Great Show promoting Joe .The Best guy for the Job Craig Newton expert on Joe Meek and great guy .Ex show great music
Great show Jason. Just found it ! Craig is a lovely guy and a mine of information on Joe Meek. As a kid my Dad recorded an album called “Alan Freemans History of Pop” and he used to play it in the car. One track on it was Johnny Remember Me. To me that track stood out from the others, and that track alone led to my love of music. I decided to investigate the background of the song and that led to my interest in Joe Meek. I was a volunteer at our Hospital radio station for 10 years.
