Fancy your chances at winning #VIP tickets to see #MottTheHoople at London’s O2 Arena?

Hello there Young Dudes!

We’re delighted to be able to bring you news of a competition we’ll be running next week to win a pair of VIP tickets to see Mott The Hoople who are playing London’s O2 Arena on Monday, 18th November.

The band reformed recently and they’re about to set off on a five-dater of the UK. These shows will be the band’s first since they reunited in 2009 – where they celebrated their 40th anniversary – and you can see them conclude this tour at London’s O2.

Stay tuned for more information on this terrific opportunity on our website and via social media.

Cheers

MJx

Feel the #Beard along with @chili_bex Thursday night from 7pm (UK time)

Yes, that day has arrived when Bex – The Queen Of Rock – takes over and delivers what is sure to be a stonking show.

There’s a bit of a theme tonight as it’s Movember, so band members/singers with rockin’ beards/moustaches will play a significant part in the tuneage blasted out of your speakers/headphones. Celebrate all that’s bearded on our Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/theclassicrockshow

Make sure you tune in nice and early via this link – Bex Rocks – from 7pm (UK time).

Cheers

MJx

PS. Bex is gonna joining me along with Dawn Coastal on the 4th Birthday Party show next week. That’ll be a show not to be missed!!

Let’s hear your voice on The Classic Rock Show ‘Birthday Bash’!!

Hello Rockers!!

As you may already be aware, The Classic Rock Show will be celebrating its 4th Birthday on 14th November 2013. Dawn (from The Friday Rock Night on Felixstowe Radio), one of my longest serving listeners, and my broadcast buddy, Bex from ‘Bex Rocks‘ will be joining me at some point during the evening. They’ll be sharing stories and a joke or two along the way, but what I’m really keen to hear is your voice on-air too.

If you have a smartphone, there are free apps available for download that can record your voice. In 10secs or less, tell us why it is you listen to The Classic Rock Show. If you also fancy recording a Birthday message as well, feel free. I’ll edit them up ready for broadcast during the Birthday Bash show.

Send them over to me in mp3 format via a Facebook PM to my personal account, or message via The Classic Rock Show Facebook Page.

Cheers
MJx

#ListenAgain to The #ClassicRock Show ‘Special’ 1974 & 1975

Last Thursday’s show proved to be one of the most popular to date, judging by the feedback received both during and after the show.

The major news stories and charts of those two golden years certainly brought back some memories for you all, right?

If you fancy listening in again, then the whole of this show is available via Mixcloud – click here and be taken to it directly.

Cheers!!
