Who had a top 10 hit in 1997 with 'The James Bond Theme' as featured in the movie Tomorrow Never Dies? Which legendary soul singer was the subject of the 2015 number one hit by Charlie Puth featuring Meghan Trainor? Which group of comedians had a Top 10 hit in 1975 with Black Pudding Bertha (The Queen Of Northern Soul)?
Neil Myners, having studied music to degree and post-grad levels, has, since 1995, produced BBC Radio 2's coverage of Paul McCartney's return to the Cavern, The Brit Awards and the Ivor Novello Awards. He was both music programmer and producer on Richard Allinson's Sony-award winning late night show for the network and has been recognised for his work with Bob Harris and WBBC on the documentaries The Sandy Denny Story and The Day John Met Paul. Ken Bruce was born and raised in Glasgow where he trained and worked as a chartered accountant before he began his broadcasting career in the mid 70’s in hospital radio in Scotland. By 1977, he began working for the BBC as a staff announcer for Radio 4 Scotland, then became one of the original presenters of ‘Nightbeat’. In 1985, Bruce left Radio Scotland to replace Terry Wogan on Radio 2's Breakfast Show, followed by a variety of slots on Radio 2 including the mid-morning slot from 1992 until 2023. It was on this show in 1996 that the daily PopMaster quiz was first introduced with an expected run of just a few months, but its immense popularity has made it an iconic feature of British radio, now still going strong on Ken's mid-morning show on Greatest Hits Radio. PopMaster is a firm fan favourite on radio and has now been turned into a successful TV show broadcast on Channel 4 and More 4.
