Leap into Spring with us and enjoy some exceptional goodies from our archives. Pianist Callum Kenmuir has always been a regular visitor to our Glasgow studios. In 1986 he recorded a series of hour-long piano programmes playing all the familiar sounds. We're repeating The Piano Room series starting on Leap Day - February 29th - at 1900 (repeated on Monday at 0600). Craig Davis was a much loved high profile and very flamboyant DJ on the Glasgow club circuit in the 70s and 80s. He came into our studios in 1986 for a weekly non stop mix of disco music. We've unearthed a few of his many programmes and are repeating them starting on Feb 29th at 2300 with a repeat the following Friday at 2000. Listen out for Craig Davis Eurobeat
Stay with us and please bear with us as we begin the big move from Glasgow to Lismore. Sometimes, at short notice, we may have to reschedule programmes or delay updating the website or playlist. But it will all be worth it!
