In 2007, after a decade of inactivity (see 'Previous Life' ), RADIO BOSCOMBE re-grouped (line-up 10 for those of you out there counting!)

For lo, it came to pass e-mails concerning royalties bantered and flashed back and forth in the darkness, and JONATHAN THE JESTER (aka Jonathan Russell) suggested how much he missed working with the others. GARY MITCHELL suggested in that case they try it again, ANNE LYDON said, 'yeah, why not'. MORGAN McGINNIS has kinda declined - though she might be in again for the odd recording session in between scribing her latest radio play. Unfortunately, due to personal commitments, ANNE had to drop out of the reunion, and has now retired.

Undaunted, GARY and JON forged ahead - writing and recording new material for the 'Weekend Breakfast Show' (see 'Hope FM' and 'General Comedy Page' ). They've also appeared on 'Hope's' Wednesday night arts show 'Livewire Live' and on 'Forest FM's' drivetime 'Laura Jerome Show' - and in 2008 released the critically acclaimed and post-code best-selling CD, 'Can't Get A Girl !'

After that they 'got a girl' (ha ha!) by recruiting JON'S 'apprentice' PIXIE JESTER (aka Pauline Gillespie) to complete line-up 11 - and continue recording for more broadcasts and a new album. GARY, meanwhile, had been working with young writer and performer GEORGE ATTWILL a lot over the last year - and because he's cheap it made sense to recruit him too - so now we're back to the classic 'three-boys-and-a-girl' line-up so beloved by Seventies casting directors (12 for those of you out there counting).

As a quartet we've recorded a new CD 'How Can You hate Them ??' (2008) . This 17th and latest set featues seventy minutes of all new material - including live takes from our radio broadcasts. Our plan now is to move forward and work on improving the quality of our writing and performances to up our game - also to GO LIVE in 2009! Watch this space for details!!!!

As a consequence of all this Radio Boscombe are regularly broadcast by DJ Paul Edwards on 'Punkyradio', at 'Punkyradio Podcasts', and on Jon's own show on 'Forest FM'. Pixie's set up a 'Radio Boscombe Facebook Page' - and we already have friends - so add yourself along. George has set up a 'Radio Boscombe Bebo Page' where you can see vids and listen to samples of our work.
