DAVIE
Hi i’m DJ Davie. I present THE ESSENTIAL DANCE SESSION on Thursday nights from 7.30 – 9pm. I compile sets which are a blend of up to the minute and classic dance tracks mixed with current and recent hits from the UK Top 40. My musical influences started with the 80’s electro and new romantic scenes, sampled in many of todays top dance tracks. I pay tribute to these with 80’s and 90’s specials laced with trivia from those decades. Check out my show most Thursdays.

Hi
Unfortunately I am still unable to return just yet. I am really keen to get back on the air as soon as I can and will keep you posted. During my time off I missed a great opportunity, those who have been listening for a while will remember last year I had a visit from my brother Malc, who made a career in broadcasting and now lives in Japan. He joined me in the studio for a Japan special and was a great co host. This year he visited again (fortunately for him he was here during the earthquakes etc) but unfortunately I could not present a show with him due to being ill. He runs his own internet only radio station which has greatly expanded since he was last here. You can check it using the link below. Meantime Andrew our IT genius has managed to pull out some of my previous shows to re visit. So stick with me and I will return soon.
