New singing sensation Ollie Garland continued his Radio Lollipop UK tour when he visited the Manchester Radio Lollipop team at the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital on Tuesday 7th August, 2012.

Ollie, pictured above with the Lollipop team, posed for photos, joined in with the ward visits and performed his new single ‘Dry Your Eyes’ for patients, patient families and hospital staff.

Dry Your Eyes’ is currently available to buy for 79 pence on iTunes, all proceeds going to Radio Lollipop.

Thanks Ollie, you’re a star!

Radio Lolipop recently spent the day at the Legal & General offices in Birmingam, to promote awareness of our fantastic charity, raise funds and to support the insurer’s Olympics celebration! A fantastic day was had by all, with funds raise by a samosa and cake sale and a raffle to staff to round off the day! Thank you to all at Legal & General to help us raise just under £1000! Jay Bailey-Stephenson (Legal & General Communications and CSR Consultant) agreed that the day had been a great success and said ‘we look forward to doing something again with Radio Lollipop in the near future’.

During his recent tour Radio Lollipop Newcastle had the pleasure of hosting Ollie G on 5th August. He visited the wards and was very popular with the young patients when he sang to them.

Ollie. tried our new studio out for size giving us our first pive performance before enteratining his local fans nearby. Thank you Ollie.

AVD has generously provided a SMS text service to Radio Lollipop Edinburgh.
It helps our listeners connect to the Radio Lollipop studio and make a request via our SMS Text service (Deletext).
Radio Lollipop provides live music, play and comfort to the Sick Kids Hospital in Edinburgh. The SMS service allows the children to make a request to the studio from their bed and also means parents can send a request from outside the hospital. All they have to do is text the word ‘studio’ followed by their request to the short code 80010. The request comes up on the radio email system.
Mark popped along the other day to see how the station operated….. we gave him an impromptu interview and insisted we took a photo!
He was wearing his awesome Hawaiian ‘Radio’ shirt which is covered in colour full Bakelite radio sets from the 40′s and 50′s. He said “It seemed appropriate at the time!”.
