                                                    Hi I am Jim Stevens

                                                    In the seventies, I

                                                    started

                                                    broadcasting on a

                                                    hospital radio

                                                    station in Surrey

                                                    and one of my

                                                    shows won the

                                                    NAHBO national

                                                    competition for

                                                    best hospital radio programme along ith my co-presenter Steve Jarrett. Among the judges were DJ & TV presenter Noel Edmonds and newsreader Richard Baker. I also started recording interviews with many celebrities, including DJ Johnnie Walker and comedy legends Morecambe & Wise. One of my favourite memories of hospital radio was presenting a live 'Juke Box Jury' in front of an audience with a celebrity panel including singers Helen Shapiro and Rob Davis of the band Mud. 

I now really enjoy presenting my weekly Happy Hour show on various British and international FM & internet radio services. They are all a very friendly bunch and they’ve got talent oozing out of their studios!  https://www.happyhourshow.co.uk

 

Hi I’m Hollyj. I worked as a Housing Officer for the Local Authority for 24 years.

 

Upon retirement, I found myself at a loss of how to fill my days and it was a family friend, Steven King, who runs his own Radio Station Krystal Radio. who persuaded me to join the ranks of his Radio Presenters.

 

I must confess, I didn’t see myself as a Radio Presenter, but I loved the 60’s music and that’s how I got started as a Radio Presenter all those years ago.

 

I play the 50’s, 60’s 70’s on THE SATURDAY JUKEBOX 3-5pm

 

11:00am Sundays it’s THE PEOPLE’S CHOICE with songs chosen by the Listeners.  Love From Hollyj

Hi, I’m Jacqui and have only been in radio a very short time compared to others that I work alongside. On retiring early from working in finance I set about volunteering for a local hospital radio as a request collector, as I enjoy talking to people and felt this was my forte. However after the first week when I collected far too many requests by getting involved in chatting to the patients and staff for a long period of time, which was classed as going AWOL from the station. I returned to the studio with three pages of requests for a one hour show. Oh dear, far too many, with these having to be spread over several programmes..

On the whole I loved the volunteering, in my second week I was asked my genre of music, which was 60s – mad about the 60s – and asked if I would sit in and present the 60’s show as the guy was on holiday, not to worry about the controls someone would control the desk for me, all I had to do was chat, that was no problem for me.

I went home in deep thought, then came up with the idea of telling the 1963 Profumo Scandal through the said word and music – feeling I didn’t do too badly I was surprised to be asked to come back the following week and present another 60s programme, after which, I was asked if I could present the show permanently as the guy had left the station. My very own show in a matter of three weeks, I had never been elevated to a more superior position so quickly in all my life.

I have now been volunteering seventeen years with Basildon Hospital Radio with fifteen as Chairman. I have been around a bit broadcasting a chat show with Gateway Community Radio Station, managing to chat to some very interesting people in the process. In addition I now work an hour a week with Krystal Radio talking about articles in the newspapers and playing music, sometimes with guests, and sometimes talking to myself, I’m quite good at that!!!!!!

I hope you enjoy the programme and keep listening and supporting my programme.

 

My desire to be a radio presenter stemmed from a 1 day work shadowing in a local radio station in my last year at Kingsdown School for the disabled child; however my radio career started in earnest in 2000 when I joined the student radio station of Thames Valley University (Now the University Of West London) for a 1 hour slot, in the year that followed I worked my way up to secretary of the university radio society and then president having also become the regional officer of the Student Radio Association in my final year.

 

After leaving University I joined Hospital Radio in 2006 where I started in Sports Broadcasting as co-presenter and understudy of Saturday Sport. Eventually I became main presenter before moving on and presenting my own show called Pick N Mix with was a mix of music through genre and decades this was a two hour show that lasted between 2006 to 2011 where I left and joined Internet Radio.

 

Krystal Radio was the first station I joined to present what would eventually become The Spread however everything changed one day when an acquaintance then Japanese boyfriend introduced me to some Japanese rock music which changed the course of my radio broadcasting history. I introduced the feature the Japanese track which led to me showcasing my first new Japanese artist and the idea expanded so the show became a mix of Japanese Music, UK Chart and New & Independent Artists.

 

In 2013 I decided to spread my wings and syndicate the show to other radio stations having left Krystal Radio in 2014 also writing a magazine article on the odd occasion as well, and I got nominated for The Love Music Awards in the Best DJ Category of which I eventually won!

 

On Monday 29 2017 the final episode was broadcast after radio stations had declared it had its day. There was oner final goodbye for such a great show.

 

There was a six-month period where an extended break was taken where I started Karate and took a holiday in Mexico to concentrate on great music from UK artists, unbeknown to me, this would take the spirit of The Spread and would become even more international.

 

On 16 July 2017 the pilot episode of UK Independent made its debut on Sword Radio UK and on YouTube and arguably has featured artists from all over the world from Uganda all the way to Brazil. However due to rule changes and legal status UK Independent moved from YouTube to Mixcloud on 6 September 2019 where UK Independent has thrived.

 

In 2021 I won the International Singer Songwriters Association Awards International Best Radio DJ Gold Award and has continued to build full bonds with music artists, promoters and music platforms alike ever since
