Alan Robson - aka the Flashing Blade aka The Night Owl. Yeah, he was one of
the DJs that kept me sane during my University tour of duty Up North back
around '88-91 ;-)

By the time I was tuning in we was doing more of the late night talk radio
shows but it was still entertaining and he threw in some solid rock tracks
pretty regularly from the likes of Magnum etc.

I believe he went off and does TV stuff now.
