Hi everyone

In place of Our Time this week, there's another chance to hear the special programme regarding the group ABBA that was produced a few weeks ago for Team-FM. Hear rare song demos, album tracks and band members talking about their music of the 70's and 80's.

Our Time will return next week. And for those who love the music of the 60's, I have a very, very special show planned for you. You won't want to miss that one.

I hope you enjoy the ABBA special, and I'll see you for Our Time the week after, as our time is always a good time!

Hi everyone

I hope you are able to join me on the wonderful sound of Team-FM this Saturday at 7 PM in the UK, 2 PM US Eastern, for the Music Machine, where I play music spanning the decades.

This week we have all the usual features:

Compilation albums from the past. We are concluding the Chart Action box sets this week. We're working through Chart Action Volume 3, released in 1983, to hear some of the fantastic songs on there. Almost every song in the three box sets is a top tune!

Hi everyone

After last week's ABBA special, it's time to get back to the regular format on this week's Music Machine, Saturday at 7 PM UK time which is 2 PM US Eastern.

As always I've got a lot for you if you would care to tune in.

Compilation Albums of the Past. Do you remember two weeks ago we heard tracks from the excellent box set of LP's released in 1982, Chart Action Volume 2? That went down very well, and guess what, I've found Volumes 1 and 3! So we'll work through Volume 1 this week and Volume 3 next week. They are equally good.

Hi everyone. After a long and busy week, I woke up this morning and thought, It’s All right, the Weekend is here. That means only one thing.

Hi everyone

For many years, the Music Machine has celebrated the work of a group highly popular in the 70's and 80's, ABBA. They became one of the most commercially successful acts in the history of popular music, topping the charts worldwide from 1974 to 1982. ABBA won the Eurovision Song Contest 1974 at The Dome in Brighton, UK, giving Sweden its first triumph in the contest. They are the most successful group to have taken part in the competition. ABBA are estimated to have sold 140 to over 500 million records, making them one of the best-selling music artists of all time.

Today, at 7PM in Ireland and the UK, 2PM Eastern, I’ll close the working week, and celebrate the 2 days of freedom that lie ahead. On Team Fm, the station where great Music Matters, I’ll have 2 hours of feel good tunes and friendly banter to Kick-Start your Weekend.
