Leo, who has performed with stars like Van Morrison, Paul Weller and Jerry Lee Lewis, says launching a DIY station is easy.
“I paid for a licence to play the songs and a website, lgradio.online, and that was it,” he says. “I’ve got a laptop, a shed full of music and a microphone. That’s all I need.”
He also has vintage recordings of unique interviews his father Benny, once the Sunday Express radio reviewer, did with stars like Tony Bennett and Paul McCartney.
The idea was born from Lockdown. “Friends asked me to do them playlists,” Leo recalls. “So I did, but then they came back and asked if I could add details like I did on the radio, tell them the stories behind the songs. That was how LG Radio began.
