Hey there..

Since inheriting my sister’s records when I was knee-high to a grasshopper in the ’70s, broadcasting music and communications was the life for me, and the more buttons, levers, switches, faders, and general gadgets involved the better, with my first “DJ kit” being a Bush Cassette Recorder and a Bontempi Organ.

Starting with a modest collection of MFP and K-Tel compilations and a few Beatles 45s mostly more battered than your average cod, I've never looked back.

The ’80s was my “Golden Age” of music. I showcase my perennial penchant for the ’70s and 80’s music and its modern contemporaries on Solid Gold Sounds, where I was just as happy with forgotten 45’s as their well-known air-play and chart counterparts, so expect an eclectic and original mix of both on the program.

The show has regular features and occasional themed specials, so if you love that wonderful era too (even if you weren’t there..) there’s a warm welcome for all to enjoy the classics and maybe even a few you missed!

Join me on Tuesday night at 10pm. Here on ASR (Allsounds Radio)
..for "Solid Gold Sounds"
