Tom's doing stand-up and still works as a broadcaster.

Lucio is on XFM in London.

Kelly Temple. Johnny Moran?

debbie mac, is workin for galaxy 105 at the mo...

Lucio Buffone's doing very well for himself, having recently won a Sony award.

Tom Binns is doing the rounds on the standup circuit as well as presenting on the kerrang network. The Tom Binns Thing was genius - shame the management change after Anthony Gay left meant Tom never returned to do drive on Hallam.

Kelly Temple went to London to front some local TV kids show as far as I know, but that flopped. I did hear he was working on Independant local radio somewhere but that was back in the mid 80's. Vanished into obscurity.

Johnny Moran.....not heard of him since he left Hallam in the early 80's......not a clue.

As for the others from the 70's, Roger Moffat DEAD, Ray Stuart DEAD, Colin Slade went on the run his own production company based in Sheffield before it moved to London, Jean Doyle DEAD, Cindi Kent moved to New York to work on US radio, Bill Macdonald (DEAD I THINK), Keith Skues now works on Radio Norfolk or somewhere with about 5 listeners, Mike Rouse not a clue, Beverly Chubb not a clue, Adam West (not a clue), Martin kellner went to work for Radio 2 in the 80's but no idea since, have I miised anyone???

Update on Lucio...

I met him tonight! He did a dj set at BUGS (our union) for Indie Night and I went and had a brief chat about him doing Hallam int olden days. He's at Xfm now and was at Kerrang in between. So there you go. The nice manager lady also gave me an Xfm poster the size of my bedroom here (no joke, the only way its gonna fit is if I put it on the ceiling...)

Bill MacDonald is still very much alive.
Far from having only five listeners Keith Skues is now celebrating ten years on late night regional radio in East Anglia and has a big, enthusiastic audience stretching from Norfolk to Essex. They included until last year John Peel, who described him as "the jewel in the crown" or regional radio. He has just got an award from the British Academy of Composers & Songwriters.
It's always best to check your facts before you open your mouth.

Martin Kelner has a regular sports column in The Guardian among other things. I think he's also still on the radio - Radio Leeds or something like that.

I stand corrected. WHat does Bill Mcdonald do these days? He used to do the SUnday night classical music show on Hallam

He does the weekend late show - 10pm til 1am, on the BBC local radio stations in Yorkshire. So you can hear him on BBC Radio Sheffield. He has also popped up occasionally covering other shows on Radio Sheffield.

Someone mentioned Bev Chubb. My mum used to know her - she no longer works in radio.

Remember Vicky Locklin, she works on Calendar now. Her show used to be funny, I liked her.

bev chubb did the country and western show on hallam if my memory is right , wonder what happend to gerry kersey and his tacky kiss bag , and there was the velvetly voice of amanda charlsworth

best dj on hallam for me was freddie kersey he did the late night show from around 83 onwards always played loads of rock and you could ring him up for requests and have a chat wonder what happend to him ?

scottie mc'clue (spelling)

where abouts is he, i used to love listerning to his phone show.

He was on Forth 2 and Clyde 2, but I believe he has joined BBC Radio Scotland now.

Lucio left Hallam afternoons to do Kerrang 105.2 drive in brum, then left for XFM London on weekends. He's now going to be doing Drive permenently, so hes done very well!

It's a shame they messed up Tom Binns coming back - maybe we would have been spared the likes of Matt and Emma :@

Kerrang is Birmingham seem to like ex-Hallam DJs - Dave Bethell has just left (to join Invicta FM is Kent), and Emma Scott has arrived on a more permenent basis too.

Oh and Tim Shaw is on late nights there too!

Do you mean Freddie Allen, or Gerry Kersey (who is now on Radio Sheffield)?

I remember Roger Moffatt getting thumped in a pub because he said on air that they were going to have Elvis stuffed and displayed in the Radio Hallam studio

Displayed in Hallam Reception actually, in their old Hartshead building next to the Star depot. And I think he was not thumped in a pub but there was a lynch mob waiting outside Hallam reception in Sheffield who chased him down the street, past the Dove and Rainbow and up that little passage that leads to High STreet......

Roger Moffatt was very good. I became briefly obsessed with him after getting hold of old airchecks of his stuff.

Just read all of this string. Wish I hadn't contributed now.

