"D-lightful - Dad, DJ and the new Development Worker at Cue & Review!"

Cue and Review Recording Service is delighted to welcome back former Real Radio presenter and producer Liam McCann to its studios in Bishopbriggs.

Thanks to funding from the Scottish Government to install brand new broadcast-ready studios, Cue and Review have been able to call on Liam’s vast commercial radio experience to help drive it’s work forward into 2011 and beyond as Development Worker for the charity.

Liam arrived at Cue & Review six years ago on a training partnership programme, where he received the support, guidance and expert advice he needed to embark on his radio adventure. Since then Liam has worked with numerous radio stations, including Kingdom FM, and even helped produce the Real Radio Football phone-in. Now he has returned to his roots to help increase awareness of the great work done by the service for the visually impaired and the local community, and to also to aid in the development of new volunteers.

New dad and Bishopbriggs resident Liam said, “I’m hoping that the skills I now possess, the people I’ve met and the experiences I’ve had will all help drive the charity forward. I’m looking forward to doing all I can to increase our funding, enhance our volunteers’ skill-base and develop new, exciting ideas and products that the charity can provide. With fatherhood now a reality I’m hoping I can draw even more inspiration from those tiny wee hands and feet and all that comes with them!”

Cue and Review are always looking for enthusiastic volunteers to get involved with their services, whether that means presenting one of our programmes or tapes for the visually impaired community, producing and teching, assisting with the copying and distribution of our work or even helping with fundraising.

Managing Director of the service, Alastair McPhee said: “We are delighted to have Liam back. Thanks to him we are able to enhance the training we can give- not only to our volunteers but also to the people we are recruiting who are unemployed between 6 and 12 months and aged between 18 and 24 who may qualify for one of our 6-month full-time paid jobs.”

Liam is currently presenting on 96.7 West FM in Ayrshire, sister station of Radio Clyde, and still has ambitions to continue until someone tells him he’s rubbish… again.
