Jonny for Phil - DAY 4
Day Four of Jonny covering for Phil was an action packed 4 hours of radio. Today we were joined by Jen from DriveTime who presented the weather, Community notice board, traffic and travel news.Emi Green and her band (Rich and Dave – we sadly didn’t have space for the others) played a brilliant set after the 11 o’clock news comprising of a cover of ‘Eva Cassidy’s – Songbird’ and two of Emi’s own songs ‘Missing and Infinity’ To find out more about Emi her music and gigs, checkout her website http://www.emigreenmusic.com/ The three of them chatted with Jonny about their musical influences and rated our musical icons of
the week, ion the whole there was a lot of agreement. Finally before Emi left Jonny tackled Rich over his instrument!!!!!!! Rich was playing a Peruvian drum called a ‘Cajon’, which he had pimped up by adding a foot cymbal. Check it out. He's never lost for a seat!The answer to the West Herts Question was ‘A Green Flag.’ This was presented to Harpenden in 2007 for their beautiful green landscape. The Who Am I? clue was ‘I’m a fame haired actor who fights with Harry in a quest against evil.’ The answer is Hertforshire’s very own Rupert Grint.
Our regular theatre guru Adam Towndrow was also with us to talk us through the Edinburgh Festival and recommend some of the acts from West Herts that will be appearing there this year.Tomorrow Jonny will be back for his final day in for Phil and DIY Rob will be in attendance with BIG BIG news. Our musical guest after 11am is Tobie Love, so make sure you tune into Radio Verulam 92.6FM or online from 8am tomorrow morning.

Jonny for Phil - Verulam in the Morning
On Wednesday 3rd August ‘Waylayers’ joined Jonny Seabrook in the Radio Verulam studio to perform 3 of their songs. After 30 minutes of setting up, tuning up and winding Danny Smith up. ‘Waylayers’ are Harry, Joe and Dave and finally they were ready to go. They played their current single ‘Hear No Lies’; ‘Less No More’ and ‘Weightless’. They also chatted with Jonny about their musical influences and contributed to the musical ICON debate. All the boys went with the Beatles of the Stones and Gary over Robbie, but Harry was more of a Kylie man while Dave and Joe settled with Madonna. To find out more about ‘Waylayers’ check out their facebook page: facebook/waylayers
Wednesday is market day in St Albans and as the market was being set up Jonny reviewed the newspaper headlines and discussed St Albans City FC’s friendly match v Peterborough United. 
Unfortunately City lost 4-1, but there were encouraging signs for the new season which starts on Saturday.
David Pearson played us some clips from the consecration service of the new Abbey bells which included some wise words from the Dean the Very Reverend Jeffery John.
The Who Am I guessing game was won by John from Marshallswick and the answer was John Motson, the sheep skin coast gave it away.
The West Herts Question was asking which monarch grew up at Hatfield House. The answer is Elizabeth I.
Tomorrow on the show Jonny will be joined by our theatre correspondent Adam Towndrow and there will be music from actress and musical Emily Green and her band. So make sure you tune into Radio Verulam on 92.6FM or online from 8am.

Jonny on Verulam in the Morning
Jonny for Phil Day 2 Tuesday 2nd August 2011Today on the show we were honoured and privileged to have DriveTime God Danny Smith as our ‘Travel Girl’. Who was very relaxed in this new challenge.
David Pearson continued his reports on the new bells in St Albans Abbey, which contained clips from the consecration service.
There were two contests.
The first being a ‘West Herts Question;’ which was ‘How many car parking spaces are their in the Maltings carpark? The answer being 750!!!!!!!!!! Amazing that it’s always rammed on market day.
The second contest was the ‘Who Am I?’ guessing game. The clue was about a famous resident of West Herts and went like this….. ‘I rose to fame in the 70’s music scene and am now over the Moon to be in the eastend.’ Any ideas????????????????????
The answer is, of course, Oldies pop star David Essex, who is currently starring in EastEnders as the father of the Moon family.
After 11 o’clock we were joined by singer / songwriter Shia Mitchell. She performed two of her own songs ‘Lost and Rachel's Lullaby as well as a cover of Gnarls Barclays Crazy.’ Shia had a chat with Jonny about how she got into music and she also rated our musical icons.
We will post a video tomorrow of her performing live in the Radio Verulam Studios, it’s definitely worth checking out.
Don’t forget Jonny will be back tomorrow at 8am live on 92.6FM and online. Tomorrow we have the band The Waylayers live in the studio after 11. Have a good day and come on St Albans City in their friendly footy match this evening against Championship side Peterborough.
