Chris Currie presents is a local music show featuring music from Liverpool, Wirral and the Merseyside and playing the best in new music, both signed and unsigned, and classics across the years.

About me:

I live, breathe, eat and sleep music. My dad gave me my first record player when I was about four years old and that was that.

I’ve been a DJ since I was a teenager and feel privileged to make a living doing a job I really enjoy. Back in the day I worked for Radio City hosting outdoor events and road shows, but my first taste of radio was with MFM on Wirral, broadcasting out of their studios in The Old School House in Birkenhead. A brief spell at KCR in Prescot followed on. But after that there was a lengthy hiatus from radio work until I asked to get involved with Wirral Radio, initially to help out with the sound editing, but I soon found myself back presenting. I spent 8 years at Wirral Radio where I was lucky enough to offered the chance to create and present my own local music show. Sadly Wirral Radio went into administration and closed down in 2018 and I moved over to IWFM before being invited to bring my Chris Currie presents show over to Mersey Radio in March 2019.

So here I am doing something that I love and hopefully spreading the love for Liverpool, Wirral and Merseyside bands across the airwaves and finding ears eager to listen and support our talented musicians.

The show airs on Mersey Radio every Monday night between 8.00 and 11.00 pm with a show repeat on Tuesday between 3.00 and 6.00pm

Musicians and bands wishing to submit songs/tracks/music for consideration for airplay should send WAV audio files to the show uploader. Tracks must not be explicit in either language or content. Please also include a short biography including the band line-up

Born in 1962 at home in Ellesmere Port, the middle of three children, an older brother and younger sister, Mother still alive, Father passed away 11 years ago. Attended school in Ellesmere Port, getting 8 cses and 1 o level, leaving school at 15 years of age. Started work at 13 or 14 on a market stall selling bedding, towels, curtains etc, went to work for Lewis’ as a trolley boy and ended up in warehouse as a baler. Joined the merchant navy at 16.

Always loved music, the radio was always on in the kitchen at home, started collecting the awful Top Of The Pops albums from about 12 years, these albums generally contained bad cover versions of the current hits ! First single i bought was Get Dancin’ by Disco Tex & The Sexolettes aged 12, first gigs i attended Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel, Genesis post Peter Gabriel and Styx !

Always borrowing albums from friends and neighbours, I’d listen to anything at least once, punk started making noises in 1976 and this music was my epiphany managing to watch most of the most popular bands over the next few years, Buzzcocks, Stiff Little Fingers, Penetration, Ramones, The Jam, The Undertones, 999, The Stranglers, Magazine, The Rezillos, The Clash, missing out on The Sex Pistols, with this came my first contact with Reggae, Bob Marley initially.

Whilst at sea my musical tastes were further broadened, in a reggae style, friends introducing me to Prince Far-I, Big Youth, Culture, then two -tone kicked in with The Specials, The Beat, Madness, The Bodysnatchers etc which lead me to seek out original ska, bluebeat, rock steady and to becoming an avid listener of John Peel. I was also told recently, despite punk and reggae being my bag in them formative years, i was always a soul boy at heart, rude to disagree ! Soul music has always been part of my life in varying degrees. The Blues and Folk concur !

And the icing on the cake was having the pleasure, they were now supreme heroes of mine, of meeting Bob Marley, The Wailers and the I-Threes on the 29/11/79 at Tower Records in San Francisco at the tender age of 17. Boom !

Dismissed from the merchant navy at 18, worked as a barman, banqueting porter, waiter, kitchen porter, production operator, newspaper seller, festival operative, cleaner, security, handyman, project officer with The Keep Britain Tidy Group, Welfare Rights Adviser etc.

