Retro Hits and Headlines — Gill Hardiker

Hi I’m Gill Hardiker and I present the Retro Hits and Headlines Show.

I have always loved music and can’t imagine my life without it. I came late to the radio party having spent 32 years as a primary school teacher in the UK and only discovered radio presenting when I retired. I started in hospital radio and then became a Breakfast Show host on my local community radio station. Now I produce radio shows in my home studio which I set up during lockdown. This also allows me to produce audio for various charities for the visually impaired including Talking Newspapers, podcasts and any other audio required

My first love was ’70s rock music — Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie etc and I spent all my Saturday job money on vinyl and concert tickets. I also had a love of folk music. Now I enjoy most genres of music, rock of course, but also Soul, Dance and especially anything with a heavy beat or screaming guitar!

The Retro Hits and Headlines Show looks at a specific month and year through the music in the UK Official Singles Chart and the events that took place. There is also The Quiz which has questions linked to something in the show to get you thinking whilst you are listening.
