21 July 2014 – The summer is here, the sun is shining (don’t mention the football) and the Radio Fox Roadshow is out and about around the county hosting our annual PA’s.
The first event of the season was held at the Police Headquarters Enderby on Saturday 5th July. Alan T and Jas Minhas did the Radio Fox honours amongst the police cars, helicopters, police dogs, riot squads and tasers – and that was just the queue for a cheeseburger.
More dates in the Radio Fox PA calendar are The Syston Carnival which will be held on Saturday 30th August 2014 and the Knighton Park Family Fun Day which will be on Sunday 7th September 2014. Keep your eye on this website for more details nearer the date. Make sure you come and say hello to the Radio Fox presenters at these events.

Rock music is set to return to Radio Fox.
From this Saturday (27th July) Richard Leatherland will be hosting The Leather & Denim Rock Show. The new programme will bring a rounded mix of classic rock just right for a Saturday night, including a featured group, album and year amongst other treats.
Richard was the regular stand in presenter on the long running Classic Rock Show, which ended earlier this year after Pete Bracey and Dave Rowe decided to take a break from presenting. He’s also no stranger to our Saturday line up, having been a regular presenter on our Saturday morning request show.
The Leather & Denim Rock Show can be heard between 8 & 10pm this Saturday and on 3rd August before it moves to its regular start time of 7pm from 10th August. Our popular Dancezone programme moves to a new time of 9pm from 10th August with Joe Shikely continuing to play classic floor fillers from the last 25 years.
