3 Girlz join the Army backing Stag FM
29 July 1999
SENSATIONAL Hertfordshire-based pop group 3 Girlz have joined forces with the UK's Army Cadets and Stag FM to help the station to win the fight for the radio licence for Hertford and surrounding areas.
The talented trio announced today (July 29) that the band has been officially 'adopted' by the Army Cadet Forces and that the group would be backing Stag FM and its proposed anti-drugs campaign for schools in Hertfordshire.
Last month, the Essex FM 2 Smart 4 Drugs Schools Roadshow Tour scooped the UK Commercial Radio Social Action Initiative Award - the radio equivalent to an Oscar - at a radio industry ceremony in London.
Now Stag FM - owned by the same company as Essex FM - has pledged to bring the roadshow to county schools if the station wins the commercial radio licence for Hertford and Stevenage.
Kitted out in combat gear, 3 Girlz stole the show when they dropped in at Oasis FM in St. Albans today to meet visitors and civic leaders being shown around the station by Professor Eric Moonman, chairman of Stag FM, as an example of how a successful, professional radio station should be run.
Formerly known as Blush, 3 Girlz' first ever hit single was Feel my Vibe, a song penned for the trio by Ricky Wilde, son of '50s rock 'n' roll star and Stag FM director Marty Wilde.
Christine Chapman, manager of 3 Girlz, commented: "We greatly approve of the work that Oasis FM and Essex FM have been putting into combating drug-taking in schools with their 2 Smart 4 Drugs campaign.
"3 Girlz are anti-drugs and we would like to see Stag FM given the opportunity to bring this campaign to schools throughout Hertfordshire.
"We agree that this is a fantastic way to use the power of radio to do good work in the community, particularly on the subject of drugs and schoolchildren, which is at the top of everyone's agenda at the moment."
