The Colours of Music
Add a splash of colour to your day with Colours of Music on Coast FM!
Weekdays between 6am and 6pm, the Classic Hits crew is painting the airwaves with iconic tracks from the 60s to the 90s — all featuring a colour in the title.
From the bluesy charm of the 60s, to the golden grooves of the 70s, the purple-hued pop of the 80s, and the bold anthems of the 90s, it's a vibrant playlist that spans four decades of unforgettable music. Think “Black Magic Woman,” “Brown Eyed Girl,” “Yellow Submarine,” “Purple Rain,” “Blue Monday,” “Behind Blue Eyes,” “Red Red Wine,” and so many more classics that coloured a generation.Turn up the nostalgia and let every shade of song brighten your day.
Colours of Music — only on Coast FM 963, where every colour tells a story.

Artist of the Day - Michael MacNeil
Scottish composer and keyboardist, born 20 July 1958, Isle of Barra, Scotland.
Keyboard player with Simple Minds from 1978 to 1990. he later formed the group "XSM" (Ex Simple Minds) along with Derek Forbes and Brian McGee. He also formed another band with Derek Forbes, Ian Henderson and Bruce Watson (Big Country) called Four Good Men.
He released his own solo album on his own label in 1997 called "People, Places, Things".
Note: It is a common mistake that he is listed as a member of Johnny and The Self Abusers when infact it was a different person with a similiar surname. Alan McNeil is the credit on the Johnny and The Self Abusers record, a guitar player.
