Catch him on Sunday evenings for a weekly foray into the local brass band scene. "I started to learn the tenor horn with Torpoint Town Band as a teenager but, by the age of 20, I'd decided that other things were more important," says Phillip. However his enthusiasm for brass band music remained and a few years later he became involved in the administrative side of the brass band movement with The South West Brass Band Association, serving on local and national bodies for many years. Enjoying the fresh air. "My introduction to broadcasting came in January 1983, the year Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio Devon went on air. It was extended to Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio Cornwall and Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio Jersey in 1994 followed by Guernsey, Bristol, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire in 2004 and is now available worldwide on the internet through the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ iPlayer. Highlights"There've been many highlights over the years," he continues. "To have a theme tune written especially for the programme was a great honour and then to have it recorded by the most famous brass band in the world was the icing on the cake." last updated: 14/01/2009 at 11:20 You are in: Devon > Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio Devon > Who's On Air? > Phillip Hunt |
