DOWNLOAD SINGLE (iTunes):
Two versions of History Maker will be available for download and will count towards 'chart placing' (see artwork, right):

Original studio version
Live audio version (from the forthcoming Delirious? Farewell Show Live in London)
These two specially released versions will be available from www.apple.com/uk/iTunes only (see below for other download sites).



DONWLOAD SINGLE (other than iTunes):
If you want to use a different site such as those recommended below, you can still use download History Maker (but only the studio version is available), you can get this track off the 'History Makers Greatest Hits' album. This download WILL still count towards chart positions.

www.amazon.co.uk
www.7digital.co.uk
www. play.com
www.hmv.com
www.tescoentertainment.com/store/browse/mp3/

NUMBER OF DOWNLOADS:
You can buy up to 3 downloads and they will all count towards chart positions (any over and above this will not). I am going to suggest that for the sake of £1.58, we all try and download twice (if using iTunes it would obviously make sense to download the two different versions). The double download will not only increase our chances vastly for a number one chart position, but will raise more money for charity - see below.

CHARITY:
Delirious? will be donating all their profits from the UK downloads to charity projects supported by Martin Smith's 'CompassionArt' - Creating Freedom from Poverty (see www.compassionart.tv).

DOWNLOAD DATES:
The singles will only be available for download from Sunday 28th March. Purchase before midnight Saturday 3rd to count towards Easter Sunday chart.

PRICE:
79p each.

Thanks you all for your patience, while our engineers worked on the transmission problem.

102.4 Shine FM is now back on air and once again broadcasting to the Banbridge District. The fault was caused by an equipment malfunction.

Once again, sorry for any inconvenience suffered by our listeners.

Our local community radio station 102.4 Shine FM are to hold a competition for the best primary school choir in the Banbridge District.

"This will be a wonderful opportunity for children to compete against each other in a friendly manner, build their confidence and promote their school." said Dougie Barr, the Shine FM Chairman. "We believe this will help promote Shine FM as it will be a voice for the local community on air."

The Station are also looking for local sponsors and a venue for the event.So if you think that you would like to become a sponsor or could host the event please contact the station.

The exact dates for the event will be published shortly and the Grand Final's date/time will be set to suit the school terms and exams in 2010.

We are also hoping to have a Children’s Story programme competition. This consists of children writing their own story and the winner/runner up will get an opportunity to come into the studio and read their story out on air.

We have attached a set of rules and returned slip which we would like you to return by 18/9/09 to let us know if your school would be interested in taking part. An official entry form will be issued later.

A WARNING has been issued to parents, urging them to be on their guard against meningitis as their children return to school after the summer holidays.

Charity Meningitis UK says the close confines of a classroom put youngsters more at risk from the deadly brain bug.

There are also concerns that the swine flu pandemic may result in meningitis being missed because both illnesses begin with flu-like symptoms.

Children under five are most at-risk from the killer disease, followed by teenagers and students.
