Cirencester, Gloucestershire
The clocks change tonight and we head in to the darkness of the Winter months. That makes staying indoors wrapped in a blanket, playing my favourite music on the radio, quite an attractive option!
My show took a short break during August and September while I was on holiday, and I was back on air in mid September: Refreshed for the Winter months ahead. Many of August’s planned themes then took place a few weeks late – but they made it on air.
I particularly enjoyed writing the different themes and jingles for my Back from Greece show which airred on 14th September. If you’re in to modern chart music, Decades Night in September looked at the Noteable Noughties – Sounds of the ’00s. My favourite October theme was As Heard On TV – an excuse to fit in a few vintage TV themes plus songs made big through use in TV shows and adverts.
