Triggered by an overdose of rock music from childhood. Candy is always searching for new music to feed her Hydeside. She’s always encouraging others to do the same, as she is all about individuality – the outcasts, the misfits, the freaks, etc we are all different in our own way, but I’d rather be my true self than some fake. So, whether you see me with wild red hair or not, I’m still the same person – no matter what I dress in. I have a wicked sense of humour, I’m all for having a laugh and letting my Hydeside out as much as possible.

I’m so pleased to be part of the Voodoo family and can’t wait to show you the voodoo I do. Candy and the Rock factory for my album reviews and interviews. Mizz Hyde’s. Welcome to the Hydeside.

Haaji Ka Halva! She’s a part of Liverpool based percussion group Busk With Us, but is now venturing into her solo music journey. Brought up in between Pakistani and British culture, she mashes the two together to reinvent sounds from her childhood with present electronic music, creating an almighty non-stop boogie.

Sean McGee first found music as a boy when he was bought a cassette recorder for a birthday present.
That recorder enabled him to actually make his own radio shows, introducing the songs and even interviewing himself as various, distinguished guests!
By his early teens, he joined a friend group who spent weekends in sweaty bedrooms, strumming cardboard guitars to the best albums of the day. Iron Maiden, Scorpions or Led Zeppelin were the usual stable “strum fest” of the era.
True halcyon days!
His late teens saw him actually with a real guitar and from those times forward he’s never ever looked back.
As a member of many rock and metal bands, Sean has played some wonderful gigs and has made a huge amount of friends along the way.
These days he’s to be found in cosmopolitan Norwich, recording in his home studio, but life still keeps moving forward and, as is often the way, life tends to repeat itself.
Sean is now hosting a “real” radio show, The MONDAY MODAL MELTDOWN, playing tunes by such musicians as have inspired him to play guitar himself.
In his own words:
“I wanna give something back, make you smile and just get everyone inspired, just like it was when I was a boy”

A long time ago in a Galaxy far far away (Solihull actually) Grant Orino entered existence with a mission to bring New Romantic, Synthpop, glamtastic tunes to the ears of Voodoo Radio’s listeners. In his time, he has worked as a club promoter, an intergalactic space invader, a deadly assassin, and as a customer service rep. In a call centre.
Hold on tight for Scary Monsters and Super Geeks every Tuesday night!
Orino will be spinning tunes and chatting to special guests from 7pm till 9.
Be there or be in Red Square!

DJ for Oh No! Not Garage and Hardcore Punk
Started the show in the first covid lockdown
Has a respectable daytime job (Finance Director), becomes a garage/hardcore punk at night (punk bore)
First love Hair metal (Motley crue, Gamma Ray), moved onto Thrash in the mid 90s, True metal in 2000s and finally punk in the 2010s when i realise three quarters of my CDs (what are they?) were punk influenced metal/rock. Also likes a pint of real ale (sad git).

The Dark Cookie.

Neil “The Dark Cookie” Cook. Rock music is always in my head, it’s in my blood, it is my life. Having always had rock and roll in my ears, it is different today, from my formative metal years of the 80s. From ACDC to Amon Amarth, The Stray Cats to Slayer, Meat Loaf to Motorhead, Whitesnake to The Wildhearts, if it rocks you’ll hear it on my show. OK perhaps not Nickleback…

Hi I’m DJ TC and my name is Tim!
I hail from sunny Liverpool, and I have lived here all my life. I’ve been a musician from a very early age, and my first rock record was ‘Hysteria’ by the mighty Def Leppard. From there I moved onto heavier genres, from Metallica and Megadeth into Death and Carcass, but then the 90’s fully hit me, and Grunge became my go-to genre! From the obvious ‘Big Four’, Alice In Chains are very much my bag with their blend of metal and alternative rock, but I do love so many bands from the 90’s alternative rock scene, that there are too many to mention!
I have been in bands since I was the tender age of 16, have played lead guitar in bands such as Zuprowski Connection, and Rain May Fall, supporting the likes of Testament, Hatebreed and Uli Jon Roth. Now I am an active member of the Groove Rock band Attic Theory, who won Planet Rock’s Best New Band of 2020.
My shows will feature the best of 90’s heavy music, along with some deep cuts and rarities. I’ll also be throwing in some personal favourites from many other eras and genres – so keep listening!
Grunchtime will be on Fridays at midday!

My first memory of liking music is 50 years ago when I was 4. I used to walk round the garden/street where I lived singing Gary Glitter’s ‘Do You Want To Be In My Gang?’ such an infectious song that was (pity he went the way he did later in life….PRIZE TWAT!!). From there it was liking bands such as The Sweet, T-Rex, Terry Jacks, Pilot and Slade along with Come To Chigley soundtrack and We Are The Diddy Men (lol)

I also remember going to my Grandparents and stumbling across an old 50’s record player, that used to belong to my Mother, and finding a stack of 7 inch singles next to it. I worked out how this contraption worked and enjoyed such sounds as Cathy’s Clown by the Everly Brothers, Distant Drums by Jim Reeves and a whole host of Cliff Richard songs.

By the age of 8 in 1976 I had found ABBA, ELO, Status Quo which was ‘music to my ears’. I Had a dalliance with such things as Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick and Frigging In The Rigging a couple of years later but I decided that Hard Rock and then Heavy Metal courtesy of Motorhead via Bomber and Overkill then Ace of Spades albums was my ‘thing’.

1979 going into 1980 was such a fantastic period to find new heavy music. Such bands as Saxon, Rainbow, Sammy Hagar, Scorpions, Van Halen, Whitesnake, AC/DC and UFO etc all came to my attention, buying as many singles as I could from the local Doncaster market stalls, Angie’s Records shop and Fox’s Records with my pocket money. Then getting a Binatone Studio 5 HiFi system from Woolies for my birthday, road testing it in the shop with a copy of Hardware by Krokus, awesome or what!!

The 80’s saw me avidly collecting vinyl records that was anything to do with Rock whether that be Classic Rock, NWOBHM, Traditional Metal, Hard Rock, AOR, Prog, Pomp Rock, Southern Rock, Hair Metal or Glam Metal etc. Also I discovered the Friday Rock Show in 1979 hosted by one of my idols Tommy Vance. I would listen intently with my little transistor radio under my pillow, 10pm til Midnight awaiting all the fantastic bands new and old that TV on the radio would play and taping as many broadcasts as I could thinking one day I would love to do his job lol!

The same goes for going to concerts. Over the last 40+ years I have seen virtually all the classic bands of the late 70’s and 80’s. Which got me into to playing the guitar and starting my own bands a good few years later. I got my first guitar when I was 10 years of age so it took a while, unfortunately, working/married life got in the way!

Currently, I am the Jay Jay French in my awesome tribute band to Twisted Sister who are called Twisted System.

So there you have it, I am still collecting the vinyl, still collecting the guitars and amps (to the chagrin of my good lady lol) and now I am looking forward to bringing you 2 hours of my favourite tracks from my 50+ years of listening to the best music in this whole Goddamn universe!

Keep Rocking…..Stay Hungry!
