Choice FM was due to get its blue plaque today marking its 30th anniversary but due to Covid it’s been postponed. I’m gonna celebrate Choice anyway. We were listeners in my house from when it got its licence. Me and @tahnaiya won a competition singing on there which won us a trip to the studios in Trinity Gardens/above the Red Records and the newly opened drive thru McDs in Old Kent Rd. I also won a box of Haribo when they’d moved to Borough (the beginning of the end). A lot of memories. Daddy Ernie and Reggae. Martin Jay and Soca. 279 with Hip Hop on Fridays. Commander B with Jungle on Saturdays. Dave P with Gospel on Sundays. Jenny Francis in the evenings and Kirk Anthony with the quiet storm. Calvin Francis, George Kay, Jigs, Angie Greaves. Geoff Schumann in the mornings and I know there’s so many more names I’ve forgotten. Massive part of my growing up and massive part of the Black community in London and a massive loss when it went. The blue plaque is deserved. 💙 (you know I’ve still got my tapes 😄😉) #ChoiceFM #BluePlaque #BHM #TrinityGardens #Brixton #SW2 #SW9 #ChoiceFMUK #969FM #107FM #BlackBritain #BlackBritish #DaddyErnie #MartinJay #DJ279 #CommanderB #DaveP #JennyFrancis #KirkAnthony #CalvinFrancis #GeorgeKay #Jigs #GeoffSchumann https://www.instagram.com/p/CGCVJatggyW/?igshid=1mvfb1uttrrqc
