1900 - 2000 Wednesday

You'll hear it here first. Livewire Live, with Tim Heywood, is about unadulterated original sounds that are right on your doorstep. Produced and presented by Tim Heywood, with phone-ins with some of the music promoters in town.

A big thanks goes out to Chaplins and the Cellar Bar in Boscombe, for agreeing to sponsor LiveWire Live on HopeFM. Chaplins and the Cellar Bar between them host some fantastic evenings of LiveMusic, more can be found from the Chaplins and the Cellar Bar website.

Coming up - February

Still confirming bookings for February - everyone seems to want March or April, not February!  Comedy from Radio Boscombe and our Solid Air outing are definitely on the bill.

Future Bookings

To book for a show space, email us or grab Tim at a gig (normally lurking in a shadow somewhere!). Apologies to all of you who want to come on over - we're very busy with artists as can be seen!

Bold indicates Solid Air evenings. Solid Air is a community based organisation helping to provide a platform for original singer/songwriters and bands to perform in front of an audience of like minded people. Connie regularly hosts LiveWire Live!, and sources his own artists.

In addition, monthly regular comedy outings are provided by Radio Boscombe. CDs are for sale on their web page, including a couple of special releases they have generously donated the proceeds of to HopeFM.

Tim's biog

Tim enjoys lots of styles and types of music, and can occasionally be found at many of the venues around Bournemouth particularly, although he has been known to travel further afield to support local artists.

He can only be found occasionally at gigs as he has a life outside of HopeFM, what with working in an Italian company in Christchurch, church activities and spending the rare bit of time at home with Ness, his wife.

When at home Tim enjoys the sedentary hobbies of reading and plinking about on a mandolin.

Tim doesn't list being photographed as one of his interests, although megapics by Fiona captured his photo whilst he was on air (and couldn't really do anything about it).
