Hi everybody.
It was around this time last year that Brian Hartgen and I decided to launch the Bell to carry Welcome to the Weekend and the Music Machine. We were quickly approached by Anne Cosgrove as she was looking for a home for the Zone, which we were both very happy to carry. All 3 shows got an excellent reception from the word go, and the Bell grew from that point on.

Hi everyone
Tomorrow it will be time for another edition of Golden Years, 7 PM UK, 3 PM Eastern, www.the-bell.net.
This week we’re going back to 1980, as usual with news clips, movie summaries and the music. We’ll also hear news events and audio material reflecting them.
This was the year Adam and the Ants were in the charts, the Police were so lonely, John Lennon sadly died, and “the lady was not for turning”. There were many significant sporting events too which we will focus upon.

Oh boy! Oh boy oh boy oh boy! It's one of my two least favourite times of the year, when all the clocks start to move in different directions.

Hi to everyone
This week on Saturday, 2 PM Eastern, 7 PM UK, I will present Golden Years, looking at 1978.
There was a lot of great music during this year, and I’ll be playing some of the most popular songs together with some more obscure ones which did make the chart but which you may have forgotten about. I’ll tell you the background to some of them too, such as why they were written.
This week we also have plenty of audio archive material recalling the news events, movies and TV of the year.

Hi everyone. I would consider some of the music that was around in the 1980’s to be some of the finest I’ve ever heard. It was the best decade for music in my humble opinion. Weekends in the 1980’s were also so much fun. Friday night meant no homework, having Chips for tea, staying up late and lying in bed on a Saturday as late as I wanted.

Just as you thought quality radio was safe, we're back again to lower the tone with another Mosen Explosion!
And what an incredibly action-packed day in history 1 march happens to be. Our featured artist this week is Glen Miller, born on this day in 1904. We'll be playing some great Miller tunes.
There are plenty of other musical anniversaries we'll celebrate, including the release of Dark Side of the Moon, now that is one amazing album I tell you!

Hi Everyone.
When Brian Hartgen and I began this project almost a year ago now, it was just the two of us. Very quickly, we were contacted by Anne Cosgrave who had a strong desire to be involved. I hadn’t heard Anne broadcast before but she had an excellent reputation behind her. On hearing a demo show from her, Both Brian and I snapped her up.
