Back in the Day at Sunset Radio, one of our proudest moments was securing an exclusive interview with Coretta Scott King the widow of Dr Martin Luther King.


One of my most prized possessions from the days of Sunset Radio is something that we received right out of the blue.


Our celebrations continue. In this photo album we bring you some of the people and places that made Sunset Radio what it was. Some of these photos are not very high quality but it is all that I have got. If you have better quality photos or originals then please get in touch.

Back in the days of Sunset Radio we were offered two tickets to attend the Motown Convention taking place in Kingston, Jamaica. I decided that one of our journalists, Marilyn Comrie, would attend and we would have a competition to find a listener to accompany her on the trip. This is the letter I received from the winner, Angela Clarke, on their return.


It is truly one of the most wonderful songs EVER recorded. I hope you will buy this record and help to spread the word about it.
