Peter James Barnard-Powell (born 24 March 1951 in Stourbridge, England) is an English former disc jockey, popular on BBC Radio 1 in the late 1970s and 1980s, who has a second career in talent management.
Early career
Powell was educated at Uppingham School, a boys' Independent school in Rutland in England. Powell began his broadcasting career as the first voice on air when BBC Radio Birmingham launched in 1970, and then had a brief spell on Radio 1 in 1972.
He then went to Radio Luxembourg before rejoining Radio 1 in 1977. Almost immediately after his arrival at the station he made his debut as a Top of the Pops presenter, joining Radio 1 colleagues on the roster.
Radio 1 career
Powell began as a weekend presenter on the station, presenting a Sunday show from 10am-1pm, before a move to Saturdays in October 1978, again from 10am-1pm.
In 1980 he took over the weekday afternoon show running from 3.30-5.30pm, before taking over the weekday teatime slot in 1981 from 5-7pm. The show went out from 4.30-7pm in 1982.
Peter Trevor Powell (29 June 1932 – 3 January 2016) was a kite maker who developed a steerable kite in 1972, using dual lines. Very early on, Powell's kites had spars made of ramin (Gonystylus) which were later replaced with aluminium tubing and, later still, by glass fibre spars. Originally they all came with black plastic sails, though later blue, red and yellow sails became available. The kites came with a long, hollow polyethylene tail that was inflated by the wind. The tail added stability as well as looking good when performing stunts.
Early life
He was born in Gloucester. His parents toured with an Ideal Home Exhibition show and he served in the Royal Air Force where he trained as a mechanic and maintained Gloster Meteor aircraft. He then ran a business with his brother painting road markings.
Kite production
300 kites a week were produced until a feature on the BBC News and current affairs television programme Nationwide, production then increased to 25,000 a week. Two factories were opened, followed by a further three with production reaching 75,000 a week.
Всеки път си казвах: "Не е тя". Всеки път си казвах, че греша. Всеки път си казвах, че ще спра. Срещнах я, това е любовта. Всеки си ден се плашех, ще мога ли да издържа? Всеки ден на сляп се правех, за грешките ти в любовта. Ако можеше небето с гръм един да ме срази. Ако можеше луната моите очи да ослепи. Припев: (х2) Всеки път си казвах: "Не е тя". Всеки път си казвах, че греша. Всеки път си казвах, че ще спра. Срещнах я, това е любовта. Де да можех да те укротя и с вериги да те окова, звяр във кожа на човек но омайваш всички хора! Хищник страшен и свиреп ден да дойде ще ти сложа ножа Припев: (х2) Дай ми само аз отдолу да те хвана пак на голо ще забравиш що е ритъм! Що е ритъм ах да те питам!
