CHRIS PRIOR
Chris Prior was born in Durban and grew up in Joburg at various boarding schools. He was in his late teens when the rock revolution took place, when bands like The Rolling Stones, The Doors, Led Zeppelin, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, The Grateful Dead and a thousand others started to make serious waves. The Beatles had just released Sgt Peppers. It was a whole new world and it captivated Chris and all his friends. Chris started collecting as much as his limited funds allowed. At the time Chris was a cub reporter in the SABC newsroom earning a “massive” R80 pm. Chris still has some of the vinyl bought way back then and has a room full of music just itching for it to be heard! LONG LIVE ROCK

Start talking to him and you will find that it is also very infectious. His biggest thrill is sharing that passion and knowledge with fellow music lovers. Catch the bug right here.

CHRIS VENTER
It seems as though Chris was vaccinated with a phonograph needle as he has had music as a huge part of his life since he was a toddler. He uncle introduced him to the likes of Dean Martin and Nat King Cole and that was the start. LM radio was a huge influence on his life before he moved to the other side of the pond at the age of 12. The mid 70s American rock music scene was in full bloom with the likes of Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and the likes becoming his bands of choice. Chris has spent 35 years in the music industry with catalogue marketing/compilations becoming his forte along with 5 years experience as a presenter on a Gauteng based radio station. For the last 2 years he has indulged himself in his other interest, woodworking, and has kept himself busy with various projects. |
RUSTY HORNSBY
Ruston Hornsby aka Rusty happens to like Music.... from his earliest recollections of Jim Reeves, Chuck Berry, The Beatles and Rolling Stones and everything Bluesy and Jazzy....Oh!! I forgot Frank Zappa, Classic and Progressive Rock. His Radio Idols are Stan Katz, Rafe Lavine and the Late Phil Wright and David Blood respectively. Other interests are motor racing, reading and problem solving (excluding computers and cell phones). Rusty served his early radio years on another mixed up radio station. Here he mentored several like-minded radio junkies. His current music tastes stray into and across many genre's including local artists. You can expect to hear popular tracks as well as the unexpected from Rusty's Music Vault. Rusty will soon be based abroad, but the technophobe will continue to entertain Rockingcrew streamers and showcase excellent music. |
