Bruce Edwards

Bruce’s interest in radio started as a kid in the 70s when his Dad gave him his old KB “Toaster” Bakelite Radio to listen to. He quickly found Radio Luxembourg, a few other local stations and the Radio 1 Top 30, and from then on, he was hooked. Night after night he would listen to all the different stations across the UK and Europe, fascinated by the variety of sounds, voices, and places he could listen to.

Before he left school he was helping out at his local hospital radio station, and shortly after starting University in Sheffield in 1985, he started helping out on Hospital Radio here too. A year at Radio Top Shop led to the chance to join Radio Hallam, and since then he’s never been far from a radio studio. Bruce has worked on a variety of radio stations in Sheffield, Hull, Bradford, Preston, Liverpool, Manchester, Lancaster, and on Teesside, not only on commercial stations but on the BBC as well.

When Bruce can escape from the studio, either at Home or at Rotherham Radio he switches off in the same sort of way as many people do, with a bit of photography, travel, the garden, home cooking, TV, cricket and golf, a good book to read. Then there’s the Mad German and an elderly Mexican lady (also known as Olly and Jenny) who are always wanting a belly rub, treats and walkies and best of all there’s getting away for a bit of Sunshine with Producer Andrea!
