Along the way, he shares memories of early concerts, musical heroes, and the glam rock era that left a lasting impression on him growing up.
📻 Pat looks back on the early days of radio and television, reflecting on how different entertainment felt during the rise of pop culture in the 80s and 90s. From pioneering music television across Europe to becoming part of the sound of London radio, the stories offer a glimpse into an era before streaming, social media, and smartphones changed everything.
