Biography
Barry Jenkin, also known as Dr Rock, was the inaugural host of late night music show Radio with Pictures in the late 1970s; his famous signature line was "good evening citizens". Kiwi musician and author Michael Larsen has compared Jenkin's influence in New Zealand to that of legendary English DJ John Peel, since both "consistently championed music that is very much off the mainstream".
“Good evening citizens.”
