Gary Jackson

Gary started his DJ career from the dizzy heights of Westbourne Village Hall, near Emsworth back in the days when half a dozen singles from Saturday Night Fever were guaranteed to fill the dance floor. Hospital radio beckoned in the early 1990s before community radio tempted him out of retirement.

Dark Side Of The Moon, Mondays from 10-midnight includes music from classic and progessive rock acts - previously hardly ever heard anywhere on radio yet they sold by the million - some of which can now interestingly be heard on other local stations! 

My Generation - the 60s show, Fridays 8-10pm is the sixties session which not only attracts local listeners but pulls them in from all over the world! Gary also has the unique feature called the Unofficial Skyline Sweep - guess how far in to the programme it all goes pear-shaped! The picture shows one of these not too rare occasions actually happening!

When he's not convincing professional presenters that their jobs are safe, Gary writes a monthly sixties music column for the Hampshire Chronicle, and publishes the official websites of The Searchers, Troggs and Swinging Blue Jeans
