My first show? How can this be possible?
I was clearing out my cupboards recently and found the setlist from the first ever radio show I broadcast, for Billericay-based short-term station Mayflower FM back on 1 September 1995. I shared this list with a number of people who had to agree that it was indeed “banging”, so I decided to make it the subject of my latest show and faithfully follow it, even the tracks I crossed out for some reason. Enjoy!
