Hello! I'm Adrian John, and although you probably wouldn't believe it for a moment, I actually own a Bongo! Yes, it's true! (Ask Ian!) Click my promotional photo above for a sound of the good old days! Just because you haven't heard from me since 1988 doesn't mean I haven't been busy! Oh no. For a start I have to keep the Bongo archives in order. And also, I have to present my regular show on Saga Radio! Parp! Parp!
