RADIO PRESENTER? YOU SAY?
Fragile Lucy started volunteering as a radio presenter for Fiesta 95 FM back in March 2022, hosting her “ukulele radio show”. Since then she has interviewed the likes of Phil Dolman, Marc Gallagher, Matthew Quilliam, Elizabeth Pfeiffer and Manitoba Hal, had some local players and groups come and play live in the studio including “Southampton Ukulele Jam” and has also been lucky enough to the interview the master of the ukulele “Jake Shimabukuro” as well as being gratefully received by a local listeners the show has reached audiences as far as the USA and New Zealand! so you’re probably thinking it’s all George Formby? well… you’d be surprised Fragile Lucy plays a great mix of tunes dating back as far as a 1920s up to modern day from Jugband to hip hop with fun facts and great conversation in between, she is sure to keep you in good company for an hour!
So how did it come about? Felix Pastor the CEO of the radio station was at an open mic that I was hosting, and was looking for musicians to come and play live at the station, as part of a fundraising event. I mentioned to him later on that evening that I would love to host a radio show based around the ukulele. Later that week I went to the station to play a few songs and Felix said to me “when you want to start your show” and I just heard myself saying “next week” he showed me the ropes how to operate the sound desk and that was a start of the ukulele radio show!