I started to deejay with an old school friend under the guise The Soul Vendors, playing wherever we could get a gig usually with a few local bands, building our own sound system, managing to get a few gigs in High Society,The Big Apple and Olivers in Chester, but never really making any money ! Although we were good ! That fizzled out after 6 or 7 years. Then through an acquaintance i’d met in Chester, started live work again as The Affinity Brothers covering Cheshire and Merseyside, ultimately Liverpool, the highlights having a residency in The Hardman Hotel for Club Corinto, part of The Nicaragua Must Survive Campaign, then after disagreements with the organiser we lost that gig.

We continued to play Liverpool sporadically, Macmillans, Baa Bar, The Wonder Bar, Liverpool University, LIPA , but our musical partnership came to an end, the last live deejay set we played was at The Magnet about 12 years ago !

Moved to Liverpool about 22 years ago to commence a student nursing course, living in Walton, moving to Anfield, Norris Green, Kenny, Bootle, Anfield, Toxteth but settled back in Anfield !

Settled with Barbara for 13 years with 3 dogs, 3 cats and a dozen chinchillas, i manage a 10 bed unit in Kirkdale for those presenting with challenging behaviour and acquired brain injury, worked there the past four years, we have two children, Hannah and Shaun, both growing up nicely.

Lucky to be broadcasting for about 3 years, inlatterly having the great pleasure in playing tunes I love to a wider audience and hoping they will also like them, a great feeling, sharing the love of timeless music with others, unbeatable and having them thank you tremendous.

I am Steve Wood aka The Soul Vendor, 51 years of age presenting a show on Mersey Radio on a Tuesday evening between 22.00 hrs – Midnight, it appears to be growing from strength to strength, I play an eclectic mix of tunes with soul at their core incorporating Funk, Soul, Blues, R’n’B, Reggae, 60’s to the present Beat, Rock’n’Roll, Garage and a touch of Jazz, presented live !!

My name is Paul Burke and I'm 44 years old. I fell in love with house music when clubbing in the State on Dale Street in 1995 and bought my first decks soon after. My DJ career then started in 1998 and I was a Main Event resident for Davy T. Then I went on DJ in places like Mosquito bar, Lemon Lounge, was a resident upstairs in the Famous Grafton on Fridays with The JFMC, resident in The Aquarium on Saturdays, done a number of other bars and clubs across Merseyside and even a stint out in Kavos at Buzz Bar. I was runner up in the Decks in the city DJ competition for radio city around 1999 and more recently winner of The Next Big Thing Dj competition on In Demand Radio in 2022. I have my own Promotion called AnthemaniA which is an old skool event we host a few times a year. I'm multi genre and play House, Funky House, Bounce, Old Skool and Tech... also known to dip in to Trance now and again.AnthemaniA has been established since 2017 and is thriving with guest DJ's such as Robbie Edwards, Ebo, Si Austin, Lee Butler and is run by myself and John B

Steve Bishop was a button presser behind the scenes at many commercial and BBC local stations and went on to present his own show on Radio Caroline. Further stints on community radio stations in the South East of England led to him recording and syndicating his own oldies show, with music in the 50s to 80s period, from the comfort of his garden coal bunker, despite the fire risk. You can join him on Falklands Radio for the Old Record Club on Mersey Radio tuesdays 8am uk time wednesday 2am uk time friday 7am uk time

He can often be found on the terraces of Queens Park Rangers football club but wonders why, as they never go and see him when he’s bad. Drinks tea like it’s going out of fashion. A self-confessed luddite, he still uses CD players, record decks and tape machines. Steve’s music taste includes artists such as Electric Light Orchestra, Al Stewart, David Bowie and 1970s Queen. He intends to get away with doing his radio show for as long as possible.

The N.U.A show with Jay Adkins.

A 2 hour journey through the world of unsigned music. From Pop to Punk, Roots to Reggae, Jazz to Funk, Dance to World, Country to Classical – this show has it all.

Hi it’s me Will Meadows, I have been involved with music for many years including playing guitar in bands and session work.

After taking a break from performing I returned to play and found I was loving it as much as i did then.

