Casting my mind back to how it all began. My father was a great influence and supported me on the journey towards collecting and playing the whole spectrum of Soul. From my first Hi-Fi to a twin turntable setup he was always there.

Meeting Tony Johns in 1975, Tony was a true visionary when it came to organising and getting things done coupled with the chance he gave me to present shows on Radio Invicta, the UK’s first Soul Radio Station, this cemented the future on the road to playing and collecting the music we love.

With the closure of Invicta in 1984, after the station’s un-successful petition for a licence , I moved into Music Copyright where I continue to work today. It’s a great pleasure to be part of the RSR family!

Enjoy the shows.
