What began as part of a professional role soon became something much more personal, as Jan reflects on the joy of building something meaningful for the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jan shares how community radio was seen as a powerful tool for improving mental wellbeing and strengthening social connections, bringing together people from all walks of life, many of whom would never otherwise have met. She recalls the unique atmosphere of those early broadcasts, and the incredible mix of voices that helped shape the station in its formative years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking back, Jan reflects on the moment the project began to grow beyond its original roots as volunteers took ownership and the station found its own direction, and what it meant to step back and watch something she helped create continue to flourish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Twenty years on, this is a story of community, connection, and the lasting impact of a project built by and for the people it serves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83c\udfb6 Music Played<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83c\uddea\ud83c\uddf8 <strong>\u00c1lvaro Soler<\/strong> &#8211; Muero<br><strong>Dua Lipa<\/strong> &#8211; Training Season<br><strong>Mimi Webb<\/strong> &#8211; Ends In Y<br><strong>Megan Moroney<\/strong> &#8211; Medicine<br><strong>Jake Owen<\/strong> &#8211; Made for You<br><strong>Harry Nilsson<\/strong> &#8211; Good Old Desk<br><strong>Glen Campbell<\/strong> &#8211; Sunflower<br><strong>Claire Richards<\/strong> &#8211; Shame On You<br><strong>Kylie Minogue<\/strong> &#8211; Padam Padam<br>\ud83c\udf1f <strong>The Animals<\/strong> &#8211; The House of the Rising Sun<br>\ud83c\udf1f <strong>Woody Guthrie<\/strong> &#8211; House Of The Rising Sun<br><strong>Caroline Jones<\/strong> &#8211; You&#8217;re It For Me, Honey<br><strong>Van Morrison<\/strong> &#8211; Ro Ro Rosey<br><strong>Michael Jackson<\/strong> &#8211; Rock with You<br><strong>Emeli Sand\u00e9<\/strong> &#8211; Heaven<br><strong>Candy Dulfer<\/strong> &#8211; Pick Up the Pieces<br>\ud83e\udd20 <strong>Kenny Chesney &amp; Uncle Kracker<\/strong> &#8211; When the Sun Goes Down<br>\ud83e\udd20 <strong>Zac Brown Band<\/strong> &#8211; Toes (Greatest Hits Version)<br><strong>Boris Gardiner<\/strong> &#8211; Make It Tonight<br><strong>Jessie Ware <\/strong>&#8211; Ride<br><strong>Norah Jones<\/strong> &#8211; Don&#8217;t Know Why<br><strong>George Benson<\/strong> &#8211; Breezin&#8217;<br>\ud834\udd1f\u20dd\ud83d\udc9e <strong>KT Tunstall<\/strong> &#8211; Under the Weather<br><strong>Greg Pratt <\/strong>&#8211; Country Raised Her<br><strong>Elton John <\/strong>&#8211; Rock and Roll Madonna<br><strong>Bob Marley<\/strong> &#8211; Buffalo Soldier<br><strong>Madonna <\/strong>&#8211; Cherish<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fred Hart wraps up February with a Saturday soundtrack featuring contemporary chart hits, European pop, blues-rooted rock and smooth soul-jazz groove. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fred-hart.uk\/radio\/28february2026\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":14390,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[151],"tags":[179,176,28,194,168],"class_list":["post-14388","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cirencester-radio","tag-adult-contemporary","tag-classic-rock","tag-country","tag-reggae","tag-soul"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.fred-hart.uk\/radio\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2026\/02\/28february2026.png","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fred-hart.uk\/radio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14388","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fred-hart.uk\/radio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fred-hart.uk\/radio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fred-hart.uk\/radio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fred-hart.uk\/radio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14388"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.fred-hart.uk\/radio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14388\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14651,"href":"https:\/\/www.fred-hart.uk\/radio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14388\/revisions\/14651"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fred-hart.uk\/radio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14390"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fred-hart.uk\/radio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14388"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fred-hart.uk\/radio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14388"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fred-hart.uk\/radio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14388"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
