In the first episode of three podcasts from Bayside Radio, Dilwyn Roberts and Huw Roberts recall the golden days of Music in the Bay with a nostalgic look back at the music and entertainment we enjoyed in the 60s, 70s and 80s.
Hear stories from entertainer Stuart Loughland who recalls his days in a rock band performing on the Pier and frying chips for Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson. There's memories of Motorhead's Lemmy dressing up for breakfast and then calling in to buy his records at the much-loved Emyr and Elwyn Record shop on Rhiw Road.
Colin, punk rocker and resident of the Bay remembers the punk era in Colwyn Bay and tells the story of how Carys Matthew's band Catatonia came to be.
Plus, local musician Bryn Chamberlain talks about his close call with national stardom and how the untimely death of a legendary London record producer put a stop to his plans.
Enjoy these stories and many, many more in the first part of Music in the Bay, a podcast project supported by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and the Creu Conwy Town Team.
