Hi my name is Sandy M, Being a child of the 70s, I began to take notice of chart music at around the age of 5 or 6 years old, which would have been the early 80s. Like many of my school friends I would be glued to the radio as often as possible hoping to hear my favourite records. I used to visit the local record shop with my mum from a very early age, which is where my music collection began. Over the years, I have collected many different types of music. Now I have the opportunity to share some of that music with you, here on your favourite station. My show includes weekly features such as.. “RETRO REWIND” “TIME TUNNEL” & “SANDY M's 12"INCH FINISH” I hope you can join me from time to time right here each week. I look forward to sharing some great music with you from across all the decades. 60s, 70, s 80s, 90s, 00s & 10s.. Sandy M x
