About Us

Hi, I'm Michael Heseltine, Chairman of URF. I am a first year, studying American Studies and Politics. I have a radio show on Wednesday's at 10pm, which a few people accidentally end up listening to. Musically, I'm a fan of most things rock based, the more pretentious the better - Brand New, Mars Volta, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Circa Survive, The Dear Hunter...

As Chair, I head weekly meetings with the exec; represent URF in meetings with the university and union, along with the Station Manager; and I am also the first port of call for abuse and URF related recommendations.

Favourite Song: Jimmy Eat World - 23

Favourite place in Brighton - Anywhere the lemon bus shines... or The Font for a slightly more heterosexual answer.

I'm Elisabeth and I'm the station manager for URF. I'm legally responsible for the station - how exciting. I'm in charge of the day to day running of URF; the finances, the schedule and training the newbies on the desk. Nothing particularly glamourous, but all very important. I am a second year Contemporary History student, which is not a contradiction in itself, regardless of what people might say.

I am a true child of the nineties, with a penchant for Britpop, and host a Britpop hour, 'Fresh Mondays', from 8-9pm, where I play Pulp's 'Disco 2000' at every oppourtunity. My favourite place in Brighton would have to be the Pavillion gardens in the summer. With a picnic, made by someone else.

Hello. I'm Genie and I'm your new Secretary. I am a 2nd year student studying Media and loving it. I've been a member of URF for nearly 2 yeras now and enjoy the many things we have on offer to get involved with. My role is to act as the communicator between our lovely members and the people in charge; so if you have any problems; questions or queries step this way and I will do my best to solve them.

I love living in Brighton and enjoy the many things it has availible. I'd have to admit I'm a big fan of the Pav Tav although quite a dive but I've always had good times there. I have a very eclectic taste in music so it is hard to narrow it down to a certain genre, but I'd have to say one of my favourite songs at the moments is Fireflies by Owl City despite its excessive playing on the radio.

I'm Kit and I'm Head of News. I'm responsible for producing the URF News summaries that play out at the top of each hour. I also oversee the station's news and current affairs programming; including Frontpage, Soundcheck and Spotlight. I'm in my first year doing BA Politics. I co-present 'Sunday Night Live with Kit & Carl' Sundays at 7pm.

I love a lot of different types of music; if you scroll through my iPod none of it seems to go together! I really am not sure about my favourite song, probably some old cheese... Everlasting Love by the Love Affair perhaps? I really live The Robin Hood pub in Brighton and Coalition on a Thursday is always fun!

Hallo. I’m Kate and I’m the Head of Music at URF. This basically means I get to spend a lot of time with the new music the station is sent, handing it out to the children of URF and getting their reviews sent to people who care. I also coordinate the URF chart which I co-host once a week. I’m a second year Media Studies student and I like to think I have fairly open and extensive tastes both musically and otherwise, but my default favourite song is always This Modern Love by Bloc Party and my default favourite Brighton pub is always the Fishbowl. If you have ever liked or disliked a song and would like to get involved, then URF's music team wants you

I am Jess, the shiny new Head of Tech. I'm halfway through a Bsc in Psychology, which is invaluable when trying to stop the studio from falling apart. My show is on Thursdays at six (don't miss it), and I play new, an old, and remixes. Whatver I feel like listening to.

In Brighton you will find me in Kensington's in the North Laines hiding out from a rug of a brutal hangover, or on the beach. My favourite song recently, would either be 'You've Got the Love' - the mix by The XX - 'Blinded By The Light' by Nero.
