Another classic Capital ceramic just added to our #radiomerch collection - this one from the late 90s. More by chance than planning, we’ve had quite a few @Capradland merch additions recently. Here are a few of the others too. @RadioMugs @RadioMerch #showusyourmugs

Swoon @Capradland #showusyourmugs

@mikelawrencetv @Capradland Some of those Capital Music Festival line ups were off off the Richter scale Mike 😃

An unlikely charity shop find - the brochure for the 1990 @Capradland London #Jazz Festival (50p!) That was quite a line-up! @CrowleyOnAir

Sending Many Happy Returns to the @Capradland and @BoomRadioUK Legend, @NickyHorne!!📻🎂 Hope You Have a Great Day Nicky!!😊

New to our collection: this nice 1970s @Capradland keyring to go with the similar 1980s one that we already have 💙 #radiomerch

#PhotocardFriday Neil Long at Capital London, mid-90s 📷@Capradland

Remembering one of the founders of @Capradland, Richard Attenborough - who we lost on this day in 2014!📻 Being a distinguished actor and director, he helped launch the station from its birth and uttered the first words.. “This, for the very first time is Capital Radio!'”

A Capital quiz for you from late 1985. I don’t have the answers for you I’m afraid… A few of them are repeated in the alt text (limited by permitted number of characters) as the text in each image is quite small. Good luck!

@Capradland "Opposite Warren Street tube"? 😉

I knew I had a set of the original Capital Gold photocards somewhere and today they turned up in box I hadn’t opened in years - as a bonus, they are still in the Capital bag from when I bought them at Euston Tower!

@davadski Yes - funnily enough I found a Thames TV shop bag when I was rummaging around as well! Although there was nothing in it, so I don’t know what it was I bought all those years ago…

@Capradland Was that shop near the Thames Shop? 🤔 I bought a mug and a tie (very Alan Partridge) from there in the '80s

@PaulPhear That would explain it 🤣

Staying with the Capital Gold theme, here is a later batch from the Leicester Square era. I can offer no more info on who the Naughty Boys were, so please feel free to explain!

@Capradland The Naughty boys were Mike Osman's brothers (Tony, Paul and Dave).

@airchecks Thank you!

@automark20 Yes - these are just Capital Gold. I did a thread of earlier ones here:

@Capradland There's quite a few missing as well. Mike Smith, Graham Dene, Tony Myatt, John Sacs, Roger Scott, to name a few. Any pictures of these legends of 70's Cap Rad?
