The Music Machine presents: "From Soap Star to Pop Star!"

We've seen them on the TV, and we may have heard them on the radio. This week, the Music Machine celebrates the stars of soap operas who have stepped into the recording studio!

We're used to pop stars' careers drying up before they hit the small screen for a life in soap: your Lee Ryans, your Kym Marshes, your Shayne Wards.

But for many, it's the other way around. Sometimes a star will be torn between acting and singing and choose the perfect moment to leave, exchanging scripts
for a microphone.

The Music Machine is Extended for One Week Only!

Hi to all

Due to ill health, Lulu is not able to bring to you Saturday Night Smooth this week, so instead, the Music Machine will be on air for an extra hour this time. Starting at 7 PM UK through to 10, there will be album news, more Golden Years, more games and hopefully your requests. I need your help to fill up the show, so if there’s something I can play for you, do send an email to brian@team-fm.com!

See you Saturday!

Brian Hartgen

The Team-FM Sing-a-long-athon! Starts Thursday 9 AM UK.

In this most difficult of times, during the past two weeks we have been joining with other radio stations in the UK and Europe as they host momentous events to bring people together. This included "Clap for Carers" last Thursday. Now, we do this once again on Thursday starting at 9 A M UK time as it is Sing-a-Long Day!

The Music Machine, the 50's and the Best of British?

Hi everyone

I hope you will be able to join me for my shows on Team-FM this weekend!

The Music Machine, Saturday 7 PM. Plenty of album news this week of new releases from classic artists you know and love. We've got the Looney-Spoons game, Golden Years 1982 and 1973, and we'll be remembering the music from songwriter and producer Andy Hill. He produced and wrote many songs for Bucks Fizz and other artists too.

Sunday Gold, Sunday 10 AM. Particularly focusing upon music of the 50's this week including a top 5 from 1954!

Sunday Gold and Our Time Shows.

Hi everyone and happy Saturday!

Please join me on Sunday morning at 10 AM for Sunday Gold. Whether you are snuggling in bed and reading the papers or preparing the Sunday roast, you can hear some golden oldies from the 50's and 60's. While every week I play songs from each decade to provide a good balance, I take turns to focus on each of them. This week it's the 1950's.

Will There Be a Movie About the Bee Gees?

That's just one of the questions to be answered in this week's Music Machine! As always it happens on Saturday at 7 PM UK time!
I have all the regular features.

Golden Years, taking you back to 1980 and 1972 with movie clips, commercials and the best in music.

The Vinyl Countdown, playing a song from my vinyl record collection. we're going back to the 70's with that one and we'll be asking you not to get your nickers in a twist!
