Masters of the Airwaves Book
Masters of the Airwaves is a book about the early stages of urban UK music radio.
It was compiled by original Kiss FM DJs/Broadcasters Lindsay Wesker and Dave VJ, and features a vast array of contributors including Jazzie B OBE, David Rodigan MBE, Trevor Nelson MBE and Norman Jay MBE.
This book is like a musical memoir. It gives a glimpse of the players, innovators, taste-makers and most importantly black music radio fans, who, in the formative years of the industry were crucial to its existence today. – Trevor Nelson Radio 1/1Xtra
Masters Of The Airwaves Panel Discussion: Thursday 7th May, 530-830pm at Birmingham City University Parkside Lecture Theatre
