ABOUT
IAN WILSON
Ian or Wilson as he is also known has been passionate about radio from an early age. A mobile disco operator and a night club DJ back in the seventies and also a presenter on Hospital radio, music, DJing and audio/visual kit have always been a large part of his life both personally and professionally. After being introduced to Steely Dan and Bang & Olufsen at school, Ian has travelled the world to catch Donald Fagen and his band and has spent far too much money on B&O gear! More recently, Ian was part of the launch team for a new FM Radio Station broadcasting from North Wiltshire and has set up a number of Internet based stations over the last few years. To celebrate his 60th birthday, Ian presented a live, non-stop radio show for 60 hours and raised well over £2000 for Dorothy House Hospice Care. You'll find 'Wilson on the Wireless' every Sunday between 10am and 1pm presenting 'The Sunday Brunch Party' and you may even hear a Dan track hidden in the playlist somewhere!
Meet The Team!
ABOUT
BAZ AND CHRISSIE
Barry's passing means the end of The Lasting Memories Show, but it will be remembered forever, here is how it all began...
We ran a Mobile Disco back in the mid-seventies and we were well known for our coffin speakers, made from real coffins bought from a defunct rock band. Sadly a car crash finished those off! Sometime after that mum went into a care home and when we visited her we couldn't really understand how the residents really enjoyed their time during the days and evenings. So we decided to write to all the care homes in our area offering a “Music and Memories” entertainment service and had 11 bookings straight away so then had to rush out and buy some equipment as we had lost it all in the car accident. We started off with a twin CD player and Chrissie was in charge of finding the songs that people had requested. When technology took over we bought a laptop computer, converted our music library and the rest is history as they say. Without advertising we got bookings for all sorts of party's and still have our regulars today. During the Covid Lockdown, we started entertaining the neighbours from our driveway back in March 2020 and as they all had to stay in their gardens social distancing it became a regular feature every Friday throughout the summer to cheer up our friends and that's when we were offered a regular radio show at Bradenstoke Radio.

ABOUT ADAM LUCAS
Adam has previous experience in radio being a co-host
on Chippenham Hospital Radio 18 years ago but has now found his feet here at Bradenstoke Radio.
Like the music he plays, Adam is very much a fan of all
things retro, when he isn't on the radio he's listening to his personal record collection. You can catch him live every
Wednesday from 7pm.
ABOUT MIKE "FRAZ" FRASER
Mike hails from North East Scotland but has spent most of the the last 30 years living in North Wiltshire, firstly in Malmesbury and more recently in Upper Seagry.
Mike is retired now but spends his time with wife Chris and Sprocker Spaniel Bella enjoying all the benefits of living in such a beautiful part of the UK.
Mike’s two other loves are Sports and Music. He enjoys most sports but lists Rugby Union as his favorite along with Football and Golf. For his sins he’s a fan of Aberdeen FC but they are a shadow of their glory years winning European trophies under Alex Ferguson 40 years ago.
Mike has worked on radio before as Rugby Correspondent for Dubai Radio where he had a regular Sunday evening slot. He is a staunch supporter of the Scotland national team and more locally he follows Bath having been a season ticket holder there for many years. He is looking forward to chatting with listeners on his weekly show about what’s in the news sports-wise at the moment.
Mike’s love of music stretches back to the 70’s. He loves Pop, Rock, Country and Classical music and he aims to play something for just about everyone including some forgotten oldies from the 70’s and 80’s.
So please join Mike for Sports and Music on a Tuesday
from 7pm!
