As a concept, the Chill Zone was born some years ago. The idea was to play some of the more laidback tracks in the collection. It has become something rather special because of the quality of the tunes we play and the variety. We are going to document All the Chill Zone tracks that we have played from day 1 on Colourful Drive on Colourful Radio. We have now decided to add the tracks from The Colourful Jazz Break as well.

All those years ago when I agreed to start doing the Gospel Hour, little did I realize how successful it would be and how long it would last. We are now on Episode 591 and more to come. It has been an absolute blast!

On Saturday August 30th 2008, Manchester District Music Archive (www.mdmarchive.co.uk) presented a very special event at Islington Mill in Salford, to celebrate Manchester’s Electro-Funk and B Boy heritage.

On Wednesday the 30th of September 2020, The Caribbean and African Health Network [CAHN] launched Black History Month with a wonderful on-line event. Our Keynote Speaker was Lord Simon Woolley. Lord Woolley was recently included in the book 100 Great Black Britons. This was his joyous and inspiring presentation.

Today, BBC Radio Manchester (fmr GMR) is celebrating its 50th Birthday. I have had the great pleasure of being a part of it for 21 years in 2 stints. My 1st encounter was in 1986 when, after being interviewed by the legendary and Late Phil Sayer, the then Manager, Tony Inchley offered me a job on the spot.

Recently I had the great pleasure of appearing on the George Galloway show on Sputnik. It was an absolute pleasure to be a part of this show and to meet one of my heroes once again. I do hope you enjoy the interview!

There is no doubt in my mind that the world is finally changing. The shocking killing of George Floyd in the States seems to have ignited something around the world which I believe will be difficult to stop. The Black Lives Matter campaign is now resonating across the world from the US to the UK to Australia to Africa and all countries in between. We are heading for a new normal! We should not miss this opportunity to make the world a better place.
