The Vintage Charts are hosted by a man who loves the art of the classic music countdown.

John Peters is from Middlesex. His first foray into radio came in in 1974 at a closed-circuit radio station for the United Biscuits factories, before moving on to be the first voice on Nottingham’s Radio Trent and, in time, its oldies counterpart. John launched another East Midlands station as he hosted the breakfast show on its Saga Radio station.

John loves cars – and technology, often to be found in his workshop with a soldering iron.
