Leysdown Carnival 2017

BRFM was broadcasting live from the Leysdown Carnival this year and spoke to many of the charity organisations and businesses from across the Island. Presenters Cliff James, Doug Paterson & Hannah Wing were broadcasting live from the BRFM Roadshow which was based on the Spinney in Leysdown on Saturday (29th July). Throughout the day the team went out & about around Leysdown chatting to organisations that were also at the Carnival celebrations and many guests also joined us at the Roadshow trailer. BRFM provided music and entertainment throughout the day along with Live commentary of the Carnival procession.

Find below a selection of the interviews from people we spoke to throughout the day:
