534f1889-8307-4c91-9e67-1e3fd6a81d26 OUR DJs < Back John Fife It was a love of folk music that first brought John to the VHR family, as he convincingly pitched the idea of a folk show. His wealth of knowledge of the folk genre was evident from day one, and his passion for music and his sense of humour shine through every Friday night. Since then, John’s versatility as a program host has led him to host a country music show on Sunday nights, and you can often hear him filling in for other hosts on a regular basis. When he’s not on the air, John can be found watching baseball, or picking guitar, playing fiddle and singing either online or at venues in the Valley. John and his wife Barb now call Renfrew home. Programs You Ain't Going Nowhere You Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere is the station’s folk music program, so if you’re a fan of folk, make sure to join John Fife every Friday evening from 6 to 8 p.m. John will spin popular folk songs, and he’ll dust off the album jackets to play some tunes you may not have heard for years – or ever heard for that matter. As John says every week: Folk ‘Til You Croak! Reserve Me a Table Tune in every Sunday from 2 to 4 p.m. to hear a great mix of country music with your host John Fife. John loves his country music, and it shows! He’ll play a wide selection of country songs from Ottawa Valley, Canadian, American and other international artists. You’ll get a little bit of everything, including an entertaining three hours every Sunday. Be sure to reserve your table. Previous Next

Production/Program Manager < Back Lesley Galbraith Production/Program Manager G’day! Here is a little bit about me. I was born in England. Leicester, to be exact. I grew up on the west coast of Canada. Then moved with my family to Ottawa, then to Florida, Vegas and finally back home to Canada, where I belong. I have a wonderful 23-year-old son, four cats and two dogs. I was born into a very theatrical family, and worked in live theatre in Daytona Beach, Florida for 10 years and with the cast and crew of hotel shows at the famous Flamingo Hilton, in Las Vegas. When I came back to Canada, I worked for a law office in Ottawa and moved up to the Valley. Best move I could have made. I was the very first “employee” hired at the station back in 2006. And what a ride it’s been. Right now as the Programming and Production manager, I am mainly behind the scenes. But I’m very happy to be the only female member of Hunt Camp Live – “it was my idea”. I wouldn’t change a thing about my job. I’ve loved every moment and look forward to the future and whatever it holds. Contact lesley@valleyheritageradio.ca Previous Next
