Wednesday

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

Having worked in Network Radio and TV producing a host of some of the most popular shows on British TV and radio, he’s just getting round to achieving his other ambition of hosting his own radio show, playing many of the favourite songs and bands he’s avidly collected since those teenage years. “I love a pretty eclectic mix of music, but if I had to pick, I guess Soul and R&B would be my sweet spot”.

Being a fan of music & radio from a young age led to Andy being involved in hospital radio, which in turn led to a career working in commercial radio & being a DJ in pubs & night clubs. The first record Andy bought was the Boy from New York City by Darts – which he bought from the bargain bin in Woolies! Andy admits to owning a copy of The Very Best of the Wombles on vinyl – and he has a secret passion for Jaffa cakes. But don’t tell anyone that! Oh, and then there's Curly Wurly's as well. If you miss any of Andy's shows and wish to catch up, he can be found here: https://www.mixcloud.com/andyontheradio/    

Our very own “Mr. Soul” – Mike has worked for countless radio stations over the years and DJ Chris Evans has reportedly referred to Mike as his favourite DJ! Radio Luxembourg, BRMB, Smooth Radio – even the other “Sunshine” in the UK and a host of other stations – Mike has proved to be one of the most popular DJs the Midlands has ever produced.

A few years ago Terry decided to get back into the thing he loves the most – radio. He was chosen to present the early breakfast show each weekday morning on the legendary Radio Caroline, and became the presenter of the weekly Retro Charts countdown show, which could be heard each week right here on Sunshine Radio Online. Terry can now be heard early afternoon hosting a show that brings back some of the best memories in radio along side some very interesting tracks that are not heard so often. Terry's shows can also be found to listen to again on MixCloud: https://www.mixcloud.com/terrysrealgold/

Tony has followed the DJ craft in the Northwest of England for over 30 years. A temporary pause from the glitz and glamour of vinyl and turntables followed a move to Shropshire where Tony and his wife have a set up a successful family business – the proverbial “Day Job” which DJs rely on to allow them to follow their passion for playing music. Tony started volunteering with a local Community Radio station around four years ago. Tony is now a very welcome member of the Sunshine Radio Online team.

Geoff has interviewed many thousands of the industry’s biggest artists – along the way he has also picked up 6 awards for his radio shows, which are heard on over 100 stations in 25 countries. Geoff’s musical tastes are “many and varied” but Rock and Soul tend to dominate.

Rodney Collins started his career in the mid-60s with local papers in Surrey before joining Record Mirror to run their radio coverage. After a spell with ATV-PYE Records and their theatre group, he moved to BBC Radio 1 & 2 and later to Radio Luxembourg where he worked in management for fourteen years. After that Rodney was MD of radio stations in London and Scotland, starting his own radio business in 2000.

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!
