Fredβs Jukebox is a personal selection of songs that mean something to me. Each week I pick a track that takes me back to a particular time, place or moment – whether thatβs growing up, discovering new music, or just a song I’ve heard on the radio that I enjoy.
Itβs not about chart positions or big hits, but the songs that have stayed with me over time. Each one has its own story, and together they build a picture of the music thatβs shaped my journey.
I put a new entry in to Fred’s Jukebox on my Saturday morning programme, just after 10:30 each week.
- Tim McGraw – Just to See You Smile: The song which got me in to Country music properly – I played it extensively on the radio during my student radio says.
- Don McLean – American Pie: A song Iβve loved since childhood, one of the first I learnt to play on guitar, and a record that really shaped my love of music.
- The Scissor Sisters – Mary: From the time I was starting secondary school, when I was really beginning to find my own taste in music and fall in love with radio.
