Just to let you know, we are a semi-pro outfit in Nottingham. We’ve formed “Trent FM Limited” and we arer launching a live 24 hour online station at http://www.trent301.co.uk and http://www.trent.fm on 01 June 2011 designed to recapure the magic of 1980s Radio Trent and provide a genuine local broadcasting service for Nottingham. We are a non-for-profit company and are desperately looking for any ex-Trent staff to voice track programming – help us to create the station Nottingham craves.

‘Gosh’ ~ to use a ‘Lloydism’ what a fluid writer you are young David!

Okay, I’ll be REALLY embarrasing and let anyone who gets this far down the list of responses…. know that I’m VERY proud I gave you that job at ‘Radio Trent 301′ (that dates me AND you) back in 1979. I was ‘concerned’ when you moved down to (our) Leicester Sound and got so independent ~ then ‘impressesd’ when you went to Lincs FM (and made it a great station’ and well, after that.. HOW ON EARTH did you manage to ‘do do do what ya did did did) for Galaxy, LBC (I still wish you’d bought that JAM jingle package!) and then the incredible switch to Virgin, whilst simultaneously being the *star* presenter on Saga Radio… which ‘splodged’ in sMOoTh Radio ! And now you are a BEEB boy in Nottingham. I’m sure I must have missed a few of your stations off the list (of course you did the launch GEM OB and later Sunday mornings). So your leaving note here has prompted me to say that I’m ‘proud’ (second time) of you for having so much visonimaginationoriginality in both your broadcasting and management style, and I know that wherever the magnetic draw of the might medium of radio leads you it will benefit an audience yet to discover the zest of ‘Dynamo David’ ! Hey, it’s 30 years in 2009 since I gave you your first job (did I mention that earlier?) so do reward yourself with a month in Mykonos, or maybe as you AGE somewhere sedate like central Portugal might fit the bill? Wherever you go, ‘Have a Golden [square] Day’!

Bye, David! I’m from Brazil, I’ve been listening to Virgin online for years, and I’m sad to say I’m very disappointed with the change into ‘Absolute’. But I hope you guys make it as successful as before.

And, by the way, we are always GMT -3 hours here. :o)

‘Some stations are just breeze blocks and no spirit. Anonymous buildings on industrial estates full of anonymous people.’

I Betton know which company you have in mind. Still, mustn’t take the Michael.

The video for David was awesome. Thank you for sharing that.

Good luck, David in your future endeavors. It has been a pleasure listening during your tenure.

Wow…

David your a lucky man

If anything I think that video should be used as the new TV. Absolute Radio is a family who share one great purpose; great music – new and old.

In the modified words of Geoff;
Its not our radio station, its yours.

(btw any jobs going, I make really good cups of tea and if your lucking I might even get you a party ring)
