Presenters and Shows

 Dan Allen has been a  DJ for 24 year's but this is his first foray into radio.  Dan loves telling stories and playing song's around their theme. 

 Christian Music Spotlight with Brian David is a Contemporary Christian AC show. I do a verbal top 5 countdown, concert calendar, and I feature two 60-second devotionals to encourage and grow your faith in God. My slogan is “Today’s Hits & Yesterday’s Classics” because I play today’s biggest Christian hits, and the second song of the first and second segments are a classic song that you might have forgotten about. I also play songs that were not necessarily radio singles, but ones that you might enjoy since they fit my format. Sometimes you may hear an independent artist also, which you probably won’t hear anywhere else. I also do my best not to repeat an artist or song in back-to-back weeks. With the great variety of songs that I handpick, you will surely enjoy it.  I invite you to listen to Christian Music Spotlight and to tell your friends! 

 Steve is the host of Just Jazz. He’s a writer, VO artist, and built this website using bits of old code he found in a ZX Spectrum.

He’s a frustrated piano player, former professional club DJ, and  radio presenter who managed to entertain UK club-goers with his choice  of music and tomfoolery until the corporations took over in the 90s.

If you danced around handbags at top clubs in Essex and Kent in the  80s and early 90s, well… you may have seen Steve on the DJ stand at  venues in Southend-on-Sea such as Zhivago’s, The Zero 6, High Society, Electric Blue, and Basildon’s iconic The Sam Lords (now a block of flats).

In Kent he was resident DJ at Neros 2000 (Ramsgate), Woody’s (Isle of Sheppy), and Oceans II (Hythe). 

He was a Radio Top Shop presenter in the 80s, volunteered at Southend Hospital Radio, hosted breakfast at Basildon Radio (now Gateway), and enjoyed shifts working in the newsrooms at BBC Essex and Essex Radio in the 90s.

He had a short stint at stand-up (until he was asked to sit down),  and you may have seen him on Channel 4 TV (as the interference).

He hosted 80s club music show The Pleasuredome for three years and records his shows in a broom cupboard using an  avant garde mixture of wooden boxes, string, bits of wire, and elastic  bands.

Steve is currently based in New Zealand and would kill for a pint in  an old English pub served with Cumberland sausage and chips. Oh, and a  traditional English teacake… and the pecan pie you used to get at  Iceland wouldn’t go amiss either.

He is the author of the 10-seller book Podcasting Made Easy  and science fiction short Mayan and The Legion of Alice – available in paperback, audio book, E-Pub and Kindle.

Has been heard to say: “Is it on?” 

Will never say: “Download my app.

Jamie resides in Eastleigh,Hampshire (workplace of Benny Hill) and  has been in a few bands over the years and enjoys Gigs,Music (lucky for  you) and the joys of home baking.

"I have had  more jobs you could probably shake a soiled stick at,However radio is  something I have been involved in  for a while. I play an hour of  unsigned/signed tracks from bands and artists  who deserve at least of  few minutes of your attention"

Miguel is Dutch/Portuguese and has been living in the UK since 1987.  He discovered rock music at the age of 13 and never looked back.  He was  inspired to get involved with radio by listening to offshore pirate  stations such as Radio Caroline, Mi Amigo, Radio Veronica and Laser.   He's worked at countless radio stations from pirate radio to local radio  (both in the Netherlands and the UK), internet radio and hospital  radio. He did his first radio show on a tiny dutch pirate station called  Radio Idefix. He was hooked after that first show and has been doing  radio for the best part of 35 years since.  He also fulfilled his dream  of broadcasting his show from a ship as he was lucky enough to be  granted a slot on Radio Seagull which broadcasts from one of the old  lightships used by the offshore pirate stations.  Miguel presents the  Rock Experience, a rock show in it's truest form. Rock is a very wide  spectrum of music and he likes to play you some of the best new rock  releases from around the world alongside some great classics. Hard rock,  heavy metal, classic rock, alternative rock, prog rock, and blues all  get equal attention. The show is all about good music with feeling,  depth, and tons of rock... Catch the show Saturdays 10am - 12pm / 3pm -  5pm

Hi everybody, it’s a great pleasure and honour to be able to present my show to you, and be apart of AltUK Radio, I certainly hope you enjoy listening to my show, hopefully there is something for everyone's musical tastes.

A little bit about myself, I’m a Liverpool lad but have spend most of my life travelling back and forth from Liverpool to North Wales. My family had catering business along the North Wales coast from many years. Eventually I moved and settled in North Wales and married a local Welsh girl we have three grown up boys, and are now proud grandparents.

For the past 10 years I have been a musician in a Beatles tribute band, and have had the greatest honour to have met a few of my all time heroes of the era, and in some cases even shared the stage with them.

I have a great love and respect for Sixties music and culture,

I enjoy collecting memorabilia from the era, and have a collection of authentic clothes and instrument’s from the period.

But it wasn’t always music that was my career though.

I am also a qualified nurse, working as a Cancer Nurse, for over 25 years.

Another of my hobbies is acting although started out as an amateur Thespian, I have been lucky to have had work on the TV in lots of stuff like ‘Coronation Street’, ‘Children’s Ward’ and a few films, I’ve worked for the BBC, S4C, Granada and Sky TV.

I enjoy music, playing guitar, cooking and drinking chilled White wine, I enjoy having friends over for dinner, so your always welcome at my home if bringing any of the above.
 

Hope you have fab fun listening in and please message me for any requests or just for a chat.
