Helen Kate Shapiro is a British pop and jazz singer and actress.  While still a teenager in the early 1960s,  she was one of Britain's most successful female singers. With a voice described by AllMusic as possessing "the maturity and sensibilities of someone far beyond their teen years", Helen Shapiro recorded two 1961 UK chart toppers, "You Don't Know" and "Walkin' Back to Happiness", when she was just fourteen years old.  It was a real pleasure to talk with Helen about her Gospel Outreach. Helen gave us a great insight to her early days and a priviliged insight to her beliefs. It is always so interesting to see how famous people find their faith and Helen was open and honest in what she developingafter such a great career in music

Len Barry had those great hits 1-2-3 and Like a Baby and he joined Vince on the line from his home on 1st September 2008 .OCI radio didn't have a budget for these activities so I looked for artistes whose work I had enjoyed and worked hard to set up the interviews. Len Barry had some very important things to tell us about prejudice and racism in this podcast.

A sad Farewell to the Enigmatic Don Woods who was laid to rest on his beloved Wirral Peninsular last Friday 11th November 2022.   Don had always been very fit and healthy until fate struck his lungs a fateful blow about 8 weeks ago. I phoned Don early one Monday morning as was our arrangement. We loved to sit and chew the fat over the airwaves then remember an aspect of Don's songwriting. Don was struggling for breath for a few weeks before he suddenly went into hospital and here I am writing our blog after his death and subsequent funeral. As his illness progressed it became obvious that Don was feeling the loss of his wife Cynthia very deeply. It had only been a few weeks before all this happened that I had produced a podcast with Don recounting various aspects of his life and remembering how we had first met in the early days of BBC Radio at Radio Merseyside. I am still finding this a little overwhelming and the podcast will allow Don to tell you about his life and our friendship.  He was talented, successful, versatile, enigmatic and fun to be around. Thanks for the memories Don and thanks for your valued friendship. You will be missed by many people who admired your love of music, your love of Wirral and your love of Wales. Our thoughts and prayers are with Don, Don's son, Steve, and all his family and friends. RIP Vince and Anne in Spain xx

Emile Ford was first and foremost a sound scientist and secondly he was a Number One hit-maker. He lived his life trying to create the best sound in the world and he had been involved with some of the biggest names in the business. I first met Emile in Cornwall around 1990 and he became a personal friend. Vince met up with Emile Ford on Wednesday 8th July 2009 when Emile explained that he had been creating his wonderful sound for such great stars as Michael Jackson, Abba, Bruce Sprinsteen, Dionne Warwick, Aretha Franklin and the artistes who competed in the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest. His destiny has been to create his wonderful sound.  The podcast is an insight into his wonderful life.

Tommy James discussed his long and illustrious career with me. Tommy proved to be a really great story and a fabulous interview experience. It is clear to see that Tommy has been a visionary within the music industry who was saying things long before they happened.

Is there a connection between the first Electric cars, our current scenario and the UK 1972 miners strike and all the attendant problems in the years in-between? This is a podcast in which we look to see where the dots can be joined.

A great memory for me was meeting the wonderful Brenda Lee over the airwaves from my radio show in Spain.Brenda Lee, is an American singer. Performing rockabilly, pop and country music, she had 47 US chart hits during the 1960s and is ranked fourth in that decade, surpassed only by Elvis Presley, the Beatles and Ray Charles. She is known for her 1960 hit "I'm Sorry", and 1958's "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree", which has become a Christmas standard.At 4 ft 9 inches tall (approximately 145 cm), she received the nickname "Little Miss Dynamite" in 1957, after recording the song "Dynamite" when she was 12, and was one of the earliest pop stars to have a major contemporary international following.
