Chris Dunn
Born in the United Kingdom 1960, currently resides in Lincoln,by profession I am a Train Driver.I have a passion for Reggae Music, which I guess came to light in the early 70's hearing artists like The Pioneers/ Bob & Marcia /Jimmy Cliff/ Desmond Dekker/ Dave & Ansel Collins appear on the BBC'S flagship music program called Top of The Pops, or radios weekly chart countdown show .I also at the time worked on a factory production line where everyday music was piped through the works tannoy system including Reggae/ Soca / Calypso music. At this time, my elder Jamaican friend, Michael Alphonso Smith,asked if I wanted to join him in a venture doing mobile discos,he had the equipment and I had the transport.But all was not as it seemed as it turned out we only did private Jamaican House Parties,where I learnt how to DJ from a master.
Eventually I started my own mobile disco and gained a residency at my local working mans club in Penge, South London getting the crowds dancing before,during and after live bands who played at the weekends. Late 80's I packed it in and it was not until moving to Lincoln and joining the works Wefare Committee that I provided the music at work related events.
In 2012 I joined my local Community Radio Station and presented a 3 hour live 70's show, In 2018 I switched it to being a Reggae Show.And In 2019 work commitments prevented me presenting the live show and the station did not want a pre recorded show.It was then that a former presenter who like me was no longer required, joined an online radio station and he recommended my show for the vacant position.( i latter found out that the previous presenter was none other than Reggae Icon Tippa Irie. }.Fast Forward To today and Reggae Thru The Decades With Chris Dunn is now available via the internet on 30+ radio stations. Its Weekly broadcasted from stations in America,Australia, Cambodia, Canada, Hawaii ,Holland, New Zealand, South America, Spain and the UK,
