Morning Light

Northern Skies is an eclectic mix from a number of music genres that span many decades but its pretty much indie chilled beats to match the mood of the dark skies above Shetland.  The winter brings almost eternal darkness whilst the summer sees almost daylight.  The music you here whilst the community is asleep is selected based on the time of year and the weather.

As the night becomes day this music mix will guarantee you a good start to the day.

Nothing like the feel of a stiff sea breeze to get you motivated for the day ahead and to tackle the dreaded inbox

The majority of music aired will be from a solo or small group singer-songwriter format, interspersed with the occasional tune from roots, bluegrass and other folk subgenres.  

Winding down the day thats been with some tracks that will get you to the finish line

As the sun disappears beneath the horizon its always a special time with the music specially curated for winter or for summer.

If there was ever music to lose yourself watching the lighthouse beam rotate then this is it

From his remote northern outpost in the Shetland Isles, Tom Morton brings you a personal choice of music ranging from classic pop, rock and soul through cutting edge Scottish indie to jazz and folk. One of Scotland's best-known radio voices, talking within the sound of waves, wind, birds and the occasional flying sheep. Warning: There may be poetry and whisky.

Davie Gardner has carefully crafted a show and his show page will updated shortly.

Clive has been been involved with 60 North Radio for some time now.  Supporting Tom Morton when he was away from Shetland and more recently with his biweekly three-track feature within Tom's Beatcroft Social.  Known locally for Clive's Record Shop up until 2011 his passion for music is still very much evident and we continue to benefit from access to his amazing collection with a show planned every month or so.

Drew started doing a couple of pre-recorded shows for 60 North Radio a couple of years ago and really enjoyed himself.  We are so looking forward to a regular show where we can all learn from his many years of listening to American music.

On The Weekend, is an eclectic mix of adult contemporary music from singers-songwriters with spice tracks of Cajun, Country, Roots Music, Folk, Blues, Rock ‘n’ Roll & Scottish music. Mike Marwick was born in Aberdeen in 1947 but has spent virtually his whole life in Edinburgh as a full time lawyer however he has recently retired. His interest in radio grew during the offshore ‘pirate’ era of the 1960s when radio station studios and transmitters were based on ships three miles or more off the coast to avoid territorial limits and the authorities. Stations like Radio Scotland on 242m and Radio Caroline on 259m inspired him to get involved.

Bill has presented Country music radio shows for the last 40 years in Central Scotland.  He became the very first Country music radio presenter in Scotland when he began a weekly show on Radio Clyde just after the station went on the air on Hogmanay 1973 on 261 metres medium wave. Bill’s musical knowledge not only spans many years but over these years, Bill has interviewed many Country legends including Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Kris Kristofferson, Tammy Wynette, Marty Robbins and Billie Jo Spears. He has won many accolades and awards in this time including the prestigious International Country Music Broadcaster Award from The Country Music Association in Nashville – the home of the genre.
