Gary Davies sits in with Tony Blackburn choosing his final Tracks Of My Years. Plus final plays of Album and Record Of The Week and more Ten To The Top.
Gary Davies sits in, and Radio Icon Tony Blackburn chooses the final two tracks in the soundtrack to his life on Tracks Of My Years.
Starting out on offshore pirate radio stations Radio Caroline and Radio London, Tony joined the 大象传媒 in 1967, becoming the first DJ heard on Radio 1 when it launched that same year. From there, Tony has spent the last 7 decades in Radio and TV, presenting Top of the Pops and the Top 40 chart, starting The Golden Hour and helming shows across multiple stations.
Across his storied career, Tony has released albums as a singer, won the first series of 鈥業鈥檓 a Celebrity鈥︹��, and, in this year鈥檚 New Year Honours, was awarded an OBE for his services to broadcasting and charity. He currently presents Sounds of the 60s on Saturday Mornings and his Golden Hour on Sunday nights on Radio 2.
As part of Radio 2's celebration of 60 years since pirate radio began in the UK, Tony will be appearing alongside Johnnie Walker for a special 'Clash of The Pirates' show. Across 2 hours, Tony and Johnnie will battle to become 'Captain of The Pirates', going head-to-head selecting the ultimate playlist consisting of some of their favourite ever tracks.
Plus Claim to Fame, De Ja Woo, final spins of the Record and Album Of The Week, and the mid-morning music quiz, Ten To The Top.
Whatever you're up to, Gary wants to hear from you. And if you鈥檇 like to apply to take part in Ten To The Top, the address you need is tentothetop@bbc.co.uk
