I suppose my musical journey started at the tender age of 9 years old
when I received a copy of The Beatles' Twist and Shout ep for Xmas 1963,
which I played constantly as it was the only record in the house that actually belonged to me.
The first discs I bought myself were again by the Fab Four, these being the
Sgt. Pepper album and Magical Mystery Tour ep., both with money I received
for Xmas 1967.
My musical tastes expanded through the progressive ' 70s and electronic ' 80s
but I still have an affinity with the psychedelic ' 60s, especially the afformentioned Beatles.
As well as listening I also take part in various music quizzes, some serious and some not so serious.
I remember listening to the pirate stations between ' 66 & ' 67, Kid Jensen's ' Dimensions ' show
( midnight to 2am. that was ) in the early ' 70s, and John Peel's ' Top Gear '.
Recently I've done some work for a local radio station and welcome the opportunity Offshore Music Radio have given me to
expand this particular activity. One thing that gives me pleasure is playing the music I enjoy to people who might not
have had the opportunity to hear it first time round.