When i am not playing you will find me listening to some of my favourite artists and plenty of classic rock, blues and good foot tapping guitar tunes anything from ACDC to ZZ Top and most things in between .. which brings me to my radio presenting.

When the opportunity came along to become a presenter on Liver Radio it was like lighting the blue touch paper! something that I wanted to do and to entertain bringing music. humour and my style of presenting to the people of my home town and the world of Mersey Radio.

Ken Michaels’ radio career began in the communications program at the New York Institute of Technology, Old Westbury, Long Island.  From 1981-1983, he hosted programs at the campus station WNYT, including Album Rock on weekdays and Top 40 on weekends.  The program director, noting the many Beatles and solo-songs that Ken played, and his tendency towards wearing Beatles T-shirts, suggested he do a Sunday night Beatles show.   In March 1982, “The All-Request Beatles Show” was launched as a one-hour show beginning at midnight on Sundays.  After a slow response, Ken successfully proposed the idea of moving the show to the 10-11pm hour.  Once that happened, the phone lines lit up like crazy, and the show was soon expanded to take up the full 3-hour shift.   In developing his show, Ken mixed the classic group recordings of the Fab Four with their respective solo music, gave exposure to the newest solo releases, invented many unique games and forms of trivia, and persuaded a local record store into giving him prizes every week.

Ken was simultaneously working as a sales clerk in a prime location of one of the nation’s biggest record store chains. When Ed Ryan was hired there, Ken discovered that he, too, was a huge Beatles  fan. The duo hit it off.  Ed was invited to watch Ken do his Beatles show, and soon became co-host.  The winning combo spent a year together, and during that time built an audience that averaged over 200 requests every Sunday night!!!

After Ed left,  Ken’s now solo version of “The All-Request Beatles Show” was picked up by New Jersey rock station WDHA-FM, and ran on Sunday mornings for ten consecutive years (1983-1993). As a newcomer to New Jersey radio, Ken was amazed at the station’s widespread signal. While its focus was Northern New Jersey, Ken also picked up listeners in the five boroughs, western Long Island, and eastern Pennsylvania.

Experimentation led to the development of the many elements that made Ken’s show unique.  Every episode included creative thematic sets that looked at every aspect of the Beatles’ group and solo music, and ranged from the serious to the silly (songs with Paul on drums, songs with specific words in the title, Beatles’ shortest songs, songs the Beatles wrote while together and released in their solo careers, etc.).   Sets blended group and solo music together, instead of treating the music as two separate catalogues.  Ken featured hits and deep album cuts, along with B-sides, imports, and rarities. A steady diet of news was also included in every show.  Cover versions of Beatle/solo material, side projects, tribute songs, and music from family members served as audio ‘bonuses’, as did original interviews with people from the Beatles’ world as diverse as Ringo Starr, Carl Perkins, Yoko Ono, author Mark Lewisohn, May Pang, Billy J. Kramer, Wings drummer  Steve Holley, and Pete Best.  Ken’s “The All-Request Beatles Show” was not merely a nostalgic look at the Beatles’ careers, but one that addressed them as four of the greatest artists of all time, along with the promise of more great music to come from them.

After his ten years at WDHA, Ken brought his show to Long Island’s oldies station WBZO-FM (B-103) during the height of the Beatles Anthology craze.  This new one-hour variation of the show was a condensed version of the earlier show. When the show came to an end, Ken kept busy as a contributing writer for the Beatle fanzines Good Day Sunshine and Daytrippin’.    With his wife JoAnn as co-author, he wrote articles and reviews, and submitted many interviews for both publications.

