So, it's been a while since I left Kerrang! Radio now. I'm settling into a completely different world at Heart, but am working with some great people and it's nice to feel wanted!!! I have been on Heart Birmingham and London (all over the country) and next week I'm going to be back in Hampshire doing their Drive Time show from 4 - 7pm. Should be fun!!
A couple of things I wanted to say then…..
I'm in the early stages of putting together a track listing for a compilation CD that I hope to release early next year. It will include a lot of bands who have played Emma Scott Presents gigs; and any suggestions for your favourite E.S.P bands are more than welcome.
As part of the CD release, I'll be putting on a massive Emma Scott Presents gig, so keep an eye on this site as well as my facebook profile and my Emma Scott My Space page.

I have loads of my old photo cards from Kerrang! that I am trying to sell to raise some money for Cancer Research UK. I didn't get to do a Race For Life this year, so this may clear my conscience slightly!
You can get it from my shop - www.emmascott.bigcartel.com
I also wanna give a plug to Gundogs new shop - selling thier new cd, posters, and other random stuff!

Right, i think that's it for now!!
Speak soon
Keep in touch

A quick update!
So it wasn't long before I was taken out of my "early retirement". 2 weeks I believe i managed in the end!
I'm currently covering the breakfast show on Heart 100.7FM in the West Midlands, with Dave Clarke from 6am and 10am. We have been trusted with the number one show in the area; which amuses us no end! Ed and Rachel are enjoying some much deserved time off, and having done a week on their show, I think i'll be needing some time off afterwards! (2 more weeks to go!)
I think I've been through every emotion over the last week or so, but today it felt good. Yes, it's a massive change to what I was used to on Kerrang!, but it's radio, and radio's the love of my life!
If you've not heard Heart for a while, then give it a go - you'll hear how I sound at 6 in the morning! Text us too, it's 8-21-22 - start your text with the word studio. Be great to hear from you!
Besides my work at Heart, the wedding renewals went really well, Indi was the vicar and was amazing. The school holidays are 6 of the longest weeks of any parent's life….and its the same in our house! THEY ARE DRIVING US MAD!!
Hope you are well. Keep in touch!

Saying Goodbye!
As I leave Kerrang! Radio tomorrow, I just wanted to say goodbye and thank you for listening and being part of this awesome ride!
Yes, I'm upset that I'm going, but I understand why it has to happen. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise. I guess I have been working far too hard with my radio shows, as well as the TV show, the writing that I do, the Emma Scott Presents gigs, the Club Night, the charity stuff, the DJ sets…and of course, all the admin!!
No, I don't have anything lined up yet; but my husband and I are renewing our wedding vows next week in Cornwall and we are also having a big party for my (soon to be) 9 year old daughter the week after. Can't wait
I have a lot of stuff to get sorted before people arrive at the house!
I have been truly touched by the emails, comments on Myspace and Facebook since it was announced that I was leaving Kerrang!. So much more than I could have imagined. I certainly seem to have filled 4 hours of your day in a special way!! My job is done!! I have loved my time at Kerrang! It's been hard work at times, but worth it.
I have been in radio for 21 years now, and never been out of work for long; so I'm sure I'll be ok! Otherwise, I'm gonna write a book!!
Thanks for your support, and I wish you all the health and happiness in the world. You can keep in touch with me via Facebook (facebook.com/wenchemma) and Myspace.com/emmascott
Look after yourself
As Ron Burgandy says. STAY CLASSY SAN DIEGO.
I love you

Emma is leaving Kerrang! and Q Radio.
Following the recent press speculation and rumours circulating at the moment, it is with a heavy heart Emma Scott Limited can confirm the departure of Emma Scott and producer Jase Burns from Kerrang! Radio.
Emma has issued the following statement;
“I’ve had an amazing time at Kerrang! and achieved so much more than I could ever have imagined. I would have liked to have stayed another year, but the radio station has had to make these cut-backs in order to survive. I’m going to enjoy some time off this summer with my family, and then plan my next move! It’s been an awesome ride and I’m so lucky to have been at Kerrang! Radio for the past 5 years.”
Emma's show will continue until July 11th 2009.
