New Jingles for Station

   Alan Dedicoat
Hospital Radio Norwich has updated some of it jingles with the help of Alan Dedicoat (Voice of the balls & Strictly Come Dancing.)  Whilst at the Hospital Broadcasting Association's annual conference our chairman met Alan and asked if he could record some audio links for us. He was more than happy to do so and they have now been edited at our own studio into a new selection of Jingles. These will promote our request show and  station identification making the station sound even better.
