Friday night is... 1989

[Glow worm]

And the 12th and 27th I remember 252 LW . Was that or radio 1 on 275/285MW ( 1089/1053 by then though ....... ) as music of choice in works van

Where I lived at the time (Aberystwyth) Atlantic 252 was on everywhere, brilliant and with a massive signal from just over the water in Ireland. Luckily Radio 1 didn't get a look in!

As @John the Monkey already posted my fave of all time (pacific state), not to mention a fair few classics, I'll do some of the best of the rest.

Holly Dunn, Hot 100 No1 from 1989, she died recently, only 59, life can be such a bas some times.

Great singer with some great albums to her name.

I worked "security" at a Dwight gig (I think it was 1987 or 88) and it turned out going badly wrong when some nazis kicked off - I have no idea of the background as to why nazis were at a Dwight gig - cutting a long story short: nazis out, security on stage, Dwight rocked

I've seen him a few times, he never disappoints.
