[Gary Crowley @CrowleyOnAir]

Thank you so much for asking, Luke!
I can talk radio until the cows come home 😊
I've been hooked ever since my dear Auntie Olive gave me a transistor radio just as Capital Radio launched in 1973.
Loved radio then, love it now.

[Luke Davies 📻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🎙 @TheLiveLuke]

A boyhood hero… always loved watching him as a player and his passion as a manager.
Touched so many of our lives.

[Niall Hollywood @hollywood_niall]

@CrowleyOnAir @BBCRadioLondon The Jam were undoubtedly the band of school days. Running down to Carlins in Newry at lunchtime to try and get the picture sleeve of a single on release day. Couldn’t take the risk of waiting until 4pm.

The Bunnymen, Teardrop Explodes, Pogues post 82.

[Roberto Ferdenzi Ⓜ️ 🇮🇹 @RobertoFerdenzi]

@CrowleyOnAir @BBCRadioLondon GC, as for a song that reminds me of school... "Gonna Make You a Star" by @DavidEssexNews. Every time l hear it, it takes me back to a hot, sunny day and a school trip we had in the mid 70s, and it playing on the coach driver's radio, and the whole class singing along to it.

[Alan James @AlanpjamesAlan]

@CrowleyOnAir @BBCRadioLondon Hi Gary, whenever I hear Solsbury Hill, by Peter Gabriel, I'm reminded of attending High School, in the 70s in Adelaide, where a teacher played the record.

[Changingman72 @Changingman72]

@CrowleyOnAir @BBCRadioLondon Hi GC,

Some songs for the throwout:

Smokin’ in the Boys Room - Motley Crue
Hot for Teacher - Van Halen
Don’t Stand So Close to Me - The Police

The soundtracks to John Hughes’ Sixteen Candles, Breakfast Club, and Pretty in Pink always take me back to my school days.

[Florentine @Flo_Pogen]
