JULIAN CLOVER & LUCY MILAZZO REVEL IN THE SUNSHINE AND LOOK BACK ON A YEAR AS PRESENTERS OF CAMBRIDGE 105 RADIO’S CAMBRIDGE BREAKFAST THE SOUND OF SUMMER RADIO GAGA
t’s summertime in Cambridge! The sun is out, in theory anyway, giving even breakfast presenters a few extra hours of daylight. Time for bike rides around the city and surrounding green areas that are all the more pleasant. This particularly applies to Mill Road, where the closure of the railway bridge has changed the dynamic of our favourite cosmopolitan street, though bringing with it many challenges for its wide array of shops. The greens are perfect for picnicking with friends and punting is made for summer. We have the fantastic open- air Cambridge Shakespeare Festival, where not only do we get incredible performances, but we also get to see the normally closed college gardens. And you might be reading this article as you await another act to appear on stage at the Cambridge Folk Festival (Cherry Hinton Hall, 1-4 August). Cambridge 105 Radio will be broadcasting live across the weekend and we’ll be there with a Sunday Brunch
programme from 10am to 1pm. Tune in or better still, come over and say hello! August now has a further special meaning, at least for us, because it marks one year since the launch of Cambridge Breakfast. It has gone so quickly – and what a year! We have got over our nerves, settled in and been extended by 30 minutes – we’re taking that as a positive sign! We’ve met so many people coming in to speak to us about issues that matter to the city and South Cambridgeshire. Our Friday Foodclub guests have given us insight into what we should expect to see next in the ever-changing Cambridge food scene. And we never let them go before asking them what will they’ll be cooking on the weekend – always a great source of inspiration. A recent addition is Sarah Colwell, our local theatre reviewer who comes in each week to talk to us about first night at the theatre and reminding us each week how lucky we are in Cambridge to have such talent available. One of our
newer features is the Mill Road Moment, with Councillor Dave Baigent, who has been popping in once a week while the bridge has been closed. We’ve got our listeners – the regulars, and some new ones – who get in touch with us to play along with our little competitions, tell us their thoughts (a Cambridge chelsea bun emoji anyone?), and make their Jukebox Friday requests, where we all party together over the breakfast table for the weekend ahead. So after one year of Cambridge Breakfast, we’d like to say a big thank you to all those who contribute to our show, who set their alarms early to come in and talk to us, to the team at Cambridge 105 Radio and most importantly of all, to our wonderful listeners who join us each morning, 7am to 9.30am, for a Cambridge spin on breakfast radio – thank you! First year done, here’s to many more! Julian Clover and Lucy Milazzo present Cambridge Breakfast, Cambridge 105 Radio, weekday mornings from 7am.
