My very first meeting with Dawn Payne took place over 20 years ago yet I can remember it like it was yesterday. We were in the planning stages of Sunset Radio having been awarded the licence some months earlier and we were in the process of recruiting the staff.

Simply Magnificent!!!

And, as 2024 comes around, the word is out that Colourful Drive with Mike Shaft is coming to an end! Our final show will be broadcast on Wednesday the 31st of January 2024! I do hope you will be able to join me for our final programme together!

Over the years I have had the great pleasure of meeting a number of celebrities and sports personalties. I have always tried to get a photo to remind me of that event. Thought I might show some of my favourites on this page, in no particular order. This is page 1, and more photos coming soon.

And, as 2024 comes around, we continue our quest to document every track we play on Colourful Drive on Colourful. And as we continue our 5th year of the show we will strive to reflect the quality black music that is out there from the past, present and the future!
