By Timmy Byrne – KISS FM Station Manager

A couple of highlights for me during our time at the International Radio Festival were meeting Kiss FM London founder Gordan Mac and meeting Tony Prince one of the original English Channel pirate radio DJs who also started Mix Mag and DMC.

Meeting Gordan Mac was a complete surprise as I knew little about him and didn’t know he was attending the Festival. As soon as I worked it out I struck up a conversation and was delighted by how welcoming and interested he was in Kiss Australia. The remarkable thing was how similar our journeys had been in many ways. Gordon now heads up a digital radio channel in London called Mi-Soul. It’s as the names suggests on a soul tip.

Tony Prince is still at the helm of DMC. DMC’s WORLD DJ CHAMPIONSHIP 30th Anniversary was recently held in Kentish Town London. Check out Tony presenting a documentary about his days on Radio Caroline
