I'm a Scared Student ... Get Me Out of Here ... 'Cause It's Haunted!

A previously anticipated reality TV show recording, fund-raising event for LOROS, which took place on Friday 13th to Saturday 14th August, 2004 (7.30pm-7.30am), at the Harborough Theatre, Market Harborough, Leics. Nevertheless, a 46 minute film from that recording is planned to be shown , when circumstances permit-watch this space!

'24 Hour Radio-Thon'

A memorable highlight of Ayaz's fund-raising events was the '24 Hour Radio-Thon' broadcast, on the University of Bradford's Campus Radio Ramair, between 7pm-Sunday 28th May to 7pm-Bank Holiday Monday 29th May, 1995. A pre-recorded interview with former England Test Cricketer-Darren Gough was a major highlight of the show as well a message of support for the Bradford Burns Unit from him, alongside fellow Yorkshire County Cricket Club players.

In addition, "Simon Shiekh" resigned, "live on air", 5 hours and 17 minutes into the show-being 12.17am, stunning presenters and supporters-tributes poured in from then on, and it became very exciting as everyone was on edge to see if he was going to complete the full 24-hour broadcast-and yes!-he made it all the way through-the last hour, being his final ever broadcast on the station.

Here are some pics from that actual event, also showing fellow students/radio station presenters as contributors:

He returned, exclusively, for the radio studio's 25th anniversary on Tuesday 6th May, 2008, to present a one-off show, after almost 13 years!
