[Johnny 1989]

Sandy is a record producer. He's doing the parodies album I believe, I don't know what else he's done for the show, but I thought Chris knew him outside of R1 anyway? Or does he produce the jingles or something?

Ah that's probably where I've heard him mentioned before, it may have been for the parody album or when they talked about the new jingles for 2009 back in December 2008

Ah ok, who's Sandy then? I'm sure I've heard that name mentioned before regarding the jingles.

Sandy is a record producer. He's doing the parodies album I believe, I don't know what else he's done for the show, but I thought Chris knew him outside of R1 anyway? Or does he produce the jingles or something?

In his early twenties, Sandy was a presenter and audio producer for stations including Virgin and Capital Radio, and had a massive hand in shaping the sound of Capital during their dominant years of the 1990s. I personally recall hearing him do a couple of shows covering for other DJs on Capital.

I'm assuming that it was during his year(s) at Capital that Chris first met Sandy, Jon Culshaw and Paul Turner (who was widely heard across much of Capital's imaging at the time), and has continued to have strong relationships with all three throughout his time at Radio 1 and even moreso when he moved to breakfast.

But to answer the original question, Sandy Beech is Managing Director of Music4, formally Vibe Music Imaging, who compose and produce all of Chris' jingles, beds and themes, as well as for many other radio and TV stations across the country.

Chris and Sandy are always working together, and long may it continue!

Thansk for that info, especially the bit I bolded, Capital FM was a superb station when he worked for them, shame really that Capital FM is so crap these days (unless someone can prove me wrong & say that Capital FM is a good station again?)

Nope you're right, still crap!

[Johnny 1989]

Oh really? Shame really as back in 1996-1998 I found it very easy to turn on Capital FM at Chris Tarrant in the morning & listen all the way through to David Jensen, Doctor Fox I could give or take back then but I found him more bearable back then. Then at weekends you had Margarita Taylor, Neil Long & of course Chris Moyles (until 1997).

Oh how good Capital FM was back then

How can anyone not know venison is deer meat?????!!!!!!!

Because it's not a commonly consumed meat, and people who don't eat it probably wouldn't know. Similar to someone who doesn't drink wine not knowing the merlot is red wine, or someone who doesn't particularly like mexican food not knowing what a quesadillia is.

[Yudster]

........ someone who doesn't particularly like mexican food not knowing what a quesadillia is.

I hate myself for this, believe me, but - I don't like Mexican food and although I have heard of it I have no idea what a "quesadillia" looks like or what's in it - but I DO know its actually spelled "quesadilla".............

[Zoot]

?

[Yudster]

Mmmm, soft on the inside, crunchy on the outside! Quesadilla!

[foot-loose]

It makes me happy?

[chrysostom]

Cheese and other ingredients are sandwiched between two flour tortillas, and the whole package is grilled on an oiled griddle and flipped so both sides are cooked and the cheese is melted. This version is often cut into wedges to serve.

[Yudster]

There's too much cheese in Mexican food.

[chrysostom]

but it's their largest natural resource.

I refer you to my scientific (not) poll of asking the first 6 people I saw outside Radio 1. 2 out of the 6 knew what it was.

I'm not merely in the minority who doesn't know, from this I'm the majority!

[chrysostom]

Aled, do you (or any other members of the team) have any significant television work coming your way in the near future? (apart from dave's mastermind appearance)

Chris has another series of his pub quiz show coming up doesn't he? Wasn't that what the medical was about?

[chrysostom]

Oh was that what it was for? I got lost in the testicle link and forgot the actual purpose behind it

[foot-loose]

"I got lost in the testicle link".

Brilliant.

Sorry if my question seemed a bit rude.Thanks for taking the trouble to answer

[English Bob]

Aled. I can't remember if I asked this before...but who dictates the Golden Hour song policy? I was wondering if it was management forcing Chris to only play post-1990 songs or something else. I only ask because I think its a shame you dont play older songs in the Golden Hour, just look at the great songs which have come up in the Golden Hour Game on these boards!
