Flashback Newquay with Chris Blount

He was the first voice on BBC Cornwall in 1983 and before that presented Morning Sou’West, the BBC breakfast programme. He began his broadcasting career in the 1950s when he produced programmes and played loud rock and roll music from the open window of his attic in Newquay’s Bay View Terrace (on his own short distance radio station!) Chris is thrilled to be joining the Radio Newquay team: “I look forward to promoting the best of our wonderful town through its airwaves and to sharing some of the archived voices and memories I have had the privilege to record over many years.”
