RADIO GAGA CAMBRIDGE BREAKFAST’S JULIAN CLOVER AND LUCY MILAZZO CHAT ABOUT THE CITY’S RESTAURANT WEEK AND THE CAMBRIDGE BAND COMPETITION W hisper it quietly, but could it be that spring has sprung in Cambridge? Suddenly there’s a lot of activity in town and it feels like Cambridge has awoken from its sleepy hibernation. The mornings have certainly become much brighter – particularly when you’re up to do a radio show at 7am. We’re very excited about Cambridge’s first Restaurant Week (1-7 April). A fantastic new idea where we can sit down at some of the city’s best eateries and enjoy set menus between £5 and £15. Already signed up are some favourites from our Friday Foodclub feature; Bills, Bridges, the Tamburlaine Hotel, Novi, Old Ticket Office and Vegan Vice to name just a few. Needless to say, we have our knives and forks at the ready! On Cambridge Breakfast, it’s been a busy month of guests each morning, with our new Parish Pump feature on Mondays, where we speak to community groups. Each Wednesday in On the Market, Lucy has a chat with a market stall holder: so far we’ve met Adam, the lovely Flower Man who told us how to keep those roses fresh for extra-long on Valentine’s Day, Jiang Bing who spoke about her delicious Chinese crepe – a beloved breakfast dish in China that makes for a very tasty lunch treat in Cambridge – and the wonderful Mandy on the Moon who will answer all your questions about life, love and everything in between every Monday on our wonderful market.
Later in the month, we’re covering the finals of the Cambridge Band Competition. The heats have been taking place throughout March at The Portland Arms and on Friday 26 April we’re broadcasting live from Cambridge Junction to discover the identity of the winners. The Cambridge Band Competition has been a feature of life in the city since 1985, its first year benefitting from coverage on the BBC’s The Old Grey Whistle Test , the essential music show of the 1970s and 1980s.
These days the band competition acts as an essential fundraiser for Strawberry Fair and is open to any artist or band who lives within a 40-mile radius of Cambridge. Already through to the final are Anglia Ruskin-based band Grassroof, the wonderfully quirky DodoBones and the jazz influenced Ffion Rebecca and her band. Cambridge Breakfast with Julian Clover and Lucy Milazzo, weekdays 7am, Cambridge 105 Radio.
