A RADIO station broadcasting across Glasgow has moved into its new home - a shopping centre.

Celtic Music Radio has begun entertaining listeners from within their new base in Braehead. 

The community station is run by volunteers and plays a range of genres from traditional and contemporary folk, roots, to Americana and world music.

It is hoped that the new set-up will enable more live performances and interviews.

Alex Jenkins, chair of the board of directors at Celtic Music Radio, said: “This terrific arrangement made possible by Braehead Centre gives Celtic Music Radio a new home where we can start a new era for the station, now in its 15th year.

Glasgow Times:

“We really appreciate having a new base as we push ahead to deliver great programmes every day, all day.

“We’re looking forward to strengthening our association with such a prestige centre that is popular with so many.

“Our technical team is working hard to get everything functioning properly so in due course, we will be able to invite up-and-coming and established acts to the studios to perform and be interviewed – a key part of what we do.

“We will continue to create a vital and vibrant musical community and offer listeners here and all over the world the best possible range of programmes.

“Our heartfelt thanks go to those at Braehead Shopping Centre who have made this possible.”

Braehead centre director Peter Beagley said: “Celtic Music Radio is an exemplar of how committed like-minded people working together can create an exciting and popular community enterprise.

“The programmes broadcast by the station are not only listened to by a wide audience in the Greater Glasgow area, but by many people living all round the world.

“Braehead is very much committed to our local community and we were pleased to be able to help the community station in their search for a new broadcasting studio base.”
