James Purefoy Advert on Heart Radio

[foreversienna]

I heard about this via the Yahoo User Group that I belong to. James recorded an ad for Action Aid specifically for Heart Radio. I heard it online twice so far this week, and it was fantastic!!!

In the advert he talks about Sir Francis Drake, then goes into a story about a girl living in poverty in Africa and asks for help via Action Aid for this girl and others like her. Once he's done speaking, a woman comes on and says that many people in the West Country have made their mark - what about you?, and then tells listeners where to go on the Web for more info.

Here's the website for the station: www.heart.co.uk/bristol/

THE GOOD NEWS: The advert is fantastic!!! It's all James and it's all WOW!!!!

THE BAD NEWS: You have to wait for the advert to come on. If you're not familiar with Heart, they play "lite-FM" type stuff (Cheryl Cole, Bee Gees, Madonna, etc.). If this is not your cup of tea, listen anyway - the advert is WELL WORTH THE WAIT!!!!

tuned in yesterday and the music suits me,but then I´m usually not listening to music all the time like as a background when reading.so are there clues at what time will be the biggest chance to catch James.And if so is there a way to record the ad???

For me, the advert usually comes on at between 9:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. Chicago time (which is about 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. in Bristol, England). I heard it again this morning!!!!
