I have never looked back since, although I do like and play other genres of album music like Blues, Folk, Country Rock, Acoustic, Reggae, Indie, but definitely no Rap!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My favourite decade is the 1970\u2019s, which listeners will soon become aware of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Show Info<\/strong>:  70&#8217;s, Counrry, Glam, Rock<br><strong>Showtimes<\/strong>: Sunday 10PM-00AM | Tuesday 08PM-10PM<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I wanted to be a DJ from the age of 17, with an ambition to work for the famous UK pirate station Radio Caroline.
