| Comment / History:- |
Barry originally offered the use of his Red MKI 1500 GT Cortina to transport Radio Kaleidoscope’s equipment.In the early days a lot of broadcasts were live: very few shows were taped. The taped shows were always kept as standby programmes in case a problem occurred or a DJ failed to turn up. Barry soon found himself spinning discs and talking into a microphone on a regular basis. 
When the roadshows started in the form of Discophonic Discos, Barry was keen to join in and became one of main road show DJs. Weekends became a combination of radio by day and roadshows by night.
For the rest of the week Barry would spend his time at the local karate club trying build up his strength so that he could carry all our 45RPM discs (over 3000!) and equipment around.
Barry was also the best man at J.O’s wedding and has remained in touch ever since. |
