COLIN HOLMES....STILL ISOLATING MORE.....


Unlike the BBC and other large broadcasting studios...Tudno FM  is a small studio
within a large complex ...........Ty Llewellyn...........and therefore has lots of footfall and does not
have any  regular cleaners  to deep clean surfaces etc and therefore  I am unable and so
are other DJs to enter studios in safe isolation...,,,,, but when times improve...WE WILL BE BACK.


 Colin Holmes.....Stay Safe.

COLIN HOLMES ON TUDNO FM 107.8. 17TH MARCH 2020.


DUE TO CORONAVIRUS AND MY AGE THERE WILL BE NO PROGRAMMING FOR MY SHOW UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.   I AM WELL AND ACTIVE AND 75 YEARS OLD SO
AM ISOLATING AT HOME.   WILL RETURN WHEN THINGS IMPROVE.
