The Morning Show:  29th April 2026

Rob McGowan popped into Phil’s Morning Show today for a chat with one of the true legends of the airwaves – BBC Radio 2’s Gary Davies.

Best known for bringing the biggest hits of the 80s to life (and of course that iconic “Woo!”), Gary is back on the road with his biggest UK tour yet – Disco for Grown Ups: 80s Party – and it sounds like the ultimate throwback night out.

Packed with wall-to-wall anthems from one of music’s most unforgettable decades, the show promises a high-energy celebration of everything we love about the 80s.

Think singalong classics, non-stop dancing, and plenty of nostalgia as Gary spins the tracks that defined a generation!

And this isn’t just any night out – it’s a full-on 80s experience.

Dressing up is very much encouraged, so expect shoulder pads, big hair, and a sea of vintage band tees as audiences relive the magic of 1985 all over again.

Gary told Rob all about what fans can expect from the tour, why the 80s still hold such a special place in people’s hearts, and how these nights bring everyone together on the dancefloor.

If you missed it, you can catch the full interview with Gary Davies on our listen again right here – and find out why this might just be the best 80s party night out… ever.

  • Gary is at The Ritz Manchester this Friday:  1st May with other dates around the UK through to September
