Mike Dean

The speaker on Tuesday 8^th December was club member Mike Dean whose address was ‘The Rock and Roll Years’ and he took the assembly from his start with personal  recordings from the radio, then at school with an embryonic disco, through his experience in promoting gigs at university and broadcasting in St Helena whilst he was working there in a different capacity.

He experienced interesting interactions with the BBC particularly whilst at university and trying to promote bands. During this period he met such pop luminaries as The Sex Pistols (John Lydon aka Johnny Rotten) and the Boom Town Rats (Bob Gerldorf) just before they became famous.
