In
an ambitious, week-long project, Val Armstrong and Paul Braithwaite
will present the mid-morning show live from the historical ship
Phoenix, as well as from five land-based locations along the Cumbrian
coast.

Phoenix
is one of three tall ships which promise to be a major attraction
in and around Whitehaven harbour this summer. Paul, Val and the
team will follow the progress of the ship's crew as they continue
their Able Seaman training programme.
The
broadcasts will explore the county's maritime heritage, featuring
a range of local characters, and music with a nautical theme. There'll
also be a chance for listeners to win tickets to sail on one of
the ships.

Mid-morning
presenter Paul Braithwaite says: "It's a dream come true. I've
always wanted to try being a 'pirate radio' disc jockey - and this
means we can broadcast from a ship without breaking the law!"
Val
Armstrong, who normally presents the afternoon show, says: "The
best part of this job is getting out of the studio and meeting our
listeners. The tall ships will attract thousands to the coast, and
I can't wait to be there with them!"
