Music was my first love, and it will be my last.

About Me

I present a weekly radio show on Moray Firth Radio every Monday from 7PM. It's two hours of the best rock, blues, soul & americana music played by the most talented musicians, some of them local to Scotland or even the Highlands. Lots of the music, however, comes from the States, featuring artists you may not yet be familiar with, but the quality is superb.Check out the show on 1107 AM, Moray Firth Radio on your DAB digital radio, or online at mfr.co.ukThe most recent playlist & show description can be found at www.mfr.co.uk/don Playlists can also be found above, at Don's blogs. Please subscribe to be notified of the latest playlist.
