Richard returned to his native Scotland in the mid seventies to not only continue his reputation as an unstoppable music broadcaster, but also spreading his wings into sport at Radio Clyde.
Richard was the one responsible for turning the stations output into Capital FM and Capital Gold and propelling its listenership to 44% of Londoners (the highest the station has ever had) as well as obtaining the highest city audience in the world.
In fact, Richard claims that Lionel and George Michael are the most talented musical artists that he has ever come across, having met George in Glasgow and even now being one of the first to be invited to pass comment on his new material.
