I know they could find a slot for Steve, it is if Steve wants it.

The thing is he`s a professional DJ and I cant see a professional doing shows on an un-professional station.
He wants paying and I cant blame him. Thats why he`s a professional, he aint doing it for love.

I maybe wrong but Ive always thought that you can only class your self as a true professional if your paid for your work.

As far as I am aware all of the presenters at Bigglesfm are volunteering their time.

Well if thats the case maybe he could do shows for BIG L.
Although I think it was only a volunteer service when they had no permanent licence. (RSL)

if you define professional only as profession (making your money job) then you're right - but if you interpret professional as having skills and feel one's calling then you are wrong

I will agree with you also Alec.

I think all the volunteers have a great gift of what they bring to the table at BIGl, Biggles or even Radio Caroline. Being a professional does mean doing something for financial gain, but volunteering I think is more special because you gain not financially but it is something you are doing out of the goodness of your heart and they must get pleasure out of it as well otherwise they would not be doing what they do. Sometimes that is much more beneficial then money. But I understand what you are saying as well Mike and I am sure that if BIGL could afford it, everyone of those guys would be drawing a paycheck. One day I know RD will make that happen.

I dont think we can group Biggles into the same threesome as Big l or Caroline though. Biggles has a licence and transmits on FM. Its a professional set up.
When I used to listen to Big l on AM it was trying to run its self as a real professional set up, its a shame the cash ran out and they all had to leave.
Quite alot never got paid at the end and I remember R,L Rose quitting on air. I also remember Steve Gs last day. I had to park up somewhere in East London and listen.
I got no work done that afternoon but it was worth it.

And I never got to experience that era of BIGL as I just found it in 2009. I was a member of a Hollies forum and one of the girls put a link to a show that Chloe did on the Hollies. I have been hooked ever since.
