Een hele rits geweldige nieuwe binnenkomers in de Top 50 deze week waaronder Eat at home, Get it on, Scoobidab en We shall dance. De Melting Pot van Booker T. & The M.G.’s is deze week de hoogste nieuwe. Verder in deze Top 50 nog een aantal prachtige nummers zoals Riders on the storm, The Banner Man, Because I love, Double Barrel, Pour un flirt, Won’t get fooled again en ga zo maar door. Een plaatje, dat vooral bekend is geworden als tune van Veronica Tom Collins is de kanskaart van Peter Holland : Comin’ home baby van Casey and his group. De kanskaarten van Joost en Jan zijn mij volledig onbekend.

The RNI memories of Michael Downing for this period

 

At the beginning of August 1971 one of RNI’s most important programmes started – Driemaster. Hosted by the Dutch newsreaders initially for one week each in every three weeks, the first presenters were Hans ten Hooge, Leo van der Goot and Joost Verhoeven, although Joost would soon go permanently on land to take over the mid-morning programme, following Jan Van Veen’s departure from RNI. Joost would be replaced on the Mebo 2 by Nico Steenbergen.

 

Monday 9 August 1971

Leo van der Goot is hosting Driemaster this week. Joost de Draaier is on tour with Shocking Blue in Japan at present and his programme from 12.00 to 14.00 s currently being presented by Joost Verhoeven. International service programmes this evening are:

18.00 Mark Stuart

20.00 Crispian St John

22.00 Mark Stuart

24.00 – 3.00 Dave Rogers

Dave Rogers reads the news.

 

Tuesday 10 August 1971

Tony Allan returns to RNI after a couple of months away and takes over the 22.00 – 24.00 programme. Dave Rogers is this evening’s newsreader.

 

Wednesday 11 August 1971

Shock news today – both Alan West and Stevi Merike have left RNI in order to be able to spend more time with their wives. They had apparently asked whether they could record their programmes on land, but this was turned down. It is not yet known who will be the new head of the International service. Dave Rogers is tonight’s newsreader again.

 

Thursday 12 August 1971

One of RNI’s DJs from 1970 returns to the station today. Andy Archer comes out to the Mebo 2 having made the journey from Zurich to Hilversum by car. Also Mark Stuart and Dave Rogers go off on shore leave and Mike Ross returns to the Mebo 2. Leo van der Goot takes over the Joost de Draaier 12.00 to 14.00 programme from today and Joost Verhoeven starts his week of Driemaster. International service programmes are:

18.00 Andy Archer

20.00 Crispian St John

22.00 Mike Ross

24.00 – 3.00 Tony Allan

Mike Ross and Tony Allan are the newsreaders. It is announced that new Sunday programmes are expected on the International service.

 

Friday 13 August 1971

More programme changes – Ferry Maat’s programme now finishes at 15.45 on Friday and the next 15 minutes is filled with a programme called “Een nul” in which Dutch footballers pick their favourite records, presented by Kees Jansma. A mobile discotheque today features Dave Rogers and Ferry Maat. News is read this evening by Mike Ross and Tony Allan, but the news jingle has been dropped.
