Radio Trent began 50 years ago in July. We're helping to plan a big party! If you worked in Notts commercial radio since then, drop me a DM to sort invites.

I was truly thrilled this morning to see that Heart brand is now No. 1 by reach across the U.K., beating the mighty BBC Radio 2 I can’t remember when R2 wasn’t top dog! Truly amazing performance from James Rea Ashley Tabor-King CBE and all the talented on-air and back-office

Today has been rather sad as I’ve just got back from my dear friend COLIN BERRY‘s funeral, it was lovely to see another friend of mine Keith Skiews who I haven’t seen for a long time. We had a chat about our days out there on Radio Caroline and Big L Radio London

What are you celebrating this weekend? Our John Peters is marking his daughter Suzi's wedding

Daft memories of the great John Peters who died last night. So often it's others who make you the person you become - and John left his mark on so many radio lives.

1/ Morning #journalism #students - this profession can get you down. Bu if you work in broadcast, don't be put off by those tiresome folk whose sole role in life seems to be attacking you and the decisions you make.

Just passed Kenny Everett’s old flat in Lexington Gardens. I was at the blue plaque ceremony a few years ago. Much missed, a good friend and a true unique genius. 😢

It’s total back-to-back Beach Boys at our local tonight Fothergills. Thanks to barman Kyran’s good taste. He’s Gen Z - and says his dad’s been in tears.

Sorting out stuff ready for Radio Trent’s 50th anniversary. Rather a lot of my life hinged on this 2 minute demo tape. It was a production piece on how tough it was to get a job in radio!

100th parkrun UK! Thanks to my trainer, Rob. Not quite a PB at the madly hilly Forest Rec - but 22’35” is not too shabby for an old’un. :)

Thanks to all LDRS post-holders past and present. Your journalism has served Nottingham well.

Now, tomorrow is Thursday 3rd July. I wonder whose voice might fittingly introduce the day's programmes briefly @boomradiouk just before 6am, with a nod to 50 years ago. #hinttothewise #nottingham

50 years ago today, John Peters opened Nottm’s Radio Trent. Just weeks after his death, enjoy a fond 30 mins with John. audioboom.com/posts/8743636-…

If you’re into the history of radio and near Oxford, there’s an interesting exhibition on until the end of August bodleian.ox.ac.uk/about/media/ja…

📻 David Lloyd Or in Manchester ... northwestsoundheritage.org/piccadilly-rad…

Just found an old C60 from my teenage years. Appears I went to pains to tape the records but chopped off jingles and presenter links. Must have been an odd phase.

A weird but fab morning! Run 5.30 UK Maggie's Centres with hundreds of dawn runners through the streets of Nottingham.

So sad to hear of Charlie’s death. A lovely, lovely man - and committed to local radio. He’ll be much missed by all whose paths he crossed.
