The weekly 'oldies' programme, "Vintage Vinyl's", a title I didn't choose myself, started on RosFM radio during the evening of the station's first day of broadcasting, 13th January 2005. I'd been involved in preparations for the station's commencement since the previous August. This particular show was intended to be the final 'Vintage Vinyl's and went out at 7pm on '11th October 2007'. Due to circumstances, I continued until Christmastime, so the final programme was actually a 2 hour seasonal bash on the night of 20th December. It was my last show ever on RosFM as it turned out! Of the 140 odd editions, I've salvaged about 20 from CD's in the back of my cupboard! This show was recorded from the studio desk onto cassette via the 'mute' studio radio! Obviously, things were slipping very badly by then! I took over the weekly 'Swing' programme in May 2006 which I hosted until December 2007. Numerous other impromptu programmes, plus producing documentaries etc. kept me extremely busy!
