A lifelong music fan and vinyl collector, Ryan brings his varied musical tastes to the airwaves of Crystal FM. Although in his twenties, don’t expect anything from the recent top 40 on Ryan’s shows. On Wednesday nights, Ryan presents Rave On – a solid two hours of Rock N Roll from the 50’s and early 60’s. On Monday and Thursday mornings, his Hits and Rarities show offers a blend of Country music, big band, singer songwriters, and local artists. As the name of the show suggests, there are some hits, plus an abundance of album tracks, B-Sides and obscurities.

RossMacfadyen

The Folk and Roll Radio Show - Sunday 10pm

Ross Macfadyen has produced radio programming for the past 12 years, but has been a confirmed anorak since he was 16. Ross joined Celtic Music Radio 95FM in 2008 and from 2011 until 2018, he was Music and Programming Director. As a voluntary position, this role included doing a little bit of everything there is to do at a community radio station. Central to the role was curating a music database of over 20,000 tracks and formulating playlists. His own musical tastes are eclectic, ranging from Mozart to Motorhead and all in between. Founded in 2018, The Folk and Roll Radio Show has grown out of the philosophy to play any music, as long as it’s good.

A typical quote about Ross’s shows is “You never know what you’re going to get next” (Aileen, Edinburgh). So, from programme to programme, the sound may be different, with a little bit of Americana, Singer/Songwriter, Traditional and contemp- orary Scottish and Irish, Country, Pop and Rock. But rest assured, there will always be plenty of Folk 'n' Roll!

BionicBoab

Between the Tracks - Tuesday 10pm & Saturday 8pm

Bob has been involved in Radio for decades. Not only as a keen listener but also behind the microphone. He loves the 1960s when British popular music flourished, nurtured by offshore free radio 'pirate' stations - The Beat Fleet! As the 1970s saw a resurgence of radio ships in the North Sea, a more diverse choice of music became available to the listener. Recall the magic when Bob introduces "Between the Tracks", a 60s / 70s mix of music.
