The legend that is Tony Blackburn. A pioneer of British broadcasting, Tony Blackburn began his career in 1964 on the offshore pirate radio station Radio Caroline. More than six decades on, he’s still behind the microphone, presenting ‘Sounds of the 60s BBC Radio 2. Awarded an OBE in 2024 for services to broadcasting and charity – and rightly so. Tony remains a lifelong champion of soul music. What a pleasure to spend some time with such a radio legend. “Long may the soul music play, Tony!”
