BIO: SHOW

This comedy show aims to keep listeners tuned in by helping them to escape from the working week with content that is both side-splittingly funny and thought-provokingly intriguing.  From playing on-air radio games like 'Fill in the blank, you blanking little blank' to, debating whether social media is taking over young people's lives, this show wants to interact with the audience of Stevenage.  With this in mind, the show will constantly investigate the latest news in the town, including looking at the football teams around Hertfordshire including Stevenage FC and Hitchin Town FC.  Original, silly, hilarious and informative are just a few words future listeners will be using to describe Sessions with Sean Fitzgerald on SG1 Radio.

BIO: SEAN

Hi, I'm Sean and you're probably already reading this in a radio broadcaster's voice.  If you are not, then that's absolutely fine as well.  Anyway!  I'm 25 years old and I've lived in Stevenage for nearly all of my life.  Admittedly, I did briefly tear myself away from the town to live in Leicester to study at university and to work for the county's award winning radio station Demon FM.  My love for radio hasn't stopped from that moment and since then, I have gone on to commentate on football and rugby at Welford Road stadium, interview Teddy Sheringham and Claudio Ranieri, but most importantly, host radio-style game shows like 'fill in the blank, you blanking little blank' on podcasts like Sessions available on SoundCloud.

Mind Over Matter with Matt will inform, encourage and inspire you to look after your

mental health using open conversation and and an eclectic mix of music to warm your soul.

About show and music:

I will be speaking about mental health, encouraging listeners to participate and inviting guests on the show to talk about their journey with mental health and what they do to care for their minds. The music played will be inspirational and motivational using my own favourites and songs suggested by listeners and guests.

About me (1 short paragraph)

I'm a 41 year old husband and father of four. I live in the Old Town of Stevenage and have done so for the last 7 years after moving from North London.

I'm an avid radio listener which is helped by the time I have to listen when driving across the country in my current job as a trainer in the Water Industry.

My main passion these days apart from my lovely family is raising awareness on mental health issues and helping to abolish the stigma that still exists. I do this by being open with everyone about my own battle's with a lesser understood form of OCD which I've suffered with since i was eight years old.

ABOUT THE SHOW: Join Lee Filipek every Monday evening playing the best in Old School Hip Hop. The late 80s & early 90s is often referred to as The Golden Age of Hip Hop an era characterized by its diversity, quality, innovation and influence.

LEE FILIPEK:

Born in Hertfordshire Lee has spent the majority of his career being involved within the media industry. With a background working for the BBC, ITV and now working alongside art departments on some of the biggest Film & TV Productions.

His first steps into radio go back to the early 90s DJaying for 4 years on a dance music station (Vision FM). After a 7 year stint studying and a long career in the Film props industry Lee has recently ventured back into radio presenting two weekly shows on other radio stations and now joining the team of SG1.

BIO

Trudy - Hi, I’m a 47 year old mum of five and nan of one.  I come from a long line of family born and bred in Stevenage and feel passionate about keeping things real.  An eating disorder in my teens, struggling with OCD, 2 miscarriages, 2 children with epilepsy and the loss of my mother and brother just two years apart, gave me every reason to write as an outlet. I write humorous, witty verse with only one thing in mind - to create an emotion. I speak the unspoken. Expressing every small detail of my life in verse with humour and honesty.

I have created a business with my daughter Chanel and we now run a company selling Chilli Cards.  We are ladies on a mission to make the nation smile again.

Chanel - Hi, I’m a 23 year old, confident performer with a passion to connect with people. I have featured in many theatre productions as a child into my teens, trained to sing classically and had the privilege to gig around London with Amy Winehouse’s guitarist, Robin Banerjee. Coming from a very large and mainly female dominated family, we discovered that honesty is the best policy and has never failed to spark interesting conversation!

Working alongside my mum, we found that others appreciate our hilarious take on every day life and together created a business full of fun creative marketing ideas.

About your show: Trudy and Chanel are honest, real and relatable mother and daughter duo, believing that laughter is the best medicine. Starting off with a witty poem of the week to spark a conversation on current affairs, and finding ways to work through and understand real life problems with a humorous twist. Throwing in lots of great chart music to the mix we’re  guaranteed to lighten up your day!

About us:  Chilli Flair was founded by a mother and daughter who shared a mutual love for poetry and humour. They started writing greeting cards with a chilli twist, each with their own lovable character and unique personality, connecting its reader with an outburst of emotion. They then expanded their brand and started using poetry to make connections with a wider audience. They now provide creative ideas to build brand awareness and help to shape campaigns for larger companies. Poetry at the heart of all Chilli Flairs work.

WILL DOWNING BIOGRAPHY

Throughout a career that dates back to the early '80s, Will Downing has been among the steadiest and most productive artists in R&B. Not cut out to hop aboard commercial production trends for the sake of attaining mainstream success, he has tended to stick resolutely to a sophisticated and modern sound based in soul and jazz. He mixes refined originals with spirited covers, and combines his deep and rich voice with a restrained "song first" approach. Downing doesn't have many major singles by the standard measurement -- his version of Angela Bofill's "I Try" is his only Top 20 Billboard R&B hit -- but he has been a mainstay of the urban adult contemporary radio format. Six of his albums have reached the R&B Top 20.
