Radio ORLA enjoyed special recognition from one of its long-time listeners this week, when your favourite radio station publicly received a gift on the occasion of its recent third birthday.

Polish-born poet and painter Beata Korabiowska presented Radio ORLA with a painting depicting our beloved Polish "godlo" eagle over an island panorama, at a special evening organised by young Poles' group Poland Street at Jazz Cafe POSK in London on Wednesday.

The evening included music, poetry and the chance to acquire one of Beata's paintings. Beata as you may recall has previously featured in an edition of Radio ORLA show London Bridge.

Stepping on stage to receive the painting, called "Freedom of the Airwaves", on behalf of the broadcaster was its director George Matlock.

George said the gift was very special and accepted it on behalf "of the entire team who work so hard to bring you Anglo-Polish Radio ORLA fm daily."

George later said it was "very touching that a very talented listener was inspired to depict the radio station in such an artistic way. It shows that Radio ORLA's motto of 'Radio with class' attracts listeners with class too."
