Some of the people you can hear on RFL

Adrian Cooke - Has a smooth ILR type voice and mainly plays eighties AOR. He can be heard on most bank holidays.

Allan Marsh - The Ozzy on the station. Originally from Melbourne, he first became interested in free radio in 1967 at a very tender age, and then proper in the RNI days. Allan followed the offshore and land based scene very closely throughout the 70s. First involved with Southern Radio, which later became South East Sound in 1981-85.  Also some 'back-room' involvement with Radio Kristel (SW 1981-86) and presented on Kristel AM in 1992 (which was their last TX, ironically).  Involved with Radio Jackie from 1983 to 85 in various roles and never forgets staring into the back of Mr Gotts' car from his motorbike, when he had nicked the Jackie MW transmitter just before the end of the final broadcast !  Also presented some programmes on Irish pirate radio in the mid 80s. Joined RFL team in Nov 1999.
Music wise, he likes all sorts, but particularly like rock from all eras, punk, and good oldies from the 60s to 80s. Not keen on most of the crap in the charts these days, with some surprising exceptions. Just listen to his monthly shows and find out !

Andy Walker - is the shock jock of RFL and is not afraid to say what he thinks - you just try and stop him! Always a great listen with lots of interesting things to say and usually playing a mix of 80% oldies and the rest contempory AOR. If you like a good shout up with a wide mix of good music then this is the show to listen to. Dave Small - Started his radio carear with Radio Pioneer and then onto the famous Radio Jackie. Although I do remember speaking to him as Radio Sutch on MW (227Metres) in about 1975 (Mike Burnett). After Radio Jackie Dave went onto other stations like South East Sound, County Radio (his own station), and Sovereign - the smooth oldies station from Twickenham. Has worked for various ILR stations and is now with RFL. He plays mostly 60s/70s oldies and has a soft spot for radio nostalgia.

Eric May - The disco kid and heading for the stars (or so he hopes). Lots of good music and amusing comments professionally presented.

 


Jodie - Originally from Radio Fax, is the heavy rock sound of RFL and can be heard on bank holidays. If you like FULL-ON metal this is the show for you.

Kenny Myers is Mr RFL himself - Myers was central to the 1978 RFL and like many of the people from the VHF days of Radio Free London has a pathological dislike for any kind of disco or funk music. Kenny Myers has always been responsible for building technical equipment. Myers loves his music and is not adversed to playing the whole side of a concept album. Join Kenny Myers for a selection of great 1970's rock music with minimal chat.

Mike Burnett - Can be heard once a month (lazy sod) and most bank holidays on Radio Free London. He sounds like he is off his face most of the time, but comes across as a friendly sort of guy with an acid edge. Just about everything on his show is tongue in cheek and intended to amuse. Mike was involved with the 1978 days of RFL on 92FM and like all of the old staff loves rock music and hates disco. He has accumulated a vast library of Adult Orientated Rock (AOR) and likes to get involved with the music, keeping the chat to a minimum. 

the_greaser- RFL's biker - He says of himself .... Yo! I'm the Greaser. for those that are interested, I like rave, hip-hop and trance dance music. I recently cut off my dreadlocks when I bought a motor bike. I have been in to radio for many years (though I can now get them out of a dashboard within 30 seconds). I like history programmes, quiz shows and the lottery programme but draw the line at Eastenders and Ainsley Harriot. I eat meat and spam but hate vegetables (Ainsley Harriot).

Tony Randall - Tony could be heard in 1975 on Sun radio along with Kenny Myers and Mike Burnett. He hasn't been heard on the air for about 20 years but now hosts a weekly programme on RFL. Coming from the homo promo dept his show is the biggest 'camp up' show you will ever hear on radio and its not to all (or most) tastes. Tony presents a really professional show, but the moral standards drop below sewer level when his side kick joins in. Be prepared for an outrageous queer time if thats your bent!.
