Me on Lancashire’s Red Rose Radio the Superpower 97.4 FM in 1989. A great radio station.

Good to hear Paul Harper singing on Haworth high street yesterday with his tribute to 1930s crooner Al Bowlly. #nostalgia #1930s #vintage

Sad to hear that Diane Keaton has died…. Annie Hall and The Godfather, two of my favourite films.
Diane Keaton, the Oscar-winning actress known for a prolific career in uplifting comedies, a quirky sense of fashion, and a penchant for drinking red wine with ice cubes, has died at the age of 79. More on her life and legacy: https://t.co/DmHDc6Loa6

Correction: Red Rose Radio was launched 43 years ago. Now I don’t feel quite so old.

So it’s 44 years since I started my professional radio career at Lancashire’s Red Rose Radio. An exciting time to be in radio with so many opportunities. https://t.co/Y4ow4swYBK

Good to see the late Bolton comic Bob Williamson on @TalkingPicsTV on a 1977 episode of At The Wheeltappers. This single, with the risqué song he performed on the show, has been a favourite of mine since the 70s.

Happy 100th birthday to Pete Murray who presents the top 5 @BoomRadioUK today. I had the honour of working with Pete in recent times. No need for scripts, he would just make a few notes and present in that engaging and conversational style he was famous for. A real inspiration!

A real honour covering David Hamilton’s Music Show @BoomRadioUK this week. Lovely story from a listener who remembers stopping his Vespa scooter at traffic lights in London next to an open topped car with a pop legend onboard who was happy to chat until the lights changed.

This is like me in my home studio making radio programmes..
Oh it's a marvellous invention this is. I don't know what I'd do without this, I'd go crackers. Best 500 quids worth I ever spent. Opened up completely new horizons for me. Friends all over the world. None in this country but all over the world! #TheRadioHam

Great start to #glasto2025 with Friday night headliners The 1975. I’ll nip off early before the encore to find the toilet block, then I’ll try to remember where we pitched the tent. Goodnight.

A real joy to meet & greet so many @BoomRadioUK listeners over the weekend @Whitbypavilion. They have shared a lovely bond since meeting each other in Whitby. The Big 60s Weekender has hit record numbers across the three days.