What the f'? Clublander? What's the deal with having a little snide pop at Matt and Emma like that? They're a good listen. They're nice, genuine people. Above all though, they're human beings and there's no need to slag people like that.

Scottie McClue's doing a lot of radio work in Scotland at the moment. Lovely bloke, very clever broadcaster.

I always like Scottie, he was VERY clever at talking to people and getting reactions from people to his outrageous theories. However, he then went very mediocre and just seem to have average day to day 'chats' with callers on the air and crack jokes all the time, and all the controversy went away...

Are you the late night Hallam FM 'Nicholarse' by the way? If so you also have a very clever approach to people and it makes good listening. Often tune it for a chortle......

I saw scotty mclew eating skips out of the bin round the back of castle market. Thats a true fact

They are awful. Personal opinion which I'm entitled to. apparently not many people agree with me so its hardly anything to worry about. Daryl Denham covering their holiday a bit back showed how poor they are. He was excellent.

As opposed to an untrue fact?

I suspect you don't understand one of those words. Either fact or truth. Your choice.

As for your opinion, Clublander, it just seems a bit low to use a thread about ex-Hallam jocks to have a go at people.

Unnecessary.

PS - Yes, Goldenfleece, I'm the presenter on the late night phone in at the moment. Jolly good fun it is too. Glad you agree. ;)

I heard Freddie on Magic a few days ago. Is it the same man as the Hallam one? He sounds a lot younger. :confused:

Will have to listen - and will stand corrected if I'm wrong...because the last time I heard, he was in New Mexico :D

Mind you ,wasn't it Freddie J Allen that was on during the 80's?

Found out more about the following though....

Mike Rouse - owns his own recording studio business

Jim Greensmith - Sadly no longer with us,having passed away in 2003.He was a original member of the on-air team that launched Radio Hallam back in 1974 (later becoming Head of News) , and later went on to be a reporter for Yorkshire Television’s “Calendar” before becoming head of Press and Public Relations for South Yorkshire Police in the late 1990’s .

Mike McCarthy - along with another Radio Hallam colleague, Damian Johnson ,went to join BBC Look North in the late 80's . He left the BBC in 2000 to join Sky News where he is now Head of their Northern News Bureau.

Damian Johnson - after Look North,joined BBC Sport and can be found on Football Focus,Grandstand,and Match Of The Day

Alan Biggs - now a writer for the Sheffield Telegraph, and numerous National papers ,as well as working as a Match Day Reporter for BBC Radio 5 Live.

Tony Jasper - has written the autobiographies of Cliff Richard,and Johnny Mathis,as well as becoming a well known name in promoting Christian Music and Drama works . Head of the Jasperian Theatre Company too.

Colin Slade - still doing what he does best, playing Heavy Rock on DAB station Planet Rock

Alan West - left to join to the now defunct Centre Radio in Leicester. Now project leader of a Welsh Community Radio Project called Tormedia

Richard Tandy - last heard running a Record Plugging Company,plus did breakfasts on Centre FM in Staffordshire.Made a short return to Hallam in 2000 to do a late night phone in.

Dave Dixon (Dixie) - has just left 97.4 Rock FM in Preston

Peter McNerney - now producer of Calendar

Pete Brettle - was involved with RSL station Meadowhall Radio and HBS at the Hallamshire Hospital.

I am in contact with Bill MacDonald and showed him this thread. He emailed me this reply...

"Very interesting reading! Martin Dawes spoke like a true journalist when he said check your facts...rather like Mark Twain, I simply comment that reports of my death are greatly exaggerated. As were reports of some of the others mentioned in that piece. I'm not a member of the Shefield Forum (hence my ignorance) so I don't know if I can reply, but I could cast a little light on some of the missing Hallam DJs of bygone years, some very sad stories, others very pleasant.

I only did the classical music DJ work on Sundays, and some other types of broadcasts to support the top-liners whose profession it really was. I also did selling and script writing, and when I left Hallam 15 years ago, I worked part-time in other fields, helped set up another radio station in Chesterfield (Peak), and chaired the "Help a Hallam Child" appeal."

If anyone has any questions for Bill, I will pass them on and post the replies.

What about Peter Grant. He did the breakfast show with Vicky Locklin and he was great. Where is he Compund_Kid?

