When is Martin Kemp's show on Greatest Hits Radio?
Martin Kemp — singer, actor, 80s pin-up, and Greatest Hits Radio presenter (is there anything this man can’t do?!) — is bringing his unbeatable mix of music and stories to the airwaves every weekend. Fans can get ready for the weekend every Friday from 7pm on The Mix Tape with Martin Kemp, where he plays his hand-picked greatest hits. On Saturdays from 7pm, it’s an 80s extravaganza with The 80s Mixtape with Martin Kemp.
Outside of radio, Martin’s career is legendary. He was the bassist in 80s band Spandau Ballet and enjoyed a successful acting career, including a starring role in EastEnders from 1998 to 2002 as notorious villain Steve Owen. His varied career gives him plenty of material for stories and laughs on air.
On his show, Martin delivers:
"Proper bangers! It’s like the sound of every great Friday night you’ve ever had rolled into one jam-packed playlist. I keep it moving and play loads of songs, get all your shoutouts on the radio, and we have such a laugh.
"I usually tell a few stories from the band, from my time on EastEnders, or what’s been happening to me and my wife Shirlie this week. I’ve been accused of making a few jokes at Duran Duran’s expense, but I don’t remember ever doing that."
He describes the show as:
*"The perfect soundtrack to start your weekend. All the biggest songs of the 70s, 80s and 90s that we grew up listening to on full volume.
"I’ll give you TV recommendations for your weekend, there’s always a slow dance at the end, and I turn the decks over to you to pick your favourite songs. Plus plenty of stories from my career in music, film and TV. We always have a good laugh and the music is absolutely popping."*
Martin adds:
*"It’s the messages that make the show. I throw my personal WhatsApp over to you to fill with messages, shoutouts, questions, voice notes, whatever will make us all laugh on a Friday night.
"Summer is normally full of hot tubbers and winter is all about the home bars. But I love all your messages and most of what I do and laugh about on the show is entirely down to you."*
