What’s it gonna take to tickle your fancy on Thursday’s show? We’ve got John McCoy joining us for starters! #ClassicRock

Hello mutants!

If you’ve been otherwise indisposed – perhaps you’re still drowning your sorrows after the Ashes whitewash – you may not have picked up on the news that John McCoy will be my studio guest this Thursday at 7pm. John is a bass player, record producer and former member of bands such as Gillan, Zzebra, Samson, Atomic Rooster, GMT and Mammoth to name but a few.

Three hours (it’ll quite probably end up being more!) of some rather splendid music will be played, of which some will be chosen by the man himself.

But it doesn’t end there; we’re opening the ‘Request-line’ again and if you’d like to be in with a chance of having something you’d like played on the radio, then there are a couple of ways of letting us know:

  1. Add a comment to this post
  2. Tweet your request @classicrockshow

The ‘Request-line’ will be open until 10pm (GMT) Monday, January 27.

Don’t forget also that we will be holding The Classic Rock Show ‘Roll Call’ during the show at 9pm (GMT). It’s your opportunity to say hello to John & I and we give you a shout-out in return. That’s as complicated as the show gets. Nothin’ fancy, just great music and a lorra, lorra laffs!

Looking forward to your company this Thursday at 7pm. Facebook event link here.

We’re both raring to go. Here’s what John has to say about it.

Cheers!

This week’s ‘Request-line’ is now OPEN!! #classicrock

Hello rockers!

The quality of requests received lately is just fantastic…just keep ’em coming, as it’s now time we opened up this week’s ‘Request-line’!

Either tweet them @ClassicRockShow, post them up on our Facebook Group pinned ‘Request-line’ post or reply to this post directly on our website. Whichever way you want to do it, we just love to hear what you’d like played.

Here we have last Thursday’s playlist for you to peruse.

The Classic Rock Show playlist 16th January 2014

Plenty of variety and great selections from the listener ‘Request-line’, covering five decades of rock in all. Now that can’t be bad!

We also included some new music from the likes of Sandi Thom, Toby Jepson, Skindred and The Brew. You get the feeling that the future of rock music is secured for decades to come when you hear what’s being produced these days.

We’re back with another show on Thursday, 23rd January at 7pm.

So get busy and send those requests in for this week!!

Cheers

This is how we did it last week! The Classic Rock Show’s Jan 9 playlist

Good afternoon everyone!

As you can see, last week’s show was made up from old-school ’70s classics and music that brought you right up to the present day…even tracks from forthcoming releases. All in all, it made for another musically varied evening. Tracks that I had originally planned to play but simply couldn’t squeeze in, will be played out on this week’s show.

I’d like to thank you all again for listening in and contributing comments and your memories of gigs/albums etc from the bands we played. The three hours just flew by!

As some of you are aware already, we have opened up this week’s ‘Request-line’. This will close at 10pm [GMT] on Tuesday 14th January. I’m liking what I’m seeing asked for already. You can add your request by either tweeting @classicrockshow or by visiting one of the Facebook links which you’ll find listed below.

Cheers!

NEWS: On tonight’s Classic Rock Show from 7pm…

I’m very much looking forward to tonight’s show as it’s been a couple of weeks since I last sat in the studio.

I mentioned yesterday that we would be playing some new music for you. In addition this, we have music released in the past 12 months from the New Generation Superstars, Fighting Wolves, Black Star Riders, W.E.T. and the Von Hertzen Brothers.

Of course, this show isn’t called ‘The Classic Rock Show’ for nothing. We’ve lined up some prime cuts by Led Zeppelin, Judas Priest, Aerosmith, Diamond Head, Metallica, Sepultura, Van Halen, Joan Jett, UFO, Rainbow, Y&T, Scorpions and….well, a lot more besides.

In our second post yesterday, we announced that Mr John McCoy would be joining me in the studio on Thursday, 30th January. More on that during tonight’s show, but we will play a track from one of those powerhouse trios he has worked with, Mammoth.

Make sure you catch the start of the show at 7pm [Listen Link’ can be found on our website] as it’ll be one of those nose-to-tail, good-time rock ‘n’ roll shows we like to give you every week!!

Cheers

MJx

Mr John McCoy [ex #Gillan #Mammoth #GMT #Samson] is ‘The Classic Rock Show’ studio guest on 30th January

On Thursday 30th January, I’ll be joined in the studio by Mr John McCoy [ex Zzebra, Samson, Gillan, GMT, Mammoth].

John has been a regular contributor to the show; indeed, last year we got together to chat about his music career. You can still catch the two-part interview via our Mixcloud stream (see link below), so it’s a real treat for me to welcome him to the studio.

Amongst the usual mayhem that has become the norm over the past four years on a Thursday night, John’s tales of rock ‘n’ roll’s jolly japes will be interspersed with a healthy scattering of some choice of tunes which he has chosen to share with you.

Share this event on your Facebook Timeline and invite all fellow rockers along for this rather special show, more details of which will be announced soon.

In the meantime, make this a date in your diary that’s not to be missed….as it’s a date not to be missed!!

Thursday, 30th January at 7pm GMT…no pun intended ;-)’

Cheers!
