The Late Show with Colin starts on Radio Ulster on Saturday February 2 at 10pm and will see the music buff rifle through his extensive record collection to bring listeners an exciting mix of the songs and artists that have influenced him through the years as well as some brand new tracks which he wants to bring to a new audience. Colin said: "It’s a relaxed two hours of music for people of all ages. I am looking forward to doing my first programme for BBC Radio Ulster and I am glad that it’s late at night and full of music I love, stretching across four decades of sound… I am looking forward to doing my first programme for BBC Radio Ulster and I am glad that it’s late at night and full of music I love, stretching across four decades of sound. "Susan Lovell, head of Radio Ulster, said: "We’re thrilled that Colin Murray will be making a regular appearance on BBC Radio Ulster.

Wrestling warned over ‘imported’ athletes
Telegraph.co.uk – Jan 26, 2008
“Under International Olympic Committee regulations, there is nothing to stop an athlete competing for their adopted country, providing they have been given official residency and have not competed for their nation of birth for at least three years. The rest of the Ukrainian group is made up of two coaches, Anatole Sergei, a former world No?2, and Nicolai Kornyeyev, chief coach to the British national team. British Wrestling’s performance director, Shaun Morley, said he had recruited the best coaches and athletes available to improve the quality of home-grown talent and that it was not part of a plan to ‘buy in’ foreign talent. “Wrestling in world terms is still very much a developing sport,” he said. “In order for our athletes to progress, they need access to quality training partners and coaches. “East European nations are the strongest in the world. That’s why I looked to Ukraine.

It was then he fell for another co-star, US actor Michelle Williams, who played his wife in the cowboy love story.

Morrison ready for a title fight
Belfast Telegraph – Jan 26, 2008
The home-grown hero has been heavily involved in the team’s 13-match winning run which has thrust them from the bottom half of the table to second place and into a challenge for the league crown. Coach Ed Courtenay simply asks his third line to ensure that they don’t concede goals, but lately they have been doing much more than that. Morrison has been netting himself and last Saturday night against Manchester Phoenix he got into a fight with Luke Stauffacher which had the Odyssey crowd going made. While the Irish Indoor Athletics Championships take over the Giants home this weekend the team travels across the border to Dundalk to face the Edinburgh Capitals and Morrison while winning is the main priority, having his name on the game scoresheet is also on his mind. "Thirteen wins in a row is a great achievement for the team and everyone is pulling in the same direction," said Morrison.
