The first voice of Classic FM and former Pirate Radio broadcaster Nick Bailey will be making a return to the Leicester Music Society on 13th October where he’ll talk about his broadcasting career, starting as a newsreader on Radio Caroline in 1966, through to work in Australia, the British Forces Broadcasting Service in Gibraltar, Cologne (including Family Favourites) and Berlin during the Cold War. And back to Hong Kong working for the government station hosting the morning current affairs programme in the run up to the handover to China in 1997.

And for those who missed it last time, a resumé of how Classic FM was set up, and how he became the station’s first voice when it opened on the 7th September 1992.

Nick now presents a Sunday morning programme on Boom Light, the sister station to Boom Radio. He’ll also talk about the various musical genres he’s had to present—from pop, rock, country, to classical and finally the music on Boom Light, which harks back to the old Light Programme.
