Guess The Girl
Arguably the most successful on air feature in The Dale Bamber Show’s history, as well as Ribble Valley Radio’s history as well. Guess The Girl is based on British pop band Girls Aloud. Each week, The Dale Bamber Show would broadcast a performance from one member of Girls Aloud during their time on Popstars - The Rivals. All the listener has to do is to guess which member of Girls Aloud is singing. Nadine Coyle, Cheryl Cole, Sarah harding, Kimberley Walsh or Nicola Roberts. Towards the end of series 2 of The Dale Bamber Show it took over an hour and a half to collect the results from listeners who played along and contacted the studio.

Glee Megamix
In January 2010 Glee launhed in the UK. Glee is a group of teenagers who make friends through singing and dancing. Glee dominated The Dale Bamber Show for the first 3 months of 2010 and Glee is still going from stength to strength with various tracks entering the UK top 40 singles charts and their albums topping the UK album charts. Dale also started the infamous argument…’Does Dale look like Finn?’…(by the way…the answer was no!) When writing the script for this show, Dale couldnt pick a particular Glee track…so hes made a megamix…full of Glee songs that have charted in the UK singles charts!
