Graham Dene

Just heard “Magic Town” by The Vogues on ⁦⁦@BoomRadioUK⁩. Not a hit in the UK but regularly played on pirate radio such as the “sweet music” station Radio 390 from the wartime fort Red Sands in the Thames Estuary. Here’s the ad from my schoolboy scrapbook.

@radioriley @muirgray Impressive Phil. My son did the same thing a couple of years ago plus Sa Calobra in August!!

Best time ever for my morning Bay loop. Not bad for a 62 year old ⁦@muirgray⁩ would be impressed :) strava.app.link/BDIzSnz1mhb

@NickyHorne @BoomRadioUK @grahamdene Two of my fave DJs from Cap Rad days. From Breakfast to Your Mother Wouldn't Like It. Magic.

Wonderful to see. It's been a long time since Beach Boys Stomp in the 80s, @grahamdene!

This Day: 1979. UBN closed after 9 years. Biscuit factory radio - worker pairs had speaker and volume control. UBN launched commercial radio careers, like @steveallenshow, Dale Winton, Adrian Love, Roger Scott, @NickyHorne, and @grahamdene soundcloud.com/paul-easton/ub… #radiomoments

Those were the days!

Good article in today’s @Guardianonline about where it all started for me and others @UBN

110 to be precise!!

@TheTashmichael @NickyHorne @EHKenwood 110 to be precise!!

@NickyHorne @grahamdene @EHKenwood Graham dene must be 100 now

@theJeremyVine Hi Jeremy, Not sure if you saw my email but if not, well spotted it was me on that Argos ad! And thanks for listening all those years ago!

@Leedsfan247 @RadioMoments @DavidLloydRADIO Thank you Peter and sorry for the late response!

@grahamdene listening to your interview for @RadioMoments @DavidLloydRADIO your enthusiasm still shines through. All the old names at Capital I’d forgotten. Lucky enough to have met you playing The Wall Game. Keep doing what you do and stay well😀 🎧 🎶

@r_solomons Lovely photo and memories Susan, thank you for sharing.

@mrsverypicky @rondoburlesca @simonmayo @DavidLloydRADIO I agree, thank you Sue.

@rondoburlesca @simonmayo @DavidLloydRADIO @grahamdene Graham Dene? Them's were the days!

The Radio Moments Conversations podcasts from @DavidLloydRADIO have somehow built up into an impressive archive of over 100 interviews, provides a unique slice of radio presenter history. Listened to the @grahamdene edition last night with great pleasure davidlloydradio.com/conversations

@Mr_Doops @rondoburlesca @DavidLloydRADIO Thank you Iamian pleased you enjoyed it.

@rondoburlesca @DavidLloydRADIO @grahamdene Best thing I’ve heard in years. It’s a treasure.

@rondoburlesca @DavidLloydRADIO Thank you for listening Constant and so pleased you enjoyed it. It was an honour to be part of @DavidLloydRadio

@geoffallen1 @DavidLloydRADIO Hi Geoff. I do have a copy of Sing on a cassette but as I told @DavidLloyd I haven't got a cassette player that works! Shame it was my crowning achievement!! Not that that says much!

@DavidLloydRADIO @grahamdene Apart from daily 4-hour radio shows, we had to make weekly 'safety commercials' at UBN...and Graham's production skills (script writing, mixing, editing...and singing!!!) inspired me in my radio career. His version of the Carpenter's "Sing" (a station promo) was a classic ❤

Another hour of 'Radio Moments - Conversations'. This time with @GrahamDene - who hosted Capital breakfast for two five-year spells - and also heard on City, Virgin, Magic, Smooth and now BBC local. audioboom.com/posts/7569920-…

@brianwinteruk @DavidLloydRADIO Lovely memories of Liverpool Brian. Thank you for the tweet!
