JO CALDWELL
Friday 8pm
Sunday 5am

Jo ( spelt without the e as there were too many Joe's on spotify and needed to be different ), Has had many years as a musician and has even supported Annie Lennox with the Tourists. He has met up with so many well known faces over the years and even played on stage with some.
During the 1970s, he worked as a DJ in Glasgow for a charity organisation. Now in his twilight years he is still to be found playing live at song clubs around his local area and meeting so many up and coming artists. You can also find his music on spotify etc.
This gave him the idea to give something back by looking for a platform for this. He came across Spectrum On Air and will now be using this station to give something back to the new music artists and listeners.

Music Mix
GUEST PRESENTERS
Various times during the week
Music Mix is what you hear when the studio is empty and everyone has gone home. But don't panic. We wouldn't leave you without some of your favourite mixes and our backroom boys have been careful in selecting only the best sounds for your delicate, refined and sophisticated ears. Some Music Mix one hour sessions are literally that, an eclectic mix of genres, whilst others have been crafted for a single type of music, from such diverse sources as modern jazz to synthetic soundscapes (and introduced by guest presenters! Woooh!).
The title on the Music Mix flash on the homepage will alert you to the type of music playing that hour (and you can checkout the weekly schedule).
It's all here for your entertainment on Spectrum on Air - we really are - the Colour of Radio!
