Robin; really enjoyed this - thanks for posting! Tony

awesome enjoyed this! Johnny Beerling was spot on when he said "took them 10 years to take R1 presenters to R2"

(the Bruno Brookes dialogue:) "Right on! Good afternoon to you, it's 4 o clock live across the UK, this is 1FM and it can only mean one thing, The UK Top 40! Europe's most listened to radio chart show comes hot off the presses of Gallup headquarters..."

Now it's JAM's 45th anniversary in 2019. ^.^

Can You Help Me Find My Mom?

It is the most dangerous peacetime job a man can do. And for the wives, mothers and daughters who lose their loved ones to the sea, rather than to war, the burden is no less to bear.

In 2008, Jane Dolby's husband Colin went missing when his fishing trawler was caught in a freak storm. The boat was finally located and lifted from the bottom of the sea - but Colin was not found.

Aside from the emotional pain, there are practical complications. The law says that a death certificate cannot be issued without a body - which means no life insurance and no widowed parents' allowance, despite having four young children to bring up.

So in 2012, united by a common bond of understanding the dangers of fishing and a desire to raise money for The Fishermen's Mission who help so many fishing families in hardship, Jane formed the Fishwives' Choir with women from all over the UK who have lost husbands, fathers, brothers and sons to the sea.

Although the choir was only formed to create a one-off charity record, the women received so many performance requests that they decided to carry on in any way they could. Most had not sung since their school days, but we now join Jane, Laura, Leigh and Wendy as they record their debut album.

This is a tale of transforming tragedy and grief into music and hope.

Lead by Jane and over a bed of raucous laughter, The Fishwives' Tale is a heart-warming and at times hilarious tale of women overcoming grief through friendship and sea shanties - proving that, even in the darkest of times, there is still light.

With original music by Josh Winiberg

So here’s my tribute to the mighty mighty one, Mr Maurice White, who sadly passed away on February 4 of this year. He left us an incredible treasure trove of music that has shaped the way I live my life!

I avoided the really obvious hits that you can hear everywhere and went for my personal faves, and a solid dose of the music that went on to shape the unique sound of Earth Wind and Fire from his early years working with two great mentors to him, Ramsey Lewis and Charles Stepney.

I got so much pleasure recording this - I hope you enjoy as much as I did!

'Scuse Me Miss (Aroop Roy Edit)

This is probably the coolest bit of audio ever made. Some of my best friends at the BBC asked my broadcasting hero, Steve Wright to record a message for my wedding. He went all out with this fully jocked master piece...

Steve Wright jocks Rory & Lizi's serious weddin'!

A special episode, celebrating almost half a century of jingles at the BBC, with former Radio 1 controller Johnny Beerling taking a look back at the history of JAM jingles at the BBC.

Plus a look at the more recent offerings from Dallas with Radio 2 imaging producer Chris Reay.

40 Years Of JAM Jingles At The BBC (WRUTSL Special)

I produce bits that go in between the tunes on the radio, and for a bit of fun I sometimes like to play about with the tunes themselves.
