Any other Strandtown former pupils remember John Bennett from his days as a teacher there?
I was there when he arrived, I think as a PE teacher. He then became a classroom teacher before moving to the BBC. Seemed to be a nice guy, especially as he overcame the early handicap of being a pupil at RBAI.

Great choice in falling asleep music for people of a certain age. Many enjoyable Sunday night's to " music of the Presidents choice " . No requests allowed on a Sunday night. God bless.

True pioneer. Beano album still stands today as an all time classic. How many legends did the Blues breakers spawn? More than Munster!

Kris Kristofferson sadly didn’t wake up on Sunday morning.

Saw him a couple of times. Quite a guy.
