Timmy Mallett
Piccadilly Radio
1984

Timmy says: "A piece of Pop history from the golden age of music - May 1984. A joyous hour of Timmy on the Tranny on Piccadilly Radio one Thursday night......
This is the the evening when Helen Terry from Culture Club came up to Manchester to launch her solo single.
At the end of the hour Paul Morley of ZTT records is on the phone to talk about the controversial Frankie Goes to Hollywood hit - Two Tribes.
This is all on the same day Wham went to Number 1 with Wake Me Up Before You Go Go and George Michael is a surprise guest on Timmy on the Tranny (search the show in my Timmy on the Tranny radio archive). I just happened to record their visits and decades later found the tape in my loft.

It's a piece of radio history that's been languishing among the rafters for decades. Stephanie Hirst kindly digitised the work and now I'm happy to release it with the story of the day.

Share the news and the show. Enjoy a piece of unique pop history"
