That flyer you put up on page 2 of this thread, i see the Jam MC's :D
What ever happened to those guys? i remember hearing they were involved in the Blackburn scene, then after that i saw them down at the Konspiracy.
After a few years i remember going to see them in 94/95..ish at Accrington Town Hall.

Anyone got anymore info on their current activities?

Thats it....bang on m8, i thought that is what i heard on a documentry once, but was not quite sure. Good job Dream FM did not take that possision, because what i remember from the documentry was that Kiss had to start playing a lot of comecial dance music as part of the contract.....would have been a nasty way for a station as good as Dream, to go out in such a sad way

Yeah thats true...Rob tissera told me one of the reasons he finished his show on galaxy was as they were wantin him to play more commercial..

I did Dream FM for a couple of months when it was based in a basement in Headingley, im sure it was Dream FM.:S

We had a mobile phone to accept requests and had to log them in a book.

Thats the one m8, they had a big celler where the studio was run from, was propper lock down security too. The DTI in the early years turned a blind eye to dream, just as they did with power, due to the profesional way it was run....no swearing, propper radio voiced dj's and a cut off point of 12 midnight

I remember when i use to dj on Power FM, the DTI payed us a visit at the studio in 92. We thought we had been busted big time, but all they said was that they understud we run a very profesional station, and how we did a lot of good advertising for local buisinesses...and a lot of charity fun raising event for the local comunity...and that they would leave us a alone. Infact the main reason why they came around in the first place, was because a new radio station, classic FM was starting up, and that we where broadcasting on the same freaquance as they where alocated. They told us to move our signal up the FM wave length, and that as long as we kept it runing in the profesional manner that we have been doing...that that would be the last we would hear from them.

Nice one M Jaxx..

Dream FM was smart, Ive about 30 or so tapes from that Radio Station in the garage from when I used to live over in Leeds.

Somewhere there is 2 X 90 minute tapes of a live Chris & James mix, the lads from the Gardening Club in London

I think I left it recording as well so all the chat should still be on em. One of these days I'll get round to ripping them all:thumbsup:

@ Steve W - get them pictures of Sasha scanned in, we could all do with a laugh

Good question

Around 1995 was around the last time I saw them, they played a club in Birmingham for us.

Maybe asking for advice on a tune soon myself its from the milllenium night radio 1 by someone playing in northern ireland got it on video tape god knows how im going to convert it to digital & post it on here :p

I've still got that on tape somewhere, I can't for the life of me remember the DJ's name but he was live at Port Rush and he played an absolute blinder. I can't seem to find the tracklisting after a search on the web just now (it seems to be the only one missing). The tracklisting that Radio One put out wasn't completely right as it happens though.

The good news is that I've got all the records off the mix bar one. As for the missing one, I've tried to have it id'ed before now to no avail. I should still have the sample on my PC at home with a bit of luck and I'll up it to tuneid.

Nah it wasn't Fergie. I seem to recall he's got a very normal name like Colin Smith. He ended with Thrillseekers followed by the Jam & Spoon mix of Age of Love. I saw him play at Creamfields the same year and he ended with the same records.

Me and my mate took Tony Creft and another bloke back to Blackburn after the Police raided it. They had a industrial style bag with them with the nights takings of about £50,000 - I thought it was a bag of tools when they got in the car! They gave us £50 for our trouble, which I always considered a bit stindgy given the money they had.
