My name is Gary and I present Blast From the 90s,I’ve been presenting on radio since 2011 doing live shows for a station in Bristol and Weston-super-Mare, but then I decided as well as these to launch my own radio shows for other stations as well.
My first show in 2017 was Blast from the past, which was about old UK/US chart rundowns, which I may come back to eventually if time allows. In 2019, I launched Blast from the 80s, and then during lockdown in 2020 I started Blast from the 90s. although the blast from the past show stopped, the other 2 have carried on as weekly shows.
The aim of the shows is to bring back some great tunes from these decades that maybe you’ve not heard in a long while, but I also get to play your first song bought in the decade as suggested by you the listener which are great and sometimes so random, and I get to test your knowledge of the first lines of songs from either decade.
I’ve also been fortunate to chat to some musicians who have released songs in these decades as well, and play some exciting new tracks from them too when available, as well as this, we find out a bit more about them from when those big tunes were released and more about them away from music too.
Anyway get involved where you can and I hope you enjoy listening to the shows, as much as I do putting them together.
Saturday & Sunday at 8am
