope you enjoyed your Kebab!

So, I guess that’s all for now, except to say keep tuning in to the Ally Bally show – next on air on Thursday evening at 6pm-8pm GMT only on Inverclyde Radio!

The number is a lo-call rate number, calls are charged at the average local call rate from landlines but will cost more from mobile phones. Do not forget to ask the bill payers permission before phoning. The Ally Bally Show reserves the right to edit and remove profanity from recordings where deemed not appropriate for the listener audience. We cannot guarantee to play all calls but will make best efforts to do so.

Hi peeps,

Just to let you know that the Ally Bally show starts earlier than usually billed this evening at 5.30pm GMT, so I’ll be on an extra half hour. Anyway, plugging aside, here’s this weeks website of the week, which isn’t really a website, but a great video mashup of Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit and Lady Gaga’s Poker Face. Now, folks that regularly listen to the show might know that I’m not exactly Lady (ahem) Gaga’s number one fan, but this mashup is clearly inspired.

I’ll play it on the show tonight as well, but it may be the one and only time it gets aired as it appears that EMI have put out a cease and desist order against the creator of the mashup, known as ‘DJ Lobsterdust’.

Here’s the video:

Meh! Last show from the actual studios of Inverclyde fm is tomorrow evening 6-8. After then the show will be coming from Edinburgh on Saturday at 1pm if everything goes to plan.

Fingers crossed!

The day has come, the boxes are packed. I’m off to get the Transit van and drive all our loot through to Edinburgh. Meh!

The last show broadcast from the studios of Inverclyde FM will be Wednesday evening at 6pm, and from then folks, they’ll all be from my own studio in Edinburgh.

Please note I will be keeping the show relevant to Inverclyde and will give you all the events and weather as usual.

Wish me luck, moving back in with the folks isn’t exactly how I had 2009 planned out!

If you’ve never tuned into the Ally Bally show, regardless of where you live in the world, why not tune in today from 1PM GMT, lots of fun, great music, your requests and gossip.

As I said a couple of blogs ago, I’ll be in the Oak Mall shopping centre as part of St Andrews Day & Homecoming Scotland 2009’s finale. The Christmas tree lights will also be switched on later, but there will be lots of song and dance, live music, bands and other great stuff happening in the Oak Mall from 11am tomorrow morning. I’ll be on air at the usual time of 1pm but I reckon I’ll be along a little earlier.

Highlights include songs, dance and music from Port Glasgow High School, as well as local primary schools. A farmers market will be available in Clyde Square (weather permitting) and lots more besides.

You can catch the Inverclyde FM mob just by O’Briens sandwich bar in the Oak Mall. Thanks to iZone web cafe for helping with the rig on the day.

Remember to pop up and say Howdy Doody to me and I’ll give you a shout out on air!
