80s legend Pete Waterman joins Virgin Radio 80s Plus as guest presenter over Christmas

Virgin Radio 80s Plus are pleased to welcome legendary Producer and DJ Pete Waterman to the station to present two very special shows over the festive season. 

Pete will be live on Christmas Eve from 6pm to 10pm, and New Years Eve 8pm to Midnight. Both shows will be classic 80s Party Shows, and he may even play some of his brilliant back catalogue of greatest hits. 

Pete started his career as a DJ, and later formed part of top songwriting team Stock Aitken Waterman, who produced hits such as You Spin Me Right Round (Like A Record) by Dead or Alive and Rick Astley’s Never Gonna Give You Up. Pete later started up his own label, Pete Waterman Limited in 1997. The label became the home for many iconic artists, including Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan. 

Pete Waterman said: “I’m so excited to join the Virgin Radio 80s Plus team over the festive season. I’ve got some fantastic 80s tunes lined up, and look forward to entertaining the nation at the most wonderful time of the year!” 

Mike Cass, Content Director, Virgin Radio UK, comments: “We’re so pleased to have music legend Pete join us over the Christmas period. Fans will be treated to a true 80s party on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. What more could our listeners want!”
