 love Keith listening to Keith Fletcher. Keith has had to head on but he's listening in the car so there's a couple nice messages actually for Keith. It says I got the pension two weeks ago and I'm still loving listening to Keith Fletcher. Good stuff, that's brilliant. Love to your vanguard boys, Hilary and Bob, battle buffet. Hilary will definitely get the vanguard boys on for you as well and I'm sure Keith will be delighted to hear that. And this one says big thank you to Keith and Ivan. Many great years of music looking back through the years. One of my favourite memories listening to the tunes on the radio while getting ready for the weekend. One memory springs to mind yourself, not on the radio but your shows are way ahead of the game with your tunes. Thank you very much. That's Scotty, good man Scotty. And he says I enjoyed listening to Vici Levels long before it was a massive hit and when you dropped it the floor was electric. Scotty, good man as well. Good to hear from you and I really appreciate that text, that's for Keith and myself there as well. So joined in studio by Joe Dex and Marty Freel, how you doing, man? Ivan, how you doing? Oh good, good. Busy day, especially for Joe, per Joe has been flat out on the technical end today and for pretty, you've done all that all day and you still managed to come up as well. Well I had to come up for this. I appreciate that Joe, now for pretty, because you know what I mean, you're the man behind the whole setup as well. Yeah but it was a great day down there, you know loads of donations and loads of people coming to stop and talk to us and brilliant crack as well. I called down for a little while on my lunch break and there was a great buzz down there and there was people donating and listen the guys were just electric. Marty you were on the bike for real as well? I was the final person on the bike. Yeah well you'd be one of the fittest here so don't know about that. Yeah man, you put in a few Ks then. Yeah I feel like a few, 8K or something in 20 months. Yeah, that's a great buzz. And you know what, it's all for the charities as well. The money raised today, it's just great as well. Yeah and it continues as well even right throughout the weekend which is great. From early morning here, Jimmy and Paul was on during the early shift. I was on all week and it was an early raise. They were looking a wee bit bleary eyed now apparently. They were saying there wasn't too many hours of sleep to be honest but I didn't know they were excellent. The wee video with them outside as well, just coming in the door as well. The banter between the two guys, they're just a good crush. Just keep it lively two in the morning then. Alison, the 34 years, the time flies as the man says. Marty you remember coming to the station? Do you remember? I do, I remember coming here I would say about 30 years ago. Got my mum and dad to drop me off. I was always very anti-broadcasting from a very young age. Didn't know how to go about getting here. Couldn't get to college to study media and then back in the late 80s it was only really kicking off then so I remember coming here as a very young lad around 15 or 16 looking to get in here. How do you go about it? Do you remember your first show? I do. I was on with Keith at a spot back in the power where he was taking young presenters on at the time. A DG for a day I remember that. I think that was a great opportunity and a great idea at the time for Keith and the show and we chopped at the butt to get on there and there's no mobile phones as you know back in the days. Keith doesn't like admitting it but he was a real pioneer for us guys as well. I approached Keith when I was only 15 and he brought me up and he showed me around the studio and he didn't have to do that as well. Even when you met Keith out in the nightclubs like when I came to our county first Keith was at Nero's back in the day. We're going back in time. Yeah back in time on the Fridays and when we used to get a bus to letter coming back in the day Keith was the man in the nightclub like and we fired Keith around then he was on the radio so like you know and he was never never one not to speak to young ones and get still to the state bring us all on like so I have great respect for Keith Fletcher you know and always even to see him here this evening like he's been one of the great ones and always easy to talk about him now because he wouldn't allow his gentleman. Joe do you remember your first John Tonhan radio? I do I was actually I heard almost talking about it earlier but other people started from pirate radio stations and I came from that kind of What did you do when we're hearing it now? I seem to remember I seem to remember something with that as well. But now Dunda asked me to come up when there was an Avery show on here at the time it was on on a Thursday night and it was Mickey Doherty at the time he showed me the ropes on the desk and you know on the mixer and things I guess but Mark actually who's starting with us now he asked me on the way up in the car were you nervous on your first show I says I was standing out there outside the studio and I wasn't nervous at all I was looking in to see I couldn't wait to get on but once that red light you know the on-air red light came on I was I started kind of freaking out a little bit but I do you remember well I um just there's a like once you get into the zone I just fell in love with this through the way you know it was just Do you remember your first tune? I don't I heard you talking about that was great but I don't remember my first song I think the only reason I remember mine but I wouldn't want to say it but the reason I remember mine is the first day I went on the radio it was the anniversary of Elvis Presley's death I think it was like the 13th to 14th anniversary so I thought I better play some Elvis so it was actually Elvis burning love so that was the first song I played so uh yeah so that's probably it sticks in mind because of that occasion like but uh yeah listen the memories are there do you know what we're gonna do we're gonna um I know you're itching to play Broadcaster Bingo that's why he's came up isn't it like you know what I mean so uh you're itching to play it so it will play we tune and then we'll come back with more next
