PPL IS PROUD TO BE A SPONSOR OF THE STUDENT RADIO AWARDS.WE WISH MUCH SUCCESS TO ALL NOMINEES. BOTH TONIGHT AND ALSO IN THE FUTURE!
PPL, founded in 1934, is the music licensing company which, on behalf of 47,500 performers and 6,300 record companies, licenses the use of recorded music in the UK. This enables TV and radio stations, online streaming services and hundreds of thousands of shops, pubs and others using music in their business to obtain a licence comprising millions of recordings.
As a music industry service, the company does not retain any profit for itself. The costs of collecting, processing and distributing the licence fees are taken from the gross revenues that the company collects which are distributed and paid to all PPL’s record company and performer members. These include featured artists as well as session musicians, ranging from orchestral players to percussionists and to singers.
In addition, the company collects international performance rights income for 80% of its members and this revenue stream is currently the fastest growing area of the company. PPL now has representation in 28 different countries around the world, which has resulted in 52 separate contracts with similar organisations, representing a further 2,000 overseas record companies and 21,000 performers for the collection of income generated by their respective rights in the UK.

Welcome to the Student Radio Awards 2011!
Congratulations to all of you nominated, and well done to everyone else for coming along to show support. What you’ve created at your respective student radio stations all around the UK has been amazing and of a really high quality. Those of you who are nominated are a true testament to that. The imagination, organisation and dedication that goes into reading, producing, presenting and then bringing to life your radio shows takes an enormous amount of effort and talent. So tonight is a huge ‘big up’ to you all for being great!
Scott and I are looking forward being your hosts tonight, and we’ve decided to throw Huw to the lions, so he’s in the crowd with you - catch him to say “hi”.
BBC Radio 1 is once again very pleased to be a major supporter of the Awards, now in it’s 16th year. A big thanks goes to Andy Parfitt, Ben Cooper, Neil Sloan and Jocelin Stainer all of whom have put in lots of work to make tonight possible. We would like to take this opportunity to thank and welcome all the other radio groups, stations, and companies, who have been part of supporting this year’s Awards. We would like to thank our other supporters throughout the BBC for understanding that student radio is something that we all as an industry need to stand up and support.
I would like to make a special thanks to the SRA Executive and Officers for working tirelessly behind the scenes, and to all of you who decided to enter in the first place. Without your entries, over 130 judges would have had an easy summer! Thanks to them for spending their own free time to listen and comment.
Finally a big thanks to those who helped put the production of this evening together - Chris North, John Lawley and others at Wise Buddah and the team at Solent Productions.
Tonight starts the first of my three years as Chair of the Awards, and I’m hugely grateful to the SRA for giving me the opportunity to take up the role. I look forward to closely working with many of you in the future. I’m such a fan of the passion and talent that’s in student radio and I’m sure that you will never disappoint.
Have a raving, raucous and wonderful night!
Annie.

Scott is the extremely popular host of Radio 1’s Scott Mills Show broadcasting across the UK every afternoon between 4-7pm. Scott was awarded the Sony Gold Music Radio Personality of the Year 2010 Award. Scott has had an incredible year so far, it kicked off with the hugely successful 2011 BT Comic Relief Camel Trek to Kenya where he walked alongside 8 celebrity names for hundreds of miles across the dessert in intense heat and difficult conditions- an experience Scott will never forget. He also presented BBC3’s ‘Three at the Fringe’ show in August 2011, following his Radio 1 show broadcasting from the EdinburghFringe Festival all week for the third year running.

She also continues to co-present with Nick Grimshaw on Sundays from 10-12pm. Annie is also a talented club DJ and is booked regularly to play the UKs most credible clubs. Annie regularly runs an annual DJ tour called ‘Annie Mac Presents’ which she has hosted for 3 years running.

Huw joined Radio 1 at the extremely young age of 17 and has since gone from strength to strength. Huw now presents weekend afternoons on Radio 1 (1pm - 4pm) and also hosts his show BBC Introducing in England on Radio 1 (Thursday midnight - 2am) which concentrates on the finest new music and unpredictable emerging talent. Huw regularly deputises for Zane Lowe, and on occasion, Greg James and Fearne Cotton. Being very proudly Welsh and with the language being his mother tongue, he presents a weekly Monday evening programme on C2 for BBC Radio Cymru, the Welsh language radio station, playing the best in new music.

