The founder of the influential Street Sounds compilation label of the 1980s introduced underground hip-hop and house to schools, suburbs and small towns across Europe. So why haven’t you heard of him?
Former Time 107.5 presenter John Leech is joining Essex DAB station Street Sounds Radio.
John will host a brand-new series of his Essex evening soul shows from 7pm on Tuesday May 18th, in addition to his programme on BBC Essex.
He says: “After 35 years of playing soul music on the radio, it’s a real honour to be coming home to a soul station with the heritage of the Street Sounds Brand!
“Being on the radio, sharing my music and talking to my audience is still something I love so much, and my shows are synonymous in Essex in the evening, where I believe it’s always belonged.”
