Strange Brew
A clue to the music you are liable to hear can be found in its title, 'Strange Brew' drawing its name from a song by 60s supergroup Cream. John's passion for weird and wonderful rock music from the 60s and 70s may occasionally veer towards the norm, but more often than not wildly eclectic choices will emerge from a limitless collection. Fittingly to go alongside wigged out music from the golden era of prog-rock is a suitable low key and laconic presenting style, this is what night time radio always used to be like. A presenter who puts great care into creating the atmosphere for his show, John splendidly insists on turning the studio lights off and bringing in a spot light, leaving many to wonder quite what is going on in there. Strange indeed.