Cardiff played host to the I Love Student Radio day for Wales and the South West of England, which saw a good turnout this year, including one Ruth Jones! The training day was held in the main building of the city’s prestigious University, featuring speakers from across the region to give advice and support to everyone involved in student radio. The speakers included Danielle, who talked about creating a decent radio demo with support from The Pips, Emma Gilliam, who discussed good interview eitquette and how to get into broadcast journalism, and Steve Austin, who gave a good insight into production for radio - a particular highlight came when he revealed that BBC Wales will be setting up a work experience scheme with Xpress Radio in Cardiff.
The evening was just as eventful, with the attendees being treated to seeing a recording of “What’s The Story?”, a topical news panel show produced by Dave Cribb, with Dan Mitchell and Ruth Jones as guests - the latter of which ended up reading out the nominations for the Student Radio Awards later in the evening! With many attendees seeing fit to catch the last trains home, the day was seen off with a few pints of beer and calls to repeat it soon. A good time was had by all and all that is left is to wait for the Student Radio Awards!

The I Love Student Radio Day, ‘North West & North Wales, Edition’ started down in the deep and dimly lit chambers of Manchester’s Club Academy. Our first speaker was John Ryan, Editor of BBC Manchester, who kicked off the day by telling us what was actually going on in MediaCity UK and how many people we had to battle off for a job. The next speaker we had was Alex James, presenter of In:Demand for Bauer Media, who spoke about presenting in commercial radio. The rest of the day included talks on production, speech radio and demos from other top industry speakers, including Chris Stevens from GMG, Jo Meek from Wise Buddah, Mel Harris from Sparklab productions and Jo Good from BBC 6 Music. It was a great day for people in the NW to meet the speakers, but also each other. We had students from Liverpool, Chester, Salford and Lancaster to join the Manchester ranks of radio enthusiasts- what a good start to the first ever I Love Student Radio Day! Adam Catterall, King of the North, was there to read out the nominations at 8pm to a crowd of eager and excited students. The windows nearly burst with the cheers for our two nominations, one for Ben Arnold in Best Specilaist Music Programming and the other for James Robinson in Best Male- a massive well done to both of those chaps. As the announcements came to a close, the boat pulled into MediaCity UK. With the lights of the buildings of some of the UK’s biggest and best media companies beaming down on us, it was hard to not get excited about the future of radio in the North West. But for now, we’ll just have to remain excited for the Awards in November- bring them on!
North West & North Wales
This year the I Love Student Radio Day was hosted by Radio Caley at Glasgow Caledonian University, with a turn out of 80 students from various stations from across the country. It was great to see members attending from; Discover Radio (Dundee), Fresh Air (Edinburgh), Air3 Radio (Stirling), Fusion Radio, Glasgow City College Radio, Radio Caley and Subcity (Glasgow).
The Training Event featured a variety of speakers including Barbara Wallace (Senior Music Producer at BBC Radio Scotland), Ally McCrae (Presenter at BBC Introducing), Dougie Jackson (Former Presenter at Scot FM, Clyde 1, Real Radio, Smooth) and a contribution from Subcity Radio. We had some fantastics talks focusing on a variety of subjects; production, presenting, podcasts and community radio stations.
The evening networking event proved very successful, we would like to extend a massive thank you to our wonderful hosts at The Flying Duck. For the evenings entertainment we had former Subcity and Radio Caley presenters DJing into the night.
Good luck to all the nominees!

This year we held the first I Love Student Radio Day - the day was designed to bring together the best of student radio - the student radio awards, networking and training into one event at the start of the new term. All the Regional Officers have worked extremely hard to put on I Love Student Radio days in every Region of the country tailoring the events to the needs of members locally and building relationships with student radio members and industry professionals in the area.

