Perry Chotai

Join Perry on Wednesday from 3.00pm to 5.00pm.

For 2 hours of music and interviews on Ridge Radio

 

My name is Pramod Chotai (AKS Perry Chotai). I started broadcasting live on Ridge Radio from August 2023. My interest in Radio broadcasting goes back to 1978. I started broadcasting when I was at University on BBC Radio Leicester, then joined BBC radio Leicester as a station assistant, and continued to gain broadcasting experience at various hospital radio stations. In the 80’s when radio licensing authorities were issuing monthly licenses to broadcasters, I worked and helped establish Bollywood music stations in East London, Crystal Palace and Croydon. Between 1992 and 2011, I worked in Switzerland for Pharmaceutical Companies.

 

My musical interests include Jazz, funk, Motown, and Bollywood music. Currently I present Jazz, funk and Motown music between 3.00 pm and 5.00 pm on every Wednesday on Ridge Radio. However, my plan is to have a Bollywood slot. This would be the first station to broadcast Bollywood music officially on a station south of the river Thames. I am looking forward to that.

Mitch Clark

The Three of a Kind Show, Sunday 8:00pm to 10:00pm

I am Mitch Clark aka MCMC!
I will be deejaying the TOAK show on my regular Sunday night slot. The format is a string of three songs from my favourite genres. They will be linked in any way possible via segue connections, the artist or song title, or even just part of a word will be the connection. Listeners will be asked to contact me with their guesses of the theme, or the songs being played.
I’m sure it will be a lot of fun for everyone involved!

This photo of me approximately eight years ago, shows not only am I a keen golfer, but I am also a happy soul who laughs a lot!
Music makes me very happy. From most music genres, but mainly guitar-based rock!
I was born in South London and lived my formative years in Thornton Heath. I spent most of my school years and twenties living in East Grinstead.

After obtaining an honours degree in Accounting & Finance at Manchester Polytechnic, as a mature student (in the crazy Madchester Years!), and after various jobs, I now have a tax and accountancy practice in Haywards Heath, where I lived for twenty years.
In 2019 I moved to Caterham and back to the edge of South London where I lived my formative years. Recently I moved even closer to the Ridge Radio studio.
Being a DJ for Ridge has fulfilled my ambition of returning to radio after my stint at Queen Victoria Hospital Radio thirty years ago!
So tune in every Sunday evening to have fun with the radio instead of the television!
Relive some of your memories these songs will recall for you. Sing and dance around the lounge and kitchen!
This show is about having a fun finale to the weekend!
Happy Listening!

 

On 12th March 2023 Mitch joined Paul Newton for a 24 hour Comic Relief Event, presenting from 9:00pm on Sunday until 9:00pm on Monday evening.

Several of our DJ’s joined them throughout the 24 hour period, which included interviews and guest appearances.

We would like to thank all who took part and to everyone who donated so generously.

They raised over £1300.00 for Comic Relief.
