Gary Crowley's love of music was fired in the late 70's by
a passion for the Beatles and all things punk rock.
Whilst at school he started a punk fanzine, inspiringly
titled "The Modern World", and got to interview
heroes like the Sex Pistols, the Clash and the Jam. Upon leaving
school he became an office boy for Decca records (probably
the least Punk record label imaginable in the Western world
at the time!) before taking over the telephone receptionist
job from a departing Danny Baker at the NME.

From there he joined the UK's most happening independent
plugging company, and through them began a stint on London's
Capital Radio (radio¹s youngest DJ at the time, clocking
in at a tender 19!), from then on the world was his oyster
(or so he was told) with many TV stints including Thames TV's
White Light, Channel 4's Earsay and Carlton's The Beat as
well as doing time with radio stations like GLR, XFM and now
the BBC station for the capital; BBC London 94.9FM where he
can be heard on Saturday evenings from 6pm - 8pm. Gary also
broadcasts 2 weekend shows for Classic Gold Digital.
A highly-respected music fanatic, Gary has access to the
biggest names in music, and over the years has interviewed
Oasis, Paul Weller, Paul McCartney, Robert Plant, Supergrass,
Radiohead, the Manic Street Preachers, The Sex Pistols, The
Clash...the list is endless!
A long-time, highly-respected champion of new music, the
blood nutted bopper has given many new bands and artist their
first taste of radio exposure and currently boasts a Woody
Allen video collection second to none.
