All Together Now

Programmes commemorating forty years of UK commercial radio continued over the holiday period. At the time of writing you can still catch Paul Rowley’s excellent documentary for BBC Local Radio stations, The Other Side of the Dial.

Listeners to Clyde 2 last Tuesday evening, those not partying hard for Hogmanay, will have heard Jim Symon and Tom Ferrie, one of the Clyde original old boys, chewing the fat and recalling 40 Years of Radio Clyde. They dusted off a few archive recordings too with the voices of Billy Connolly, Sheila Duffy, Richard Park, Tiger Tim, Romeo, Mike Riddoch, Billy Sloan, Frank Skerrett, Tony Currie and Jimmy Mack plus news and sports highlights.
