      That is SUPERB!
      It reminded me of the version for Solid Gold GEM AM in 2014

          It was just a matter of time before this one appeared….

            Memories of getting up at 6am to record this song off-air as it started the day… it’s Invicta Radio, from 1984, Alfasound. Still sounding good!

              Likewise, memories of recording this in the run up to the start of the day’s programmes. I wouldn’t have bothered if I’d known that many years later I’d own the master tape 😉

                oh and one more from the 70s, the song that the station launched with in 1975.

                  That’s great. Is Northern Air (re this jingle) a hospital radio station in Manchester/Salford? – I wonder if they had the whole package resung.

                    A slight diversion…

                      A lot of “station songs” in the earlier UK ILR days of 18-20 hour broadcast days rather than 24/7
                      would be particularly used at “sign-on” at 6am or whatever.

                      This is how they used to do it in Edinburgh…

                      Won’t hear “jingle lyrics” like those in these days of bland 3-syllable thump-thump-thump “imaging”.

                        Just found this resing of the Kingdom FM station song for Easy FM.

                          Well spotted Noah !

                          Too rarely do we hear resings by the Dallas etc companies’ representatives on the European Continent,
                          where lots of packages have been re-sung other than in English by in-country studios.

                          Conversely, over the years a LOT of very good custom material has been produced in France, Germany,
                          the Netherlands, etc but which only very rarely has appeared in English-speaking countries.
