Hi everyone. I so hope that since last week’s column you have been well and have been taking the advice from a guest interviewed last week on 3TFM, Linda Tudhope of CAB, regarding how to keep those energy bills at a reasonable level by being sensible and putting into practice the advice that she gave, writes Louis Ferguson.

Archie Edgar is name which is well known to many people in Saltcoats, Ardrossan and Stevenston and for many reasons.

He was born and bred in the Three Towns, his career is based in the Three Towns and he broadcasts to the Three towns.

Archie has been a volunteer with 3TFM for almost six years and has from 3TFM’s infancy been a loyal supporter of what we do and are about. Outwith broadcasting his regular show “My Kind Of Music” on a Friday afternoon between 3–5pm, Archie is regarded as 3TFM’s Funding Officer and volunteers to fill out many forms on behalf of 3TFM all hoping to bring in money to the radio station to help finance us and help towards the stations sustainability.

A long task but required and appreciated from all at 3TFM.

This Friday, October 24, shortly after 10am, as part of the Insight series of programmes hosted by Eddie Gemmell, we shall be broadcasting an indepth interview with world famous Jan De Vries.

Eddie will be talking to Jan about his career, inspirations, the people whom he has met and helped.

An interview which is definitely not to be missed. So until next week as always keep warm, keep safe, look after yourselves and keep tuned to 103.1fm or listen in online via our website on www.3tfm.org.

History proves 3TFM is Ayrshires first and original as well as the Uk’s leading health promoting Community Radio Station which proves we play great music, chat to many interesting guests, run competitions and broadcast health information which is all provided free of charge and brought to you by our volunteers.
