Don't say we didn't warn you...

Sadly Simon was back on the Hailsham airwaves in January, to release another 2 hours of horrors... Rene and Renato encourage you to move to the Sussex coast, Danny La Rue manages to make a very camp song even camper, and Mel Smith pays homage to Julie Andrews. We hear clubland classics based on the....

Monday January 20th, or "Blue Monday", is regarded by many as the most depressing day of the year.

On Hailsham FM, we have our very own version - Black Wednesday (15th January) - which is when Simon Herbert returns with the first edition of Simon Herbert's Interesting Tracks for 2025.

He is bound to have been scouring the darkest corners of the Hailsham FM record library to unearth some of the strangest and downright worst records he can find - which he then plans to inflict on any poor, unsuspecting listeners.

We recommend you avoid listening from 8 pm on Wednesday, via 95.9 FM, www.hailshamfm.com, or your smartspeaker. Don't say we didn't warn you...

Oh dear - the Christmas "Special" 2024 has escaped from the Hailsham FM airwaves ...

Featuring tracks by Sir Tony Robinson Freddie "Parrotface" Davies, Micky John Bull, The Lancashire Hotpots Mr Blobby Spitting Image East 17 Cabbage Patch Kids, Weebl's Stuff The Muppets kunt and the gang David DeBoy

I'm dreaming of a *hite Christmas!

Don't say we didn't warn you - Merry Christmas from Simon Herbert's Interesting Tracks!

Despite it being (supposedly) the season of goodwill to all, Simon returned to the Hailsham FM airwaves with his annual Christmas special, having spent a year dredging the Hailsham FM record library for the worst Christmas records ever. Beware - you will hear puppets, TV presenters, a knight of the....

It is a time for peace and goodwill to all - apart from anyone unfortunate to tune in tomorrow night (Weds 18th) at 8 pm, as they will hear this year's Christmas "Special" edition of Simon Herbert's Interesting Tracks on Hailsham FM

Be warned - Simon has had a whole year to dredge the corners of the Hailsham FM record library for the worst seasonal offerings from across the decades - and it seems he has found them...

We would hate to spoil anyone's Christmas, so need to warn all music lovers to avoid tuning in at 95.9FM, via www.hailshamfm.com, or their smartspeaker.

We understand that the show will be available for "listen again" after the broadcast, so you know what to play if you have any guests over the festive period who outstay their welcome. Every cloud...

We at Hailsham FM are dreaming of a white Christmas, apart from Simon who, it seems, is dreaming of a *hite Christmas.

11/12/2024

This is your one week reminder: if you value your sanity, and your ears, we recommend you avoid listening to Hailsham FM a week today (Weds 18th December) at 8.00 pm .

Don't say we didn't warn you...

04/12/2024

We strongly recommend that any music lovers find something to do, other than listen to Hailsham FM 2 weeks today (18th December) at 8 pm.

This is a public service announcement.

21/11/2024

Sadly, this month's edition of Simon Herbert's Interesting Tracks on Hailsham FM is available for "listen again".

https://www.mixcloud.com/HailshamFM/simon-herberts-interesting-tracks-20th-november-2024/

It features tracks by The Nolan Sisters Timmy Mallett Neil razor ruddock The Wurzels Basile Boli Peter Shilton OBE Splodgenessabounds The Kiffness Donald J. Trump John Otway

Don't say we didn't warn you...

PS: Christmas Special on 18th December!

Sadly, Simon was back on Hailsham FM this month with more of his "unique" taste in music. We hear from the next President of the USA, The Wurzels sing in German, and there is a "dance" record from a former ITN newsreader. Chris Waddle duets with a fellow footballer (and it's not Glenn Hoddle!). we h...

Oh dear - the diary note has just popped out (it's the one on red paper that says "Warning").

Regrettably, it's the third Wednesday of the month, which means the return of Simon Herbert's Interesting Tracks this evening at 8.00 pm.

We hear he has been busy rummaging through the darkest depths of the Hailsham FM record library, so brace yourself for 2 hours of terrible tunes and general silliness - or - better still - find something else to do!

Avoid listening at 95.9 FM, via www.hailshamfm.com or your smartspeaker.

Don't say we didn't warn you....

Another edition has escaped from the Hailsham FM airwaves...

Featuring tracks by Holimarine AFC Bournemouth Ron F Balog The Wurzels A Tribe of Toffs Splodgenessabounds and songs on behalf of Kamala Harris and Donald J. Trump

Don't say we didn't warn you...

Regrettably, Simon Herbert's Interesting Tracks is continuing into it's second decade, and Simon unleashed another 2 hours of horrors for the October edition. Bournemouth FC cover a Bee Gees song, there is a bizarre cover of an AC/DC classic, and Jim Bowen earns his "bus fare home" with a Was (Not W...

16/10/2024

We were all hoping that, after that 10th Anniversary "Special" last month, Simon would retire from Hailsham FM . We'd got a gold watch in and everything.

