Back in 1985 I asked 25 year old Terry Hall if he'd like to be a guest DJ on Piccadilly radio one evening. A shy slightly reticent pop star came into the studio in Manchester from his home in Stockport and we sat together with a pile of Records and two hours to fill.

I played them in real time and encouraged him to tell his story of the music and people that had inspired him.
He's been in the Specials, Fun Boy Three and now the Colourfield. He used this Easter weekend special to play some tracks from the soon to be released album and show us the sort of music he liked.

Piccadilly radio was at the forefront here of bringing pop stars out as real people.

My role was to produce it and I chose to let him be the presenter without being interviewed. The outcome is revealing.

The tapes have been in the loft since 1985.

This is the first time is been heard since then.

Have a listen to 2 hours of magic, unusual radio. I bet his family would love to hear his voice like this....

Massive influence on music

I kind of take these songs for granted sometimes, but they are so outrageously good
