Steve Jenner and his brother Paul were founding directors of the two commercial FM stations covering the Peak District and the Derbyshire Dales – ‘the roof of England’. He presented most of the major airshifts on these stations including breakfast and afternoon shows.
Before that he was a major ‘live’ DJ, working for a number of years in Scotland where he spun discs at gigs for a number of leading bands and musicians. He can remember playing support to the Steve Gibbons Band the week their cover of Chuck Berry’s ‘Tulane’ was on the UK Chart and, try as he might, he can’t forget the night Freddie ‘Fingers’ Lee popped his glass eye into his pint pot during an after – gig session on an old chapel piano…….
Since then after years of TV and media work including five appearances on the BBC breakfast ‘red sofa’ he went on to spend three years working for legendary Offshore station Radio Caroline, where he performed a number of live shows from their surviving ‘pirate radio’ ship anchored on the Essex Coast, Ross Revenge for Radio Caroline North. From there he went to LV18 Radio Mi Amigo, where he has broadcast live 45 vinyl shows from the LV18 Lightship moored at the Port of Harwich, making him one of very few DJs who have played live shows from the only two remaining broadcast ships in the UK.
He discovered American Boss Jock radio from the 50s and 60s in the 1970’s – and never quite recovered.
He and his brother were present backstage with Crazy Cavan and the Rhythm Rockers on the occasion of what turned out to be Cavan Grogan’s last gig. He’s really looking forward to presenting a unique show celebrating music released before the beginning of pop music radio in the UK on what he regards as ‘a truly great rock n roll radio station’.
