Freddie Allen here,i came across this site by accident and was pleasantly surprised by the interest. After leaving Hallam i went to Viking in order to have my drive time show broadcast to Viking,Hallam and Penine,from there to Metro in Newcastle for the new Great North Radio. I eventually moved to America where my presentation style was popular giving me 3 number 1 shows in their market that awarded me meaningless awards. I am now 74,fit,healthy and still riding my old Harley. I returned to the UK in 2005,spent 1 year presenting Magic Drive Time.After 1 year i was bored with the direction computerised Radio was going so i headed off to Mountain FM in Vancouver Canada and theรฑ a short spell in Mexico for a new English speaking Radio station on the Yukatan peninsula with the aim of providing shows for Cancun,Cozumel and Playa Del Carmen. I am now happily retired back in the UK living in Kent. I loved my days at Hallam and having the privilege to bring you what was then new and exciting music ie Bon Jovi,Springsteen, Bryan Adams,Heart and many others, for those who may remember it i still have my distinct deep voice and a love of music.
Stay safe in these troubled times. ๐
