Blues From The Severn Delta

Listen To The Blues Backtracking

Papa Dee ... After nearly 10 years working for her Majesty (in the Royal Navy) I found myself on the South coast of the UK working for provincial radio as a general dog’s body. Finally, I persuaded some fool to take me on as a presenter. Any suggestions that I used drugs to get the job are entirely false!

Q-Burn

In 1984, after working for several landbased pirates in London, Peter got an audition at BBC Radio One. But despite being shortlisted he was pipped at the post by a Radio Luxembourg DJ who got the job due to his national profile.Ironically Peter was then signed up by Radio Luxembourg in April 1985, where he happily stayed until November 1991. As Peter recalls "For me getting Radio Luxembourg 208 was fantastic and it was surreal to be suddenly working alongside broadcasters that I had listened to all my life... like Bob Stewart and Stuart Henry. All the jocks that I...

Then in the late nineties worked in the agri- business sector. Although during all of that period music was ever present in my life. Then it happened!! June 2019 I...

I started broadcasting on Hospital Radio, something that I still do and found a niche and like-minded music lovers on Rock Radio UK and I’ve been with the station for a few years now. My shows are:The 60s Scene – I tend to focus on the years 66-69...

Wednesday's Even Worse

Ian McKenzie has been a blues fan since he was in his early teens - and thats a long time ago. In the late 1950s he was a ‘skiffler’ in a small group which was good enough to be selected by the National Jazz Federation to support the Chris Barber Band. Ian fell in love with the music that Chris played and was entranced by many (most) of the dozens of blues musicians he brought over to the UK. A lover of most types of blues from Mississippi through Chicago and including Zydeco and Cajun music, as well as the...
