All FM is a local Community Radio station serving south, central and east Manchester and based in the South Manchester suburb of Levenshulme. The station is run by paid staff and volunteers living in its coverage area.

ALL FM began in 2000 as a project of the charity Radio Regen, with a four day broadcast under the title Radio Longsight. After the success of Radio Longsight, ALL FM was created, with station manager Dave Lenaghan,[1][2] covering the Longsight area and the neighbouring areas of Ardwick and Levenshulme (hence the acronym ALL). As ALL FM, two RSL broadcasting licences were obtained, allowing ALL FM to transmit on a temporary basis.

In 2002, the station became part of the Government's 'Access Radio' pilot scheme.[2] ALL FM became an independent company and was granted a permanent broadcasting licence in 2005.[3]

Catering to an area described by the founders as "one of the most multicultural outside of London",[3] a wide variety of programming includes The Full Irish, Punky Business, Big T Caribbean Culture and Akram Hour. Multilingual programmes in French, Polish, Portuguese, Panjabi such as Ravi Apnabeat show and Hindi are also broadcast.

ALL FM's sister station WFM 97.2 broadcasts to the Wythenshawe area of Manchester, a few miles south of the ALL FM target area.

Y'all Come

by: George Jones

Y'all come, (y'all come), y'all come, (y'all come)
Oh, y'all come to see us when you can
Y'all come, (y'all come), y'all come, (y'all come)
Oh, y'all come to see us now and then.
When you live in the country everybody is your neighbor
On this one thing you can rely
They'll all come to see you and never, never leave you
Saying y'all come to see us by and by.
Y'all come, (y'all come), y'all come, (y'all come)
Oh, y'all come to see us when you can
Y'all come, (y'all come), y'all come, (y'all come)
Oh, y'all come to see us now and then.
The kinfolks 're coming, coming by the dozen
Eatin' everything from soup to hay, hay, hay
And right after dinner they ain't looking any thinner
And here's what you'll hear them say.
Y'all come, (y'all come), y'all come, (y'all come)
Oh, y'all come to see us when you can
Y'all come, (y'all come), y'all come, (y'all come)
Oh, y'all come to see us now and then.
--- Instrumental ---
Oh, old grandma's a wishing they'd come out to the
kitchen
And help her do the dishes right away
But they all start leavin', even though she's a
grievin'
You can still hear grandma say.
Y'all come, (y'all come), y'all come, (y'all come)
Oh, y'all come to see us when you can
Y'all come, (y'all come), y'all come, (y'all come)
Oh, y'all come to see us now and then.
Oh, y'all come to see us now and then...
