The 80s Empire is the brainchild of two media professionals who, between them, have decades of experience in all areas of publishing and broadcasting.

 

Huw Collingbourne

Publishing Director

Huw has more than 25 years of experience in all aspects of conventional and online publishing. A pop music journalist in the early ‘80s, he interviewed most of the major stars of the day such as Boy George, Adam Ant, Toyah, George Michael and Simon Le Bon. In the late ‘80s, he became a technology writer and columnist for magazines such as PC Plus, PC Pro and Computer Shopper. He has both edited and published magazines and has written and presented features for BBC television and Future Publishing multimedia. His company, Dark Neon Ltd, publishes the online computer magazine, Bitwise, and the ‘80s music magazine Dark Neon :: Back to the 80s.

 

Peter Quinn

Director of Media

Peter has programmed and presented for both British and international radio stations since the ‘80s, including Radio Caroline, Malta’s Island Sound and numerous commercial radio stations in the UK such as Southern FM Brighton, Trent FM Nottingham and Swansea Sound Wales. His eclectic musical tastes embrace everything from hard rock to country - which explains how, in the late ‘90s, he was able to move from a position as Programme Controller of London’s Country 1035AM to Programme Manager and presenter for EKR, the ‘European Klassic Rock’ station. Peter provides the expertise needed for the development of a number of exciting new multimedia projects for the 80s Empire.


In the summer of 2005, Peter and Huw embarked upon a cooperative venture which combines their Internet publishing and broadcasting skills to create a unique online multimedia resource dedicated to the music and lifestyle of the 1980s. Welcome to The 80s Empire.
