Five years ago
It was a Saturday, and it was the five days after the launch of Real Radio in Yorkshire, a station I was part of even before it crackled onto the airwaves.
Five weeks of test tranmissions led to the launch that Tuesday, and on the Saturday, I was very excited. This was the day of my first radio show on the new station - the Real Party Night - Saturday from 6pm.
My mate Ian was on before with the sports show, and was kindly plugging my slot. I had my links prepared, my music ready, my nerves on edge, my Red Bull on ice, everything was in place.
Then, at 5:50pm, the Queen Mother died and we all had to go into "obit mode".
Well that ruined that weekend!
