RichyB is the presenter and driving force behind Richy’s Retro Roadshow, bringing a genuine passion for the music, memories and atmosphere of the 1970s and 1980s to listeners everywhere.

 

Richy came into radio presenting later than most, but, he knows what he likes and more importantly, loves the music he knows.

​

With an enthusiasm for classic music and a love of entertaining, RichyB creates a show that feels like spending time with an old friend who just happens to have an incredible record collection. His style combines warmth, humour, nostalgia and plenty of personality, creating an entertaining experience for both lifelong fans of the era and younger listeners discovering these classic sounds for the first time.

 

​"Like most people growing up in the 60s/70s & 80s, I was surrounded by great music. From the Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Who in the 60s, Glam Rock, Disco, Motown in the 70s through to New Romantic, Electronic of the 80s."

 

​"Music has always been a huge passion of mine, and 70/80’s is the music I grew up with. There were some great bands around in those decades, some of which are still performing today."

 

"I don't believe there is good and bad music ... music is art, and like all art there is some we like and some we don't like. Just because we don't like it doesn't make it bad !"

 

From iconic chart hits and forgotten gems to fascinating stories and memories, RichyB enjoys celebrating the artists and songs that helped define a generation. Whether behind the microphone, choosing the next big tune or creating content for social media, his aim is simple: to keep the music, memories and magic of the 70s and 80s alive.

 

RichyB isn’t just playing the classics - he’s taking you back.
