Long Service Legacy Section

For lots of reasons, members have to leave our service. This could be because of work, family commitments or changes. We are always sad when someone leaves, especially when they already have one of our five or 10-year awards. This section is to make sure that we have said thanks properly to these volunteers and remind them that they will be welcomed back at any time.

Scott O’Hare: Joined HBSA in November 2011 and left in 2020 having presented two shows per week during his time on the station. Scott was a regular at roadshows and fundraising events as well as being an on-air presenter. Scott’s fun broadcasting style made him a firm favourite at HBSA where he will always be welcomed as a guest.

The Beard: Joined HBSA February 2013. We would give his full name (he’s not in the FBI or anything), but really, his on-air name suits him just fine, so we’ll stick with it. The Beard’s Sunday morning show, “Breakfast With The Beard,” was unlike any other that we know on radio as he would play a complete album, or albums. These were uninterrupted save for an introduction before and a recap afterwards. This allowed the listener to enjoy the collection of songs just as the artist intended. The Beard remains an occasional contributor on HBSA.

Lucy Telford: Joined HBSA July 2014 and was a regular until 2023. Lucy’s shows had a great slick professional sound to them. From that you could tell she is really comfortable behind the mic, but then she is comfortable on stage singing,  dancing or performing too. Lucy covered every musical style making sure our “something for everyone” tag held true.

Ian Black: Joined HBSA in February 2018 and was a regular on the schedule until 2024 In every show, Ian featured an “Elvis Hour” in which he plays a wide variety of tracks from the King of Rock n’ Roll. He is welcome back to HBSA at any time.
