Hi all.
I’m after the mid-80’s package from the now defunct ILR station for Exeter and Torbay, DevonAir Radio. This package, i believe, was done in-house after the station’s first and second packages, which were done by Alfasound. They featured “The beat goes on” and “At the heat of it all” jingles. I have some off-air recordings from the time, but would love some original cuts, but they are so difficult to get hold of – no-one seems to know who produced them in-house, or if any production company was involved.
Anyone’s help would be appreciated…..

I have got a feeling I’ve got these on tape somewhere. Are these the ones that have the expression ‘At the Heart of Devon’?

[UKDJChris]

Yes, Bello, they were the mid 80’s ones, which also included “The beat goes on” jingles. There were later jingles, again I think in-house, produced towards the late 80’s/early 90’s too…..

If you have them Bello you would make quite a few people very happy – I have been looking for them for years and only have a few on cassette/off air. So reminds me of my youth … if you find them 😆 😆

They also had re-sings of the cuts for South West 103.

Hello

I have the majority of the Devon-Air package from the mid-eighties on tape. I will go and have a look, if I have them – then I will transfer them over to CD and either upload them onto this site or folks can e-mail me and I will send out a copy.

..or the tape might have gone walkies.

I will post back with more news at the weekend!

Cheers

[UKDJChris]

Thanks, Bello. Much appreciated. Yes, RJO, they did have re-sings for South West 103.

[Spoons]

Now, I remember a package for Devonair and SW 103 which sang ‘Devonair Radio – Your Number One’ and ‘South West 103 – The Latest Sound’

Must have been 1989 time?

Anyone remember those?

[Prometheus]

I have the full songs from the ‘At the Heart of Devon’ package… but, like Nicky, I’ve been looking for the package for years. I can get you a copy of the cuts I have but if you find more – I’d love to get my hands on them. It crosses my mind that David Cousins would have a copy – track him down, I suspect he would have been involved in the production.

Hiya folks

I have been searching round for a while, but I can’t find the tape at the moment. I will continue my search and hopefully willbe more successful.

Sorry

[UKDJChris]

Bello, thanks for taking the time to search for the package. Much appreciated.

[UKDJChris]

Good stuff, Martyn. I hadn’t heard those before. Sadly, I didn’t hear much of DevonAir in it’s last few years.
Have you got anymore stuff?

[UKDJChris]

I see you have just posted another link to a file for download…..

[UKDJChris]

I have that news jingle somewhere. It is the one used in the late 1980’s.

[Martyn-M]

You cant beat the early days, in my opinion!

What was that last posted news in all about anyway?

Heres one I’ve just found……now this is more like it!

[UKDJChris]

Excellent stuff, Martyn ! Bring on more !
I have off-air recordings of various DevonAir stuff from mainly the late 80’s to early 90’s.
DevonAir – a radio station sadly missed.

[Martyn-M]

Well whilst going through this lot and sorting out a compilation list so I can find things easier in future, I found this….

http://www.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=F555A01B25F6399B54781A57A2617E97

Its the overnight frequency I.D. used outside of broadcasting hours, about every ten minutes or so.

Heres another run up to the news too….when I find anything else of interest, I’ll let you know!

That’s a great cut Michael, there is a longer version of that cut with a talk-up bed at the start…..

[mbMember]

I’ve not got it all yet – Only heard most down the phone – I dont think its complete but I’m not sure I have the longer version with the talk up bed but there is a longer version with different lyrics

The heart keeps burning, The house is jumpin’

But the best every lyric for an ILR has to be we’ll be your signpost on temptations way – what on Gawds earth was going on down there in Devon to need a signpost on Temptations way!!!!?????
