It may surprise some (but not all I’m sure!) that I have never made a penny out of producing radio shows. It all goes back to the 70s when I spent a short while on Radio Victory – the first commercial radio station in the UK outside of London. I quickly realised that a job as a radio presenter wouldn’t offer the security and conditions than the job I already had working for the local authority. At that point I decided that from then on, radio was for fun, not income, and apart from the proceeds from a mobile disco which I ran with a local legend Derek White, that would be the case forever. My shows often feature guests, and interviews have included chats with Frank Allen of The Searchers – always a delight, Mike Rutherford (Genesis), Paul Carrack (Mike and The Mechanics, Squeeze), Justin Hayward, Alan Clark (Dire Straits), Tom McGuiness of Manfred Mann, Deborah Bonham, Simon Townsend, Stu Cook (Creedence) Dave Clark (Dave Clark Five) and just about every other 60s band still working!
