"Cantors turn your house into a home".

Also, there used to be a Moor-The-Merrier week, an en masse piece of advertising for all the retailers on the Moor (when it actually had shops on it). The jingle went "The Moor-The-Merrier, the Moor, the Moor-The Merrier".

There was a thread on here some time ago which included links to some brilliant old ads of the 1970s and 80s.

Oh, and don't forget Barry Noble's Roxy, whose catchphrase was "Is that alright for yers?"

"Radio Ha-llaaam Wea-ther.. brought to you this hour in association with.."

I can still remember the jingle but i cannot remember who it was brought to you in association with..

so it probably wasnt a very wise ad investment..

Anybody remember these:

Morris Bywater the manufacturing jeweller
Only gold can make your dreams unfold (Bramall's Gold Room)
Heatshield Windows
Johhny Moran's your morning DJ on Hallam Radio (sung by Harry Chapin no less)

And that long one that started 'Whether you live in Sheffield or on the Yorkshire Moors', a whole song about Radio Hallam 'the top of your dial'. I think they played it when there wasn't enough time for a paoper recors before the news.

PA Jewellery, the old bank, Commonside Walkley. That one worked, I remember every line. Then again, I don't get out much.

what about Ray Stuart's introduction jingle, which started off with the music from the crazy world of Arthur Brown

"I am the god of Hellfire and I bring you


..Ray Stuart!"

Just remembered another really cheesy one. Went something like:

'People walking round town with their radios on, listening to the sound
Of Radio Hallam on194, keeps it going round
Hallamland'

Did I dream that one, or does anyone else remember it?

I only ever hear Radio Hallam in taxis these days, and sadly it sounds just like Galaxy and all the other identikit stations out there. Maybe I'm just getting old though.

Can anyone help me. I am after trying to get hold off (cassettes i presume) any local radio ad station jingles form the 1970's -1980's. I am particularly after a Co-Op jingle and a Fletchers jingle. Anyone.. Ta.

not got any old adds but there is a whole host of threads about radio hallam with links to some g8 jingles.
