Written in a fun, light-hearted, anecdotal, and self-deprecating style, the ‘For the Record’ book takes the reader back in time to the characters, music and significant events in Greater Manchester, the UK and across the world between 1974 and 1987.

At the same time, it discovered and nurtured local personalities who had never worked in radio before such as Susie Mathis, Phil Wood, Dave Ward, Mike Shaft, James Stannage, Mike Sweeney, Becky Want and Stu Allen. They all became a huge part of listeners' daily lives.

Piccadilly Radio launched the careers of national personalities such as Chris Evans, Timmy Mallett, Gary Davis, Mark Radcliffe, Andy Crane, Steve Penk and Andy Peebles, plus a host of journalists, TV and film producers, businessmen and women and entrepreneurs.

Manchester’s iconic Piccadilly Radio was founded in 1974 and was listened to and loved by millions of people across the Northwest. Pioneering and fearless, the radio station was a trailblazer for independent regional broadcasting.
