Trevor Davis

London born Trev says that his passion for "classic Disco choons" stems from when he was ~DJing in Spain and South London in the late 70s & early 80s.

 

"The music was uplifting and created a feel-good factor - you had no option but to dance. Unlike more modern dance music, 'Classic' Disco was mainly a thumping drum beat combined with a solid brass section and great vocals.

I try to recreate that happy, positive vibe - after all, let's face it ... we all need cheering up on a Monday teatime".

 

"My musical heroes are Stevie Wonder, Earth Wind and Fire and Luther Vandross and, whilst I love a great dance choon, I am also a huge fan of relaxed and soulful ballads. 

 

This is why I present 2 shows every week.

David Hoyle

David is an experienced presenter of Brass Band music shows.  He presented over 650 shows for the BBC and during lockdown began a weekly online show which recently passed a milestone of 200 shows.  David is delighted to be joining the Jolly Good Radio family with his weekly dose of brass and Yorkshire banter.  David is in big demand as a concert compere and works with bands of all ages and abilities. He is at home presenting any concert be it with a beginner’s band or with one of the World’s leading brass bands.

 

David started his association with brass bands at the tender age of 5 with his local junior band in the West Yorkshire village of Slaithwaite, (Slawit to locals!). His playing career ended in the mid-1980s, but the love of brass bands never went away, and he was invited to present BBC Radio Leeds West Yorkshire Brass in 2008 to cover a six-week period in the Autumn of that year.  The six-week period ended up being fourteen years!

 

After a break of 29 years, David got back into playing again in 2015 at a charity event in collaboration with the Brighouse & Rastrick Band. He is now back playing full time with the band where it all started, Slaithwaite as well as making guest appearances at events of other bands. Listen to Yorkshire Brass between 13.00 - 15.00 (UK) every Sunday.

I bought my first single in 1969....."Sugar Sugar" by The Archies!!! I continued collecting rather a cross section of music until my best friend bought me "Burn" by Deep Purple for my eighteen birthday!! That was it....I became a life long "rocker" from then on!!

​

So my first love is ROCK, as is my second & third love.....although The Carpenters are my guilty pleasure!! Aside from Rock, I also love Sixties & Seventies music.....probably because I lived through them!!! lol

​

My love of Radio has been going for more years than I care to remember.....25+ years with Sunshine Radio on the Isle of Wight & a stint on internet radio with Vectis Radio for eight years, then I seemed to get offers to broadcast my shows all over the place!

​

A final thought....If someone had told me in 1969 not to collect the 6000 plus albums I collected over the decades because you'd be able to access them & more on a mobile phone that fits in the palm of your hand I'd have never have believed it!!! Mind, I did enjoy collecting them!!!

 

Listen to Electric 80's every Saturday 18.00 - 19.00 and a Re-Run on Wednesday's 20.00 - 21.00 (UK)

I grew up on the southwest coast of Scotland, in a small seaside town which was formerly Glasgow’s answer to Blackpool until people could afford to travel further afield! I’ve always loved radio and broadcasting in general. I grew up in a household where music was always being played. My mum’s partner was a radio and club DJ playing music that no one else was really playing at the time in that part of the world – soul, funk and disco. I had access to the most incredible record collection, which ultimately led me to start my own show in 1998 – Grooveline – which I still host now on Sunday at 20.00. I left Scotland in 2001 to go to university in Staffordshire. After a few years in Reading, work and music lured me to London which is now home. Although my paid job is now in television, radio is still my first love.

My first job was in a music shop inside an indoor market back home in Saltcoats. I was 16 and still at school. The music varied wildly, but essentially it was the cheapest of the cheap CDs. Not long after I started my boss somehow got his hands on a job lot of over 10,000 Dean Martin CDs from the 50s that he had to shift. I was under strict instructions that I couldn’t play anything else in the shop other than Dean Martin until the CDs shifted. That was in 1999. I think the CD is still playing in the shop now.

​

You can catch Grooveline every Sunday between 20.00 - 22.00 (UK)