Regrettably, he seems to want to carry on into the show's second decade, and so we have to warn you not to tune in this evening (Wednesday 16th) from 8 pm, as he presents this month's edition of Simon Herbert's Interesting Tracks.

Expect 2 hours of audio atrocities, as he continues to scrape the barrel of his truly terrible record collection.

Music lovers: avoid listening at 95.9 FM, via www.hailshamfm.com, or your smartspeaker.

Don't say we didn't warn you...

10 years on, who is still unleashing these horrors on Hailsham FM ?

Featuring tracks by Trev & Simon's Page Ted Chippington Donovan Bristol Rovers Whitstable Town Football Club Bee Gees Julian Clary The Troggs Band The Kiffness Donald J. Trump John Otway Viz Comic Na**lm Death SOUTH WOODHAM FERRERS and with thanks to The Lake District, Cumbria

Don't say we didn't warn you...

Simon (and no one else) celebrated the 10th anniversary of the first ever edition of Simon Herbert's Interesting Tracks - somehow still polluting the airwaves a decade later. We hear "classic" tracks from the first ever show - which haven't aged well. There is also an interview with the legend that....

18/09/2024

10 years ago, for reasons no one can quite remember, Simon Herbert was allowed to present the first ever edition of Simon Herbert's Interesting Tracks on Hailsham FM (known as Hailsham Festival FM at the time).

Despite public demand, the show continues to be broadcast, and tonight (Wednesday), from 8 pm, Simon will be celebrating this anniversary (frankly no one else will) with a special anniversary show.

He will look back to some of the songs played on that debut show (they haven't improved with age), along with some other horrors.

There will be a chat with a genuine pop star - with a career spanning 25 years.

We will even hear from some singing sheep, thanks to The Lake District, Cumbria

We strongly recommend you find something else to do, and don't tune in at 95.9 FM, via www.hailshamfm.com or your smartspeaker. It will only encourage him.

14/09/2024

On this day, exactly 10 years ago at 7 pm, something terrible happened on Hailsham FM (or Hailsham Festival FM as it was then known) for the first time.

Somehow 10 years later it is still happening on a monthly basis.

We can only apologise.

08/09/2024

Happy 10th birthday Simon Herbert's Interesting Tracks...

Yes, somehow, Simon has been allowed to get away with polluting the Hailsham FM airwaves with his musical detritus for a decade!

We need to warn you that he is planning a special show to "celebrate" this horrendous anniversary on Weds September 18th at 8 pm - we strongly recommend you find something else to do.

As well as all the usual audio horrors, and a look back to songs played on that horrific first show, we will hear from some "Baarmy Sheep" - thanks to a track supplied by The Lake District, Cumbria

Please tell me he isn't planning a 24 hour broadcast like Wayne Spicer Radio Show - surely Ofcom wouldn't allow that?

Make sure you avoid listening at 95.9 FM, via www.hailshamfm.com, or your smartspeaker.

01/09/2024

Happy birthday! Simon Herbert's Interesting Tracks is 10 years old this month!

How on earth has he been allowed to pollute the airwaves on Hailsham FM for so long?

This month's show (Weds September 18th at 8 pm) will be a celebration of 10 years of Simon Herbert's Interesting Tracks (as if anyone would want to celebrate this horrendous milestone...) featuring tracks played on the first ever show (they haven't improved with age). There will also be a chat with a genuine pop star - with a chart career spanning 25 years.

Don't say we didn't give you plenty of advance warning...

Oh dear - another edition has escaped from the Hailsham FM airwaves...

https://www.mixcloud.com/HailshamFM/simon-herberts-interesting-tracks-21st-august-2024/

It features tracks by Captain Sensible Real Basil Brush The Wiggles Leo Sayer Miriam Stockley Mr. T of The A-Team "Weird Al" Yankovic Everly Pregnant Brothers The Lancashire Hotpots RussellGrant.com Big Daddy The Band Of 59 Paul Carrack Icejjfish William Shatner Peter Frampton

Don't say we didn't warn you...

Sadly Simon returned to spoil summer with another 2 hours of "interesting" tracks... We hear from Mr T, Leo Sayer (!) and Paul Carrack (!!) plus Russell Grant. The Smurfs serenade us - in Dutch - and you will hear a Guns 'n' Roses classic as you will never have heard it before. There's even a track....

21/08/2024

We regret to inform Hailsham FM listeners that today is the 3rd Wednesday of the month. Therefore, we need to advise you to switch your radios off between 8 and 10 pm this evening, as Simon will be back with this month's edition of Simon Herbert's Interesting Tracks

Are you sure it's not that nice Giles chap with "Sunglasses After Dark"? No? Elise with hip hop and R'n'B? No? Oh flip.

He is bound to dredge up some horrors from the basement. I mean, did you hear some of the stuff he played last month? Actually, I rather hope you didn't.

Make sure you avoid listening via 95.9 FM, www.hailshamfm.com, or your smartspeaker. Don't say we didn't warn you.
