Pat, pictured, said: “Do you remember a time when the internet didn’t exist. People went out and bought singles and albums on cassette from music shops.

Frankie is one special memory because I made Relax my record of the week and it was doing really well then (fellow DJ) Mike Read decided to ban it and I was really frustrated at the time because I couldn’t play it any more. I was a massive fan of Prince, I didn’t know him sadly but I saw him many many times and I used 1999 as the countdown tune every Tuesday when I did the Top 40. It had been released before but was never a hit and as a result of me using it every week they re-released it and it was a hit. I think Prince would have done just fine without me though.

“And Sundays were for tuning in to the Chart Show to hear who was in the Top 40 and who made No.1. It’ll be nice to be transported back to that time, even if it is just for one night.”

The show is at Resorts World Arena on Saturday, December 14. Tickets are priced from £52 to £108.
