LEGENDARY Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards has again come to the rescue with a very generous donation to Angel Radio Isle of Wight to help keep the station on air.

This is the second time the musician has come to the station's aid.

Station owner and manager Chris Gutteridge said: "We can only assume he is a listener to our nostalgic music station.

"He is a very good friend of Angel Radio. How many radio stations can boast that they have been helped out by a Rolling Stone?

"It makes us wonder who is out there listening to us!"

Chris added: "On behalf of all our listeners and presenters, we would like to thank him for his kindness. Without the help of our generous listeners and benefactors like Keith we would not exist."

Programme controller Bev Webster said: "If Mr Richards ever visits the Isle of Wight we would love to interview him and thank him face to face."

Angel Radio Isle of Wight plays a wide range of nostalgic music from 1900 – 1969 which includes the Stones earlier recordings alongside records from Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby and Ella Fitzgerald and also the Beatles, so the Rolling Stones are in fine company.

Angel Radio broadcasts to the Isle of Wight on 91.50 FM and on line angelradioisleofwight.com.
