Rather than focus on one particular era, The Greatest Hits Of Music plays the biggest and best hits from the sixties right up to today’s hits. The show is about the strength of the artists and their familiarity with their songs.

It’s about the best-produced, and most-uplifting hits through the years. All mixed together with occasional songs from charts around the world. Music and showbiz news, and a bit of light fun and banter.

Music has always been a huge part of my life,in particular the 80’s era, as I went through school at this time and thenbegan working towards the end of the decade.  So, I have many fondmemories from around then, which I can always relate back to through music.

The first single I bought was “ Wings of adove “ by Madness in 1983 and my first ever album was “ White Feathers “ byKajagoogoo from later that year.  I saved money as a kid through doing mypaper round and would get the bus down to the local music store at the weekendsto buy records, spending time looking over the shelves, before selecting thesingle or album to add to my collection that week.

On “ The 80’s Hour “ here on Wave Mallorcayou will hear a wide array of different artists and music from thisdecade.  We will bring you some songs that are a little “ outside of thebox “ while definitely still capturing your memories, and also play someclassics and chart toppers.

 Please join me on ‘ The Wave 80’s Hour ‘every Sunday from 9 – 10 am.
