Solid Gold Gem
Read full descriptionHide full description
Created by a group of professional radio DJs who have worked in radio from the 1970s onwards, we got together in 2012 and recreated a classic ‘oldies’ station. Solid Gold GEM, based on the East Midlands station GEM-AM. The station still plays the older tunes from the 50s, but also a few more 80s and New Gold too.
