🎃 The Spooky Story of Halloween: From Ancient Celts to Modern Britain

As October 31st approaches, Red Kite Radio explores the fascinating journey of Halloween from its ancient Celtic roots to becoming one of Britain's most beloved celebrations. What started as the Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced "sow-in") over 2,000 years ago has transformed into the spook-tacular celebration we know and love today!

Congratulations to Our Dung Beatles Winner - Sue Carter!

What a fantastic night it was! Our competition winner Sue Carter and her friend Dinah had an absolutely brilliant evening at the Aylesbury Waterside Theatre last night, watching The Dung Beatles deliver an outstanding performance to a packed house.

The legendary tribute band treated the sold-out audience to complete live performances of both the iconic "Help!" and "Rubber Soul" albums, celebrating their 60th anniversaries in spectacular style. Sue and Dinah were thrilled with the show, describing it as "pure Beatles magic from start to finish!"

🎸 A huge thank you to everyone who entered our competition and congratulations once again to Sue for winning those coveted tickets through Howard Bond's Mid Morning Show. Keep listening to Red Kite Radio for more exciting competitions and giveaways coming soon!
