Friday

There is so much music that doesn't always reach the air. This is a selection of music that might not have been played so regularly, but is definitely worth playing. Enjoy!

Trevor covers the Breakfast Show with his usual pazazz while James is having a well deserved holiday.

Carl was one of the founding Amigo’s of Sunshine Radio Online – without his help and technical know-how at the very beginning, we would have been lost! Carl has worked on air for the BBC as both a DJ and as a technical assistant – Carl was part of the UDJ team – he is also a musician, and plays as often as he can, enjoying his favourite Two-Tone Ska beats – he is a huge fan of Madness. In between all of his commitments in life – Carl also manages to do shows on Sunshine – we think he must use Duracell to keep up the pace! Take a look at our schedule on our Facebook page to see when he is on Sunshine Radio Online.

After a spell with ATV-PYE Records and their theatre group, Rodney moved to BBC Radio 1 & 2 and later to Radio Luxembourg where he worked in management for fourteen years.

Alongside Simon's 208 Top 20 show, we have the return of a past favourite. Sunshine Radio Online have asked Simon to revive Tate's Gallery, which was another Tony Prince creation. The show will be re-introducing the Jukebox selections so look out for the selection panel where listeners pick a record for inclusion in the programme. The show will, as before, combine tracks from classic artists mingling with some of the best of the current releases. 'Star Exhibit' is a feature which for the first week is a new single from JP Saxe and will continue in a similar fashion each week - so expect the unexpected! The first of the new Tate's Galleries is on Sunshine Radio Online this Friday 14th April from 11am.

Our link to Nashville – Fred presents a regular show highlighting the very best of today’s Country Music.

His career has seen him meet, and in many cases work with, the megastars of yesteryear and today from all genres of music. From time to time on his Facebook posts you will see just a few of them – it would take decades for him to list them all! Fred is currently the CEO of Creative and Dreams Music Network LLC – he spent 25+ years at BMI becoming Senior Vice President. He was a Director at PWL (they sold over 400 million records worldwide and had 7 songs in the UK Top 10 in 1989) – The CEO and Managing Director at Carrere Records UK – he worked for EMI and was Senior Director for Harvest in the late 70s.

As Nigel puts it – “You get a bit of everything from me”.