North East & Yorkshire I Love Student Radio day was a great day for the students of stations in the region, held at Click Teesside. Greg McInally, from Napier University 10 years ago, gave the students a great speech on the workload and typical days of a breakfast producer at Real Radio. His vast knowledge base was clearly on show and he was a passionate speaker.The night went very well, with a few surprised screams when people were nominated and had not been expecting it. Click Teesside gave us a great speech on how they run, including a great show of their technical side.
The anticipation was tangible whilst the nominations were read out in the evening, with roars of appreciate when a station from the region was nominated, and respectful applause when no regional stations were nominated. The night went very well and a few surprised screams when people got nominated when not expecting it. The North East & Yorkshire has been well represented and good luck to all nominated individuals and stations from the region.
A big thank you goes to Lee Sevenoaks, Dominic Dunn and Rachael Devine for all the help they gave in the lead up. Thank you also to John McInally, Marie Gardiner and Mark Black for taking time out to speak to the students who turned up.
North East & Yorkshire
The London & East Anglia I Love Student Radio Day was in Camden this year. It had an enormous turn out of 200 attendees from all over the region and they enjoyed a Training Event in the day time and a Nominations Party in the evening. The training event featured speakers from all over the industry, including Mark Crossley (Absolute Radio), Maddi Lown (BBC R1 Newsbeat), Verity Geere (Sky News and Magic), Emma Stephens (BBC Radio 1Xtra), Jacob Rickard (Freelance) and many more. The talks focused on radio production, presentation and journalism.
Lock 17 in Camden sponsored the event and the Nominations Party was held in the canal side Market Bar. People flocked to the party which was hosted by Jon Hillcock and Vicki Blight to drink, socialise and celebrate/commiserate. Smoke Radio clawed the most nominations from the London & East Anglia region, but there was also a large number of URN-ers and LSR-ers cheering, an almost multi-regional Nominations Party.
A massive thanks has to go to Lock 17 in Camden for sponsoring the event, as well as Wise Buddah, ASRA, everyone that helped out and made the event possible, photography by Ila Desai and everyone that came and enjoyed themselves.
London & East Anglia
The event started at 11am in Brighton at ‘Komedia’. The first speaker Gav’from The Pips spent the first hour formally chatting about the best ways to submit, produce and create a demo. Then at 1.30pm Andy took the stage to chat about his life experience with radio and generally giving us all an education. Nick Bright, from BBC Radio 1Xtra, spoke passionately about his journey into radio, this particularly captured our attentions as he had only recently graduated from university. All three speakers were fantastic and spent the next half an hour chatting to the students.
Moving onto the next secluded and mature venue ‘Kuba’ , it was the start of a good night chatting, drinking, laughing and partying. 8pm came around quite quickly and by then we were itching to know the results. After reading the results there were mixed emotions from everyone, and after that there were celebratory drinks all around. Everyone by then was quite tired and eager to keep partying but commitments meant that they all had to go around 9.30pm.
A massive thank you to all of the students that came down to the training day and evening event. Thank you to ‘Komedia’ and ‘Kuba’ for having us, you were very professional and did a lot to help me make it a success. Another thank you to the speakers, Gav, Andy and Nick, you made it the perfect training day! A special thank you to my sponsor for the evening Mr Michael Stringer of Flip-It!
South East
MidlandsThe programme for the day was filled with speakers providing a selection of insight for the budding talent of tomorrow. Stafford FM’s Ray Crowther came in to represent community radio. He gave an informative insight into what it’s like to set up your own radio station, based on his wealth of experience. BBC Radio Stoke employees, Qasa Alom, Rob Adcock and Scott Thomas, as well as former Staffs Uni student and UTV freelancer Gaz Ryder, provided tales of personal trial and error and a helpful insight on how they each found their place in the industry. Joining us to give a round up of radio’s history was Mike Owen, founder of multimedia company Mike Owen Media. He talked about his experiences working in the different areas of radio over the years, finishing up in the current day, explaining how his company provides radio output for some of the biggest events in the country.
As the hopefuls joined us at the nominations party, the buzz in the room exuded anticipation. Adam Wilbourn (BRMB, Student Radio Awards Judge, and multiple Student Radio Awards winner) joined the party to present the nominations, his energy added to the tension as each station found out if they were nominated. It was definitely a bit disappointing for some and others were clearly over the moon. Overall the day was a success and I wish the best of luck to all nominated.

