BRIAN AGER

FOUNDER

From the moment he could carry a tennis racket guitar around, music has been central to Brian’s life. He first met Mike in 2013 and he got him his first radio show on Community Radio….and then everything changed. Brian has amassed a huge music collection and people often ask him why music is so important. His stock answer is “music is the only thing in my life that’s never let me down”. Brian presents From The Underworld on Saturdays from 9am and Tumbleweed Country on Sundays from 10am.

This was a case of us grabbing him as Richard was a listener who impressed us with his musical knowledge. Richard loves the Northern Soul, Freakbeat & Psychedelic sounds of the 60s and you can find plenty of this on Friday nights  in his Time Machine show, spinning through decades of fab music. With a collection of over 4000 singles there are plenty of B-sides to check-out....
