Born in Bradford (a long time ago), Lee wanted to be playing music for as long as he can remember. After leaving school he became a well-known and much-followed DJ in leading nightclubs in the North, working with impresarios like Peter Stringfellow to open several ground-breaking venues. After marrying, he needed to get a ‘proper job’ more suited to family life and spent some years in Germany working in the travel industry. Returning to the UK and Kent his career took another turn, this time as product development manager for Pilkington Glass and other manufacturers in the industry

Gary grew up north of Watford in a town called Sheffield. He has always loved music, especially in the heady days of punk, new wave and The Sheffield Sound. The first short-lived band he played in was called "The Crap". The second was with the band "Eddie Riff and the four skins", which consisted of lead guitarist Joe Elliot who went on to perform in the band Ded Leppard.

Simon has been a radio presenter since the age of 19. He got his first big break on Chiltern FM back in late 1998. As well as presenting, Simon is also a DJ and event host. His most recent gig was hosting the Bedford Park Concerts where he introduced Louisa, Fleur East, Tom Walker, Tom Odell and Mistajam on stage. In 2016, Simon began hosting a 2-hour weekly dance show called Weekend Anthems

Irvin Cee has started his second DJ career 100% digital and plays more than ever before on his musical feeling. He practices "Controllerism", by using controllers he makes computers do exactly what and when he wants them to do in order to uplift the musical experience to new heights. No precompiled or edited sets, but music from the depths of his soul. Track choice, order and structure are more important than genres so Irvin plays a broad spectrum of Deep House, House, Tech House, Techno and Hard Techno.

A DJ for over 25 years, Mickey Jay has graduated steadily through the ranks. Initially on the Kent circuit he progressed to play such venues as Pacha and Ministry Of Sound in London, before a 5 year residency in Ibiza at Manumission’s infamous Bar M as well as playing the likes of Eden, EsParadis and Space.

Bow comes from a background of a very successful dance band known world wide, not only In Italy, in 93 called Ava and Stone. Even though they started out as a rock/contempoary band they moved over to commercial dance. The band was made up of Bow, songwriter and musician, who has written hits for other bands too... no name dropping 😂😂😂

Starting in the music industry at 16 and working with some of the biggest names out there, Dave Parker comes with a pedigree of Rock that makes his shows as good as they are.

For 50 years, I was a drummer and sometimes lead vocalist for Vancouver's ultimate party-rockers, Sparkling Apple (their speciality: "drunk rock", which you had to be drunk to play and drunk to appreciate). Nowadays, furthering my tradition of musical life, yours truly is a podcasting/Internet radio DJ and graphic artist, with my own program entitled "The Captain Maniac Show" -- imaginative or what? Rather than subject listeners to one particular genre of music, typical presentations cover a wide spectrum of rock and roll, from 60s British Invasion to Rockabilly to 50s rockers to Psychedelic Oldies and all points in between. Join us for our two-hour weekly show from Canada.

Since Slade released Mama Weer All Crazee Now in 1972, I have always been drawn towards the “rockier” genres of music. My teenage years were spent listening to Alan “Fluff” Freeman on the radio, which broadened my taste and also gave me an awareness and appreciation of classical music, due to his use of it in show jingles. I’d also like to think that he’s had an effect on the way I present Headz Up.