At the beginning of each year professionals from across the radio industry dedicate their time to judging the Student Radio Awards. This year there were 536 entries, the process took about two months and over one hundred and thirty judges were involved.
The Association of Student Radio Alumni (ASRA) co-ordinates the judging process on behalf of the SRA. This ensures impartiality and brings an extensive set of contacts from across the industry. Thank you to the committee who spent the summer getting in touch with professionals from commercial radio stations, BBC radio stations, independent production companies and student radio alumni to invite them to judge the Awards.
Thank you to this year’s judging co-ordinators: Tim Dye, Sarah Ghost, Jonathan Pascoe and Abi Willey. They planned the judging of each category to make sure all entries were considered by at least two judges and that no judge was tasked with listening to an unmanageable amount of entries. The online judging system was made available thanks to the SRA’s Web Officer, Scott Robinson, who built the site and managed it throughout the judging process.
Thank you to the eleven judges who also took on the role of chairing a category this year. They were responsible for briefing their category’s judges and working with them to reach a decision.
And finally, thank you to all of the judges involved. They have dedicated their time to listening to all 536 entries, documented their feedback and made the difficult decision of who to award at this year’s ceremony. Thanks to them this year has seen an unprecedented level of judging feedback that will enable students to learn, improve, and continue to deliver outstanding radio for the future.
Sarah GhostASRA
Demon FM
Sarah got involved with student radio at Demon FM (De Montfort University) as a presenter, producer, newsreader, events coordinator and general Station Manager’s bitch. She was elected as Secretary at the SRA Bath Conference 2008 and quickly became an SRA stalwart, redefining her role to become Membership & Communications Officer, wielding an iron fist of organisation over her fellow officers, and refusing to leave the SRA for three years. Sarah works full-time as a Communications Officer for a London university, is a member of the ASRA Committee, and continues to harass the current SRA Executive.

Tim DyeBBC Audio & Music
1449AM URB
Tim got involved with student radio at 1449AM URB (Bath University) initially intending to just do a show once a week, but ended up becoming Head of Marketing and then the Station Manager. Instead of getting out of student radio when he graduated, Tim was elected to become Marketing Officer for the Student Radio Association (SRA) and then the Chair of the SRA the following year. After three years working at BBC 6 Music and BBC Radio 2, he is now on a three month attachment at BBC Audio & Music HQ working on a variety of projects.
Abi WilleyITN Productions
LCR
My radio career didn’t really take off after LCR so I had a go at organising events at The Radio Academy before trying out website editing at KISS & Magic 105.4. That went really well, so I moved to integrated marketing agency Big, to create and develop digital platforms for all sorts of other brands.

ABSOLUTE RADIO & USP CONTENT ARE PROUD TO SUPPORT STUDENT RADIO
During the Easter holidays in 2011, over 40 student stations arrived at the University of Hertfordshire for a 3 day conference with some of the biggest names in the radio industry taking part in talks, practical sessions and discussions. Around 350 people attended the biggest conference the Student Radio Association has held to date. There were sessions on a wide range of subjects ranging from Engineering to Presenting and from Sports Programming to DJ-ing, the National Student Radio Conference 2011 had every area of the industry covered. We also had some great interviews and panel sessions including Absolute Radio’s Dave Gorman being interviewed by Geoff
Lloyd, and a panel of radio pro’s talking about the future for the industry. The conference was hosted by Crush Radio volunteers (the tangerines) who gained invaluable experience and knowledge from the event. Many of which, alongside students that attended, went on to find work placements and jobs through the contacts they made over the event. The National Student Radio Conference 2011 was a massive success, here are some of the highlights: The I Love Student Radio Awards:Supported by Absolute Radio, The I Love Student Radio Awards 2011 recognised talent, dedication and commitment behind the person on the microphone, with categories such as Volunteer of the Year, Charity Champion, Outstanding Contribution to Student Radio and Station Manager of the Year. The evening was hosted by Ian Lee, who brought his cheeky charm and wit to proceedings, whilst getting the crowd excited and in the mood for the night of entertainment ahead.
Demo FactorThe Judges were back for the event that everyone was talking about, Demo Factor 2011! Chris North, Vicki Blight, Sam Gregory, Neil Sloan & Rob Watson listened to student’s demos live on stage and gave feedback in front of a packed auditorium. Adam Catterall was on hand to decipher the judge’s feedback, console
those that needed it and celebrate with those students that made it to the end of their demo in one piece.
Steve Lamacq Live from The EleHouseBBC 6Music’s Steve Lamacq broadcasted his 4-7pm show live from the pub on campus, giving delegates the chance to watch and be involved with his drive time show. This created a great atmosphere around the Students’ Union as conference speakers and students came together over a pint to watch the legend in action.
The Student Vs. Industry Sound ClashFor the first time at the National Student Radio Conference 2011, we launched a live battle between our best student DJ’s and some of the industry’s finest. They were all competing for the audiences vote of being crowed champion live on The Forum Hertfordshire stage. Madam X (Fuse FM), Calum Hider (107 Spark FM), DJ Premz (Fly FM), Amy Brown (One Media Radio) & Mikey J (KCL Radio) were fighting on behalf Student Radio DJ’s and battled it out against Grag James, Dan O’Connell, Christian Nash, Goldie Rocks & Nick Bright, who were representing the industry.
WestwoodA firm favorite with the SRA crowd, Tim Westwood took to the stage on the Tuesday evening to finish off two nights of fantastic entertainment with a live set on the decks.

