Mike is a combination of historian, ‘artist’, psychiatric health care professional, tour guide at Sudeley castle and presenter at Radio Winchcombe.
Interestingly Mike had no experience broadcasting until starting his show ‘Winchcombe Calling’ in 2013, and the show is still as popular as ever. It’s theme, Mike says “ is inspired by the radio shows he listened to back in the 70’s and 80’s by the late and great, John Peel”. Mike’s show features a mixture of punk, reggae, rock, blues, rockabilly, old soul, folk, prog, indie, some jazz, pop, country, trip hop, world and any other genres that’s left. Mostly the music is from the 50’s to the 90’s, occasionally even further back from the distant past as well as bang up to date. Keeping his ear to the ground, Mike likes to include ‘special’ shows to his repertoire marking anniversaries of significant albums, bands and historical musical events.
Join Mike every Friday night from 21:00 – 23:00.
