 I started out working for local newspapers in Surrey and then the music press as a
journalist for Record Retailer (now Music Week) and then as News Editor for
Record Mirror. I was the first British journalist to report on, and visit, RNI and was
responsible for the supplement on Radio Veronica which added 60,000 to
Record Mirror's sales in Europe.
At the end of the 1960's I worked for ATV in their theatre and record divisions
before joining BBC Radios 1 and 2 in 1971, working in publicity and presentation
and contributing to programmes like "Scene and Heard". Then I joined commercial
radio, as Director of News Programming for Radio Luxembourg and
- later - as part of the set-up team for Atlantic 252.
I presented Luxembourg's long-running "208 Editorial" programme for ten years and was responsible for live coverage
for four general elections.
After a spell as Managing Director of local stations in Glasgow and London, plus some time as Director of Programmes at Manx Radio, I joined Isles FM in Stornoway in 2000.
The current weekly show for Offshore Music Radio features a top 5 fastest selling album or singles list from any month between 1958 - 1976, plus listener requests and dedications.
I also still broadcast weekly for Isles FM, the local commercial station that serves the Western Isles and Highlands of Scotland, produce CD's and run a small hotel on the East Yorkshire Coast with my family - visit us at http://www.theradcliffeguesthouse.co.uk/