For those who may not know, every year at the Student Radio Conference a new voice is chosen to record all the announcements for tonights now legendary awards ceremony. Former winners and runners up have gone on to become professional voice over artistes working with stations such as BBC Radio 1 and BBC 1Xtra.
This year auditionees had to impress judges Matt Fisher (Station Sound Producer, BBC Radio 1 & BBC Radio 1Xtra), John Lawley (Talent Manager, Wise Buddah Voice Over Agency) and Matt Wilkinson (Presenter, Heart FM and the voice of Blockbuster).
Congratulations to the winners, Hollie Clarke and Ryan Arnold, whose voices will be delighting our auditory senses with the ceremony announcements this evening. As well as recording the audio for tonight, their prize includes the chance to record their very own personalised professional voice reel produced by Wise Buddah and a further voice audition with BBC Radio 1.
Thanks to the judges for their time and support and to Crush Radio for making the trip to Hatfield so much fun. Thanks to Ben Townsend and his excellent compositions for tonight’s Awards theme and, of course, Wise Buddah Studios for their time, patience and as ever, fast turn around.
Enjoy your Evening,John Lawley
To find out more about the Wise Buddah Voice Over Agency please visit: www.wisebuddahvoices.com
Hollie Clarke is a former station manager of Shock Radio and has been heavily involved with student radio for three years. While she admits that she absolutely loved it unfortunately she’s now graduated but is really excited to be the Voice of the Awards this evening.
Ryan Arnold is currently in his final year studying Radio Production at De Montfort University in Leicester and played a big role at Demon FM both presenting and producing shows for the station. He’s also a professional DJ and plays weekly residencies at some of the biggest clubs in Leicester.
Ben Townsend ran URN from 2008 - 2010 during which time he produced a complete overhaul of their station sound, from beds and news themes, to IDs and ‘Ntros’.
Since then he has worked at BBC Radio 5 live; on jingle packages for stations in Canada and Ireland; and spoken at the National Student Radio Conference 2011, Lambeth College and on the podcast series ‘The Earshot Creative Review’ about his work in student radio.
He is now a freelance radio imaging and music producer who has worked most recently with Wise Buddah Jingles and Music Imaging, and on station sound at BBC Radio 1.
Kevin was one of the very best at his craft. Where ever he was asked to present a radio show he was always able to instill his uniquely entertaining and dry sense of humour into even the tightest of radio formats.
Whether it was a commercial music format during his time at Smooth Radio and XFM or a more speech based format whilst presenting the BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show and various shows across BBC Radio 5 Live; he took a delight in perfecting the production and preparation of each and every small element of his show.
It was this attention to detail and absolute focus on the output and that made his style of broadcasting seem effortless. Whether it was the ‘Joke du jour’, ’60 second cinema’ or one of the characters he created such as ‘Major Hold-Ups’, the punch line had to entertain, and always did.
Tonight the fourth Kevin Greening Award will be presented to a very worthy winner; a piece of radio that follows Kevin’s own radio philosophy and which highlights the spirit and creativity of all
those who have ever been involved with student radio.
Kevin started off in radio at a student station and during his professional career always took an active role in its promotion, especially during his tenure as Chair of these Awards. He was a genuinely warm and generous person and it’s a testament to his adaptability as a presenter that so many stations were eager to employ him. It was an absolute honour and privilege to have managed such a driven and inspirational broadcaster.

