Dave Goodman Sunday May 24th

My old chum Dave was good value on this occasion when
he reported on his passion Eurovision, live from his home
in Amsterdam.
He has loved the song contest for many years, so that made
it even more fun when we both went to Athens to cover the
event for BBC only a few years ago. The Greeks made us more
than welcome and made our reporting debut a real pleasure.
This time Dave told of his recent visit to Moscow & gave the
flavour of it all.. the scenes..the scenes...& ..even more scenes.
New country, new voting system & new commentator too
namely Graham Norton, who was reported as a resounding
success! No vodka for Dave, so he said. Take that as you will
...with or without ice!

Tony Michaelides Sun May 10th 09

We were in Florida, in spirit & on the phone on
Sunday to chat to the music biz raconteur on the
brink of publication of his first book "Insights from
the engine room"
Tony always talks with great passion about his time
with Bono & U2, Sting & countless other world class
artistes in the days when they were famous as opposed
to their present stratospheric position.
Interestingly, the common thread connecting all of these
personalities seems to be an unshakable respect for those
around them.
David Bowie, for whom Tony handled much of the promo
work for the 98 tour, was described as a charming man
who always had time for those around him........ those
who were constantly contributing to his success.
....Charming, clever, sensible and very bright too.

Roger "Twiggy" Day Sun May 10th 09

Four decades on air for Roger & he still remains
intoxicated by the business of broadcasting.
Lovely stories of Margate in the 1800 s when
the young Roger worked at his parents' workhouse
....... sorry B&B.
The three hour visit from Graham Nash to his live studio,
exclusive performances of brand new songs there
& then, just when radio one could not get a word from him...
well as we all know, GN never does interviews!
Romance, rock n roll & radio piracy on the high seas,
treasured memories of the Beach Boys super fan who
lived the dream & compered the tour....yes he did..
and it opened at The London Palladium.

They all said "I do" 2/3 May 09

Not on air this weekend as we had two weddings
to attend. Each affair quite different, yet both a
delight to be a part of.
Great futures are assured for the happy couples
I wish them well as they head off to confront life's
challenges and reap its rich rewards...together.
Simon & Sam .. Jake & Kaz....Cheers!
