The team at All FM train over a hundred people every year from all walks of life to produce radio shows. Former All FM DJs include Paul Heaton from Beautiful South and Radio 1Xtra DJ Yasmin Evans.
The programme on the day will feature songs on the stoop, Eric’s 1-hour comedy school, a stoop sale with cakes and coffee and a CD sale. Special radio shows will be broadcast for 24 hours on the open day, including a show by one of the founders Phil Korbel.