In September of 2003, Ken was thrilled to join the exciting new world of satellite radio when his talents were enlisted by two channels on XM Radio.  His Beatles show, newly and appropriately re-christened as “Every Little Thing,” was heard on the all-eclectic music channel ‘Fine Tuning’.  And what channel would better serve the most eclectic musical group of all time?  Ken’s programming freedom was pushed to the max on XM, and he enjoyed including boundary-pushing sets that deftly incorporated pieces like Paul McCartney’s classical works and George’s Indian explorations.  The XM show eliminated contests and giveaways, and Beatle news was now missing, but every show still included at least one of Ken’s unique thematic sets. (Where else could you hear a set that features ukulele or an all “bird songs” themed hour?)  And Beatle News was not far away, since Ken also hosted short features “Beatle News” and “Beatle Breaks” heard throughout the week on their 60’s channel; with one covering everything currently going on in the Beatle world, and the other explaining the history behind a song, album, or aspect of the Beatles’ story through interviews.  Ken was heard on XM until January 2009, when the merger of Sirius-XM brought significant programming changes and staff reductions.  He looks at his years at XM as a tremendous experience, and values the relationships he developed with fellow staffers.

In 2011, Ken hosted a radio special to celebrate the CD remaster for Paul McCartney & Wings’ “Band On The Run,” that aired on 260 stations. This lead to launch the nationally syndicated show “Every Little Thing,” now heard on over 40 radio stations-a mixture of commercial, public, college and internet stations, including www.fab4radio.com.

Ken has also worked behind the scenes as a producer for the ABC Radio Networks/Radio Today, and his contributions could be heard on, among other shows, “Flashback,” “Screen Test,” and “Today In Rock History.”  He is very proud of his work as both programmer and producer for the soft-Adult Contemporary show “Special of the Week” in the mid 90’s. His time at the network also led to Ken producing the only syndicated radio special to coincide with the release of the “John Lennon Anthology” box set in 1998.  And while at ABC, Ken exercised his skills as an interviewer with subjects as diverse and exciting as Glen Campbell, Tommy James, Chicago, Tony Orlando & Dawn, Three Dog Night, Donny Osmond, the Zombies, and Peter & Gordon.

In September 2009, Ken created the new all-talk weekly Beatles podcast “Fab Fourum,”  and in 2012, Ken joined forces with Beatles Examiner’s Steve Marinucci to create “Things We Said Today,” and later expanded the show by adding two new co-hosts Al Sussman (Exec. Editor, Beatlefan) and Allan Kozinn (former NY Times writer, Classical Music; freelance writer Wall Street Journal and others) for a weekly one-hour discussion on anything Beatles-past, present and future (!,) which you can stream on www.podbean.com, YouTube, and iTunes.  Ad one more podcast show to Ken’s arsenal – “Talk More Talk: A Solo-Beatles Videocast,” which launched in 2018, dealing mainly with the 4 Beatles solo-careers-an in depth look at the most successful solo-careers from a previous band, so-hosted with Beatles authors Kit O’Toole (“Songs We Were Singing: Guided Tours Through The Beatles’ Lesser-Known Tracks,”) Ken Womack (“John Lennon 1980: The Last Days Of The Life,”) Tom Hunyady (co-host of Paul McCartney Solo-podcast “2 Legs,”) and Joe Mayo (host of popular You Tube channel “Mean Mr. Mayo.”) The show can be heard on all platforms, including Spotify, iTunes and YouTube.

A near lifelong fan of both Ska & Reggae. From the first time of hearing Gangsters(The Specials) I was hooked. Madness and The Beat soon followed, then The Selecters and The Bodysnatchers.

Now at 50+, my collection of music just had to be shared. I now host a Ska & Reggae Show on my local Community Radio Station, (Barrow In Furness) and The Sound Of Spitfire (Spalding) hoping to inspire a few more people to make these two genres their own obsession. Now on Mersey Radio. Tuesdays 6pm uk time

I consider myself very lucky as when I was a child my Grandparents had a farm and I had an idyllic childhood as Saturdays were spent on the farm talking to the animals and playing on the farm machinery – the health and safety police wouldn’t allow that these days!

Eventually I had to grow up and get a job. 🙁

At eighteen I joined the Fire Service where I made some great friends and, as you can imagine, had some very moving experiences.

