Mike Read, Mancunian by birth and a relative newcomer to Radio 1, takes over the Tony Blackburn spot while Tony is on holiday. There will be some differences, however, for Mike promises 'I won't be doing the corny jokes!'
A true devotee of pop music, he has a vast personal record collection and is co-author with Paul Gambaccini and Tim Rice of The Guinness Book of British Hit Singles.
