"A bit like gardening, then." he said.

Children's Radio

Yesterday, Candleby Lane School in Cotgrave welcomed Capital FM radio presenters, Dino and Pete to their school to check out their very own recording studio!

The radio club are part of Children's University and couldn't wait to show Dino, Pete and their producer, Brains, their radio presenting skills.

The visit began with a Q&A with Dino, Pete and Brains where the children were able to ask all their questions about what it's like to be a radio presenter!
