Andrew & Martin

Andrew: Alright people! I’m Andrew… ‘Mason’ to my mates! I’m Geordie born and bred, or at least until I Carlisle where my dad’s a Minister. I’m going to be working on the radio, if you want to find me, i’ll probably be the one one with the funny wig!

Martin: I come from Bradford (near Leeds) in West Yorkshire. I’m just going into my final year of A Levels, studying maths, biology and IT (and dropping business & economics from AS Levels). I’m good with technology, enjoy photography and one day hope to run my own business. My kind of TV programs are Doctor Who, Torchwood, The Apprentice and Derren Brown. My music library includes Linkin Park, One Republic, Scouting for Girls and Foo Fighters.

Simon & Bx

Simon: Hi I’m Si, 18 from Lincoln, and am in that period of limbo between school and University. I have a strange love of politics, history and the English language, and a knack for remembering facts that are not at all relevent to anything.

Bx: Hay guys, I’m Bx, and I’m from Norfolk, Really excited about Breakout - its my first year at this event not only that because of Breakout I had my first experince on a train and learnt how to play pool. Watch out and listen around it’s hard to miss me I’m usually extremely hyper and like to do the can-can.

Viva & Fi

Viva and Fi are something of a mystery, no-one really knows who they are or what they do.  To find out more about them, you’ll have to listen to Radio Breakout on 87.7FM 

Entertainments update

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

Greetings

Trust this finds you well and having had the sort of Christmas and New Year you had hoped for. For the first time in years we went away for Christmas rather than having family to stay with us, my 2 year old son has certainley worked out the best way to open presents even those that aren’t his!

Anyway to business, by now, you shuld have read that Yfriday have confirmed they will be headlining Breakout 2008. If you haven’t already done so, have a look at the article in the entertainments area of the website. Hopefully we will be recording an interview with them prior to the event which will be available to download and listen to. Yfriday’s website is www.yfriday.co.uk where you can preorder their latest DVD and find out more about the band.

Don’t forget to send your radio show demo to Church House. Doing this, could give you the opportunity to present your own radio show which will be broadcast to the site and the surrounding areas (Sheffield & Chesterfield) This is a fantastic oportunity for anybody wanting a career in media.
If you want to volunteer to be an engineer, rather than a presenter then send me a mail.
For more information about the radio station and how you can be invovled, please look at the radio station section of the website.

Best wishes.

Mark

Text Messaging

Wednesday, December 5th, 2007

Everyone uses mobile phones these days, to keep in touch with their friends, for work, and increasingly to donate to charity, vote in opinion polls and surf the net. And, of course, everyone wants to do things to make their mobile their own! Watch this space for news of how you can download wallpapers, videos and exclusive media straight to your phone for free :)

We’ve also just launched the Breakout 2008 text info service - just text BREAKOUT INFO START to 60300 (doesn’t matter if it’s all in caps or not), and we’ll keep you updated on new signings, programme information and the latest news. It’s free, and we promise not to send you more than one text a week! You can also text any questions you have about the event - just send the word BREAKOUT followed by your message to 60300.

At the event itself, we’ll no doubt have tons of mobile treats in store….but that would be telling…..any suggestions, of course, would be gratefully received - click the email link above :)
