He got some stick for his hair but he knew how to work a radio studio. Always so tight with the jingles and love the top 10 at 10 jingle over the great music/great city jingle at 4'25. Such memories of when it really was the station to listen to. A real shadow of its former self now.
I remember the Pat and Mick days, then this. I was about 14 in 1989 and used to listen to him on a Friday night doing the 7-10 slot. He was the first to play ‘Mary’s Prayer’ and songs by ‘Liberty Town’, Brother Beyond and Waterfront, Breathe, Johnny Hates Jazz and Climie Fisher… those were the days… miss them
@@voice.of.reason It's the same 8 dry tracks 12x before Lunch. I only really have to endure it at work but haven't had to recently. I do give them props for Banter and phone-ins find my laughing but it's the same JARRING music on a playlist tighter than a fly's arse. I'm more into throwback stations and No Repeat 9 to 5.
When capital really did rule the waves

Still does his thing over on Greatest Hits Radio.
Really great memories of Capital Radio and later Capital FM.
Absolutely superb back in the 80s and 90s.
Wow history trip.... Capital ruled back in the day

When Capital was Capital. Now it's just KISS Lite!
KISS 100 and capital are pretty much the same now its sad. kiss used to play proper dance stuff and reggae, capital used to be so.. dramatic!
No Capital is more dance music than Kiss these days. Kiss is Capital Xtra lite
@@tractorface1236kiss was great when it was Bam Bam and Streetboy at Breakfast!
I rem pat sharpe who done top 10 at 10 it was the best over london
Used to love Capital for the pop. Kiss for the dance/hip hop. But damn, Choice FM was for all the smooth grooves of the 90’s/2000’s…
the good old days!
I listen to 1548 AM in my car for Gold DAB now lol
WOW! Big think you for the memories!Do you have any other jingles eg. CT (Chris Tarrant) shows etc?
seemed to all go wrong when they left the euston tower..perhaps they went too showbiz,showbiz
Proper music radio!
Classic
Good but an awful shame about the poor quality recording
Now what to listen to in London?
Radio Jackie? Not as dramatic but still pretty good.
The sound of your inner silence (otherwise, Spotify lol) 😁 😎 🙏🏾
@@tractorface1236 Even they get a bit repetitive
Capital of course. It sounds just how a hit station should sound in 2021 if you aren't an old fogey.
