About

Get to know Pete Greenwood – The Purple One

Stumbled over RTR FM back in the mid – nineties working late in my workroom, (upholstery for the curtain industry / designers etc.) discovered Woodstock Rock, Spoonful of Blues and Saturday Jazz. Made some special friends over the last 25+ years presenting, who enjoy the same genres of music. Always look forward to a show spinning vinyl and cd’s, playing music you won’t here too many other radio shows.

How did you become involved in the station?

Originally I started ringing in making requests (UWA years) and eventually got asked to come in and sit in on a show, Woodstock Rock back in 1998.

This lead to a guest spot, and must have impressed, as i was asked to do a bi-monthly guest spot and became part of the roster. This eventually lead to becoming a full-time rostered presenter, and got to learn the desk on the job. Spoonful of Blues came about by my name being put forward as a request to fill a vacancy in the presenter group back in 2011, been there ever since and still loving both shows.

Tell us about your most memorable gig, either attending or playing at?

Been way too many, probably Woodstock Rock’s 30th birthday bash at Mojo’s Nite Club back in 2014, we sold the place out, the bar went dry and nobody would stop dancing.

What is your favourite show (other than your own) on RTRFM?

Saturday Jazz / Giant Steps.
