Clyde snap up Jim
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 12 May 2010
Glasgow-based FM station Clyde 1 have signed up the marvellous Jim Gellatly to present a new Saturday afternoon show while their Winter-time football-based programme is off the air. Called ‘Jim Gellatly’s A To Z Of Rock & Pop’, it will play a wide range of music and feature lots of reminiscing by Jim of the artists featured.
Probably best known as Mr New Music on Xfm Scotland, when there was such a thing, Jim has been found on BBC Radio Scotland and, more recently, Aberdeen’s Original 106 since X went off air North of the border. The new Clyde show won’t follow the usual breaking new bands format, but should be a great listen, taking in all sorts of classic pop old and new.
Jim told CMU: “I may have a reputation for breaking new music, but I’ve got wide tastes that I think reflect Clyde 1’s audience, and I can’t wait to come on board. I was the first person in the world to play acts like Biffy Clyro, Amy Macdonald and The Fratellis, but I’ve a passion for classic pop music, old or new. I’m really excited about sharing my love for the music, and it’s a real thrill to be part of such a strong line-up at Clyde 1”.
Radio Clyde’s Programme Director, Paul Saunders, added: “I am delighted that Jim is joining the Clyde 1 team. Jim has a huge passion for all genres of music and will create a unique show on a Saturday afternoon during the summer months”.
