About Me

Hi, I’m Matthew and I host Pure 80's and 90's Hits on Pure Hits Radio. If you love the golden age of pop, rock, dance, and those unforgettable boyband ballads, then you’re going to feel right at home with me.

I grew up during the best decades for music and I’ve been obsessed ever since. From taping songs off the radio to wearing out my cassette collection, the 80s and 90s were the soundtrack to my youth. Now I get to relive all those moments with you, one track at a time.

On my show, expect throwbacks that make you sing at the top of your lungs, songs you forgot you loved, and the stories behind the biggest hits of the era. I also love chatting with listeners about their favourite memories, the posters on their bedroom walls, and the first gigs they ever went to.

Outside the studio, I’m usually hunting for old CDs in second-hand shops, exploring new cities with my camera, or enjoying a quiet pint in a local pub. I believe the best music doesn’t just entertain you. It takes you somewhere. And that’s exactly what I try to do every time I’m on air.

Loves: Retro playlists, city breaks, record fairs, and classic video games

Favourite Food: Chicken tikka masala with garlic naan
