Andrew Lang brings a lifetime of music industry insight and infectious enthusiasm to TD1 Radio. His Cover Versions Radio Show, now a firm Friday afternoon favourite (2–4pm), began during lockdown as a temporary replacement for his Border Events “What’s On” programme — and quickly became a permanent part of the schedule.

With experience working in the music business for TV advertising company K-Tel, and vivid memories of the early Top Of The Pops compilation albums flying off the shelves in Woolworths, Andrew has long understood the power of a great cover version. Today, as reinterpretations dominate radio features and music polls alike, he celebrates the creativity behind reimagined classics and modern twists on familiar hits.

Passionate about discovering fresh material, Andrew spends hours sourcing new tracks, exploring supplier websites, and uncovering hidden gems to share with listeners. He also occasionally appears as a guest presenter on 70s’ Sounds, bringing his trademark knowledge and warmth to the wider TD1 Radio family.

Knowledgeable, curious, and always on the lookout for the next great reworking — Andrew keeps Friday afternoons sounding brilliantly familiar… yet refreshingly different.