Life has taken me many places since then, bringing me into radio at a pretty late stage in my life, however I enjoy it enormously, sharing my love of music with my audience and chatting about anything that comes into my head.

Starting out as an 18yr old doing warm up sets for the 96.7FM Radio City Dj’s in Mr Smiths Warrington, he soon started getting a reputation for being a diverse Dj as he mixed between genres to build up an energy on the dance floor. That quickly saw Mark being asked to do some warm up sets for the cult tv show Hitman And Her with Pete Waterman and Michaela Strachen. Going past the 90’s Dance and Rave scene, Mark fell in love with House music. That passion allowed Mark to grow even more as a Dj and it wasn’t too long before he was doing full House sets for some of the worlds most renowned brands. Over the years Mark has travelled across the UK and Europe playing on gigs alongside the likes of David Morales, Erick Morillo, Chicane, Pete Tong, Tall Paul, Boy George, Judge Jules, Whelan and Di Scala (now Camelphat), Anton Powers, David Dunne, Dave Graeme, Esquire, K Klass, Pianoman, Awesome 3, Dream Frequency, Dancing Divas, and many more… as well as playing sets with some of the worlds best Sax, Percussionists, and Electric Violinists to ever grace the dance music industry. Mark has performed in front of crowds ranging from 50 to 10,000 for club brands and venues such as Cream, Ministry Of Sound, Gatecrasher, Enigma Ibiza (ex Kanya Beach Club), Es Paradis Ibiza, Eden Ibiza (where he performed the closing set of the summer in 2019), Ibiza Rocks (for which he held a residency in 2019), Float Your Boat Ibiza, Beat Herder Festival, Widcombe Festival (where he closed the stage after Basement Jaxx), and the sell out Indian Summer Festival (where Mark’s brand Royal House held their own tent), and Utopia Ibiza Festival where Mark has headlined for the past 2 years (2021 & 2022). Mark has performed at corporate events for Toni & Guy, Adidas, and Selfridges, as well as doing exclusive Wedding, Birthday, Boat, Pool, and event After Parties for celebrity and private clients.

Hi I’m Paul Baker, I am a full time DJ & Presenter.

I have been in the entertainment industry since 1994 when I started my first mobile disco, catering for private functions such as weddings and birthday parties. One year later in 1995 it became my full time job. In 1996, in addition to DJing, I began hosting karaoke shows and quiz nights in popular venues across the south coast of England. I have held many residencies in all three of these fields and am still hosting four quiz nights every week and DJing at some of the UK’s most well-loved clubs and bars every Friday and Saturday night.

I first got the radio bug when I was at school and I used to put two ancient hi-fi systems together and record my own shows on a flat deck tape player (thankfully these tapes no longer exist). Many years later at college in 1991, I worked on a charity station called Radio Cracker and knew this is what I wanted to do however with other things taking off I never really found the opportunity to pursue this until 2010 when a visit to the studios of Skyline Radio in Southampton reignited my enthusiasm for radio. I was a presenter on Skyline Radio between 2011 and 2013. I am currently presenting live shows on Friday mornings (Baker’s Brunch) on 103.9 Voice FM in Southampton. In 2013, I launched my own radio shows, The Retro Years, Power Anthems, Acceptable 80’s and more recently NonStop 90’s. I’m glad to be on Mersey Radio.

Mystery Top 40 With Paul Baker

In every show Paul counts down a Top 40 singles chart from a mystery year and it is down to you to guess what the mystery year is. Unlike other similar shows, you will hear the positions of the entire Top 40 and some of the big movers and new entries between numbers 40 and 11. Then you will hear the entire Top 10 in full and then the mystery year is revealed just before the number 1 song.

Power Anthems With Paul Baker

Not only do we play every single song in the Top 40, we have our Sneaky Peak at 50-41 so you get a taste of what is just outside the Top 40.
