7pm, Friday 4th March sees the start of a brand new show on Radio Fox called Absolute Beginners. The show is hosted by one of Radio Fox’s newest recruits Nick Gale, fresh out of the Radio Fox training school.
Absolute Beginners is a specialist music show centred around the music of Modernist Pop Culture from the 1950s onwards, hence the show’s title taken from the Colin MacInnes novel. Although the title could equally be a reference to the 1980s film, or the David Bowie song or even The Jam’s No 4 hit from 1981. It might even refer to the fact that this is Nick’s first ever show on Radio Fox.
What does that mean musically? It means Nick will be playing anything from Modern Jazz from the 1950s, music popular with the scooter riding mods of the 1960s through to the Britpop era from the turn of the century. So that is a great selection of music in store every Friday from 7pm.
Nick has travelled the globe and has many an interesting anecdote to share with you along the way so tune in every Friday from 7pm and share an amusing hour of great music with Nick Gale.
