To celebrate the 50th anniversary, here are some ‘bits & pieces’ of the Radio 1 Roadshow – including the classic jingles, of course.
Much of this audio was originally broadcast on medium wave, now in high quality – here’s the show as you’ve never heard it before!
With legendary DJs including Steve Wright, Gary Davies, Peter Powell, Mike Read, Bruno Brookes, Adrian John, Simon Bates, Nicky Campbell, Mark Goodier and THE voice of the roadshow, Adrian Juste.
Getting Radio 1 out of London, the roadshow traveled across the UK’s coast each summer from 1973 until 1999 – when radio was all about having fun. It may help to know that bits and pieces was the long-running contest, where contestants had to identify 10 short clips of songs.
