Throughout this week’s omnibus edition of Tracks of My Years, we’ll embark on Tony Blackburn's 10-song voyage, taking us from the high-seas as a young DJ on the offshore pirate radio stations Radio Caroline and Radio London to launching Radio 1 back in 1967. Tony has gone on to spend the last 7 decades in Radio and TV, demonstrating his love of music, presenting Top of the Pops, the Top 40 charts and many soul shows. He currently presents Sounds of the 60s on Saturday Mornings and his Golden Hour on Sunday nights on Radio 2.

Also, across his varied career, Tony has released albums as a singer, won the first series of β€œI’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here”, and, in this year’s New Year Honours, was awarded an OBE for his services to broadcasting and charity.

As part of Radio 2's celebration of Tony's 60 years in broadcasting, Tony will be appearing alongside fellow DJ Johnnie Walker for a special β€œClash of The Pirates” show - listen on ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Sounds. Across 2 hours, Tony and Johnnie will battle to become 'Captain of The Pirates', going head-to-head selecting the ultimate playlist consisting of some of their favourite ever tracks.
