Welcome

This is the all new Brian Jones Radio City Tribute Website. There's lots of new memorabilia, some never seen nor heard in a very long time, for example the horoscopes bed including the Linda Lewis jingle, as well as all of the previous material. This is a completely revised website, with better navigation and a much improved server.

If you have any memorabilia and would like it to be included please contact me HERE. So please enjoy.

This is a tribute website dedicated to Radio City in Liverpool. It contains audio and images which have been collected between the years 1974 through to the mid eighties.

Saturday 24th November 2012: We are shocked and deeply saddened today to learn of the sudden death of Chris Jones. Chris was a giant of the radio industry. Working, initially, as an engineer at Radio City, he went on to become one of their most popular presenters, and is still remembered today, especially for his time on the late night 'Downtown' show.

When Chris left Radio City to join rival BBC Radio Merseyside, Billy Butler went in the reverse direction joining Radio City. Billy, famously, joked on air that he had had a call from a Mr Corlett wanting to swap hundreds of photos of Billy Butler for some of Chris Jones. (Roy Corlett was Radio Merseyside's Programme Organiser!)

During his time at Radio Merseyside, Chris was recruited by Radio One to present their Saturday evening show live from Manchester. The head of Radio One asked Chris how he thought Radio One could improve their audience in the North West. Chris replied "Put me on more often"!

In 1980, after many years at Radio Merseyside, Roy Corlett offered Chris the chance to join the launch team for the new BBC Radio Lincolnshire. Chris went, and stayed there for 19 years.

More recently Chris had freelanced for Real Radio and Smooth Radio, and was working as a media trainer and radio consultant. Chris is survived by his sons Penri and Huw.

My holy grail jingle has been realised, many thanks to Tim Brady who has supplied me with a copy of the Barbara Dickson City jingle based on her single Answer me, Tim has also given me a Scully promo. Tim has worked for Rock FM, Magic 999, Magic 1548 and is now the Senior Tutor at The National Broadcasting School. Right onto my next holy grail jingle, does anyone have the Sherbet-Howzat City jingle, I've never heard it but I do believe of its existence.
