This much I know: Broadcaster Marcus Connaughton

I was the school hippy. I grew my hair long and was into debating. I didn’t necessarily follow any of the other dictates of being a hippy.

I always had a love of music, and of radio, but I never thought I’d work in it. There was a real magic to radio when I was growing up.

I was born in 1952 and remember a time before television, trying to seek out rock and roll on stations like Radio Luxembourg. I started going to music festivals when I was only a teenager. My parents were blissfully unaware of what went on.
