About
Merseybeat, Cornwall, France and Spain!
Vince Tracy worked as a Radio Presenter with BBC Radio Merseyside in the early 1970s while he was a club DJ around Merseyside. A fire in Birkenhead Market was a major turning point in Vince's life when water damage from that fire closed the Hamilton Club and Vince was out of a job. Eventually, Vince went semi-professional and developed a sales career. He progressed from relief salesman to become the Northern Division Field Sales Manager and Sales Trainer with Jenks Brokerage, a national blue chip company in the food business.
Alongside his sales career Vince developed music skills playing guitar and harmonicas to add a new dimension to his performance skills. The riots in Liverpool in the 1980s prompted a move to Cornwall and a subsequent return to study leading to degrees and academic qualifications as both a Lecturer and Qualified teacher in Cornwall.
During his first degree Vince returned to Broadcasting but this time in Brittany, France. His BA studied Recreation and the Community and involved working at Radio H in Brittany. While working as a lecturer at Cornwall College Vince studied a Masters Degree in Education.
After many years teaching in Cornwall Vince and the family moved to a new life in Spain with a full-time radio job as a frontline presenter with national broadcaster, Onda Cero. He also developed his cabaret shows in Benidorm eventually leading to performing his rock n roll act in USA, Australia, France and Spain and beyond.
When the recession forced the closure of the Onda Cero International radio station in Altea in 2009 Vince developed his podcasting.. His love of music had developed during his years as a club and radio DJ and he was an all-round sportsman with trials at Tranmere Rovers and representing the Liverpool Shipping League underpinning his love of football. He also played in pro/am games with World Cup stars and great names from the world of showbiz. Vince played Rugby Union with Old Anselmians and Old Instonians and was a second Dan Judo instructor and international judoka