Everything about tonight would not have been possible without the support, guidance and job-endangering dedication of some of the people below. There is simply not enough room to properly mention everyone, but we want you all to know that we truly appreciate everything you’ve done for us this year - even if it meant giving Kyle a hi-five when he was feeling stressed out! Thankyou, from the bottom of our hearts!
The level of support we receive from the professional industry constantly surprises us and it’s only thanks to all our sponsors that we can put on such a fantastic event tonight. A huge “cheers” must go to each of them for their continuing to support and dedication to student radio. A special thanks must go to BBC Radio 1. As headline sponsors they have helped us our every step along the way. We’d like to take this moment to mention former Controller, Andy Parfitt who has always been a fantastic supporter of student radio. During his time at BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 1Xtra he managed to raise the profile of student radio throughout the industry, proving its importance and standing. Andy, thank you. In the same breath I’d like to congratulate Ben Cooper as the new Controller of BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 1Xtra, for agreeing to continue the fabulous support that his two stations give us. Also at Radio 1 we’d like to thank Jocelin Stainer who has been a fantastic liaison between the SRA and Yalding House. We would also like to thank our co-headline sponsors, PPL, for their continued support of the Awards. But there’s more! I’d like to recognize other areas of the BBC for helping with this year’s awards: Radio 4, Radio 5 Live and 6Music, who have all been fantastic to work with and really enjoy supporting student radio!
I am particularly pleased, this year, to be able to include sponsors from right across the radio industry. Special thanks must go to Paul Sylvester of Absolute Radio, James Rea and Chris Stevens from GMG Radio, Ric Blaxhill of Bauer Media, Sam Gregory from Round2 Creative, Steve Martin and Jonathan Jacob from Earshot Creative, alongside representatives from NDL for sponsoring our VIP bar tonight, and UBC Media for sponsoring our meal!
A massive thank you must to go all of this year’s judges (over 130 of them!). These people dedicate a huge amount of their valuable personal time to make the awards possible - all because they enjoy encouraging new talent, and supporting student radio. We would like to thank our Head Judges Tim Dye, Sarah Ghost, Abi Willey and Jonathan Pascoe, who have had the hard task of marshaling judges up and down the country. Special thanks must go to Sarah Ghost who once again has gone above and beyond the required workload and been a huge help to the SRA Executive over the past few months.
Thanks also to Annie Mac, Chair of the Awards, and our hosts tonight, Scott Mills, and Huw Stephens. This is Annie’s first year as Chair of the Awards, we hope that she’ll love it, and will continue to help support student radio in the coming years. Many thanks also to John Lawley, Chris North and everyone at Wise Buddah for putting together the majority of tonight’s audio and videos, especially to Ben Townsend for creating our soundtrack for this evening. Thanks to Scott Robinson (also our Web Officer), who tonight is running our live stream, live blogging and social media output, and to Adam Edworthy for our amazing awards graphics. Also Kenny England who is the SRA’s super designer, who had the huge job of putting together this very thing you hold in your hands!
I’d also like to thank Solent Productions for being brilliant in filming the awards, and always picking up on new suggestions to improve their output for us and to the London South Bank University photographers (make sure you smile for them)! Thanks
to Kenny and Lorna from IndigO2 for allowing us to hassle them for the fourth year running.
The SRA Executive also deserve a huge thank you for their tireless efforts in coordinating this year’s awards, particularly our events officer, Kyle Wilkinson. Special thanks also go to Matt Hurst, who deals with the SRA’s finances and makes sure we don’t go bankrupt, Thom Palser, our membership and communications officer, Laurence Moreton our marketing officer for securing a lot of support for external companies and radio groups. Lee Sevenoaks, and his team of regional officers for arranging last month’s regional nominations and our first ever I Love Student Radio Day events.
Just before the ‘finally’, I’d like to give a special mention to Jonathan Jacob who we asked to come on board for a second year as production manager for the evening. I’m sure any ‘normal’ production manager wouldn’t do half the things that JJ has helped us with this year! Well and truly above and beyond the call of duty - JJ, thank you!
Finally I’d like to thank YOU - the up and comers - for making tonight the reason we all get together, celebrate and get excited about the future of the industry! You’re awesome!
Cheers!