Oh Yeah and Tim Finlay. I used to listen to his evening show whilst doing my homework.

Magic 1170 at the last look in Stockton-on-Tees, he left Hallam FM to go to TFM (broadcast from the same building in Stockton) before becoming old and then went over to "hits and memories" :D

Well done on the Peter Grant trail - that's correct!

As for Tim Findlay,I've drawn a bit of a blank.I'll have to tap up my friends at Viking to find out where he is....

When I hear more,I'll be back to post more.....:)

What ever happened to Diana Luke? I use to always listen to her show, she was great.

Didn't she work at BBC Radio Sheffield for a while? :confused:

I'd like to know where she's working now. :)

Diana Luke used to present opposite me on Real Radio, she then moved over to do some work for the BBC, she's a hugely successful voiceover artist as well as broadcaster.

Peter Grant did some work on Hallam FM a few months ago. He's making some big moves behind the scenes elsewhere now though.

How strange, I've recently started to listen to your show again. Do you still get Pedro (Sp?) calling in? :D

Nick:

I'm a Real Radio listener, but can't remember you on there (sorry). I do remember Diana Luke, didn't She do the Late Night Love Songs.

I don't think he means he use to work at Real Radio. She was just his rival, as she was on the same slot as Nick.

Now I see,

Didn't think I had heard him on Real

No I wasn't too clear there was I? Roberto's right, I ment on the other channel not co-hosting or anything. Though she's a very talented broadcaster so I live in hope!

As for Pedro, I've no idea what he's upto, haven't heard him on the phone for ages!

NM

Yeah Mark Meadowcroft. I remember he resigned live on the phone in and went off halfway through the show. (Not sure if he was forcibly removed). They quickly summoned Dan James to come and play some records. Fantastic stuff!!

Heard Mark Meadowcroft doing a bit part on Radio Sheffield shortly after that but don't know where he is now. Sorry.

I seem to remember that Johnny Moran was the first voice on Hallam what happend to him?

Just to add a little bit more...

Peter Grant is now PD at Durham FM

Check out ... http://www.durhamfm.net/presenter.aspx?id=5

The late , great Roger Kirk had some great late night phone-ins on Hallam in the mid nineties.

where is Debbie mac now.. im sure i heard on hallam fm tonight??

Does any one know where Paul Massey is? He used to be on Saturday Nights when it was the Yorkshire Radio Network?

Paul Massey was last heard on KCFM in Kingston-upon-Hull. He was on their last RSL before they got the licence for Hull & East Riding. He did a the weekday late show from what i remember and he used all his old jingles from The Yorkshire Radio Network & Viking FM such as "Paul Massey with your music power", "Hi im (cant remember ger name) and i think Paul Massey has the sweetest show in town...", and that countdown thing he start every hour with. I believe he lives in Grimsby (or somewhere round there) but i havent heard him on the radio since KCFM. I used to love his Saturday night show on YRN, he used to get on well with Diana Luke and used to joke about what they were doing under the desk!

Chris Rodgers went to present newsround, then sky news or sumat.

What happened to Debbie Mac, I used to like her.

Very interesting to read that Bill "helped" set-up Peak, when i thought he was working for the Radio Authority at the time, deciding who got the licence for Chesterfield?
If i am wrong, then please correct me.
I remember that there were two other stations up for the licence with Peak, namely Trust FM and Spire (i think).
Trust and Spire did an RSL, but Peak didn't prior to the licence being given.
Strange that Peak won the licence when they never did an RSL!
It was thought at the time that Peak got the license unfairly and if i am right that Bill was working at the Radio Authority, then peoples thinking might have been correct.
Very fishy indeed!:suspect:
Trust FM would have been a far better option for Chesterfield but, hey, they sided with a shady character who ran Peak!:mad:

Phoneboy? Oh dear I remember him when I had a brief period of enjoying late-night Hallam around 2003. What was his real name? Where is he now and has he left Hallam?

Can anyone remember the fabulous "Margaret from Leeds" on the Roger Kirk and James H Reeve phone-ins on Hallam?

I'd love to arrange a special RSL for charity, to run for say a week or two, where the station would be a tribute to 'Radio Hallam', with past presenters and archive memories.
I am sure it would be extremely succesful and raise an incredible amount of money for charity.

Joe9T, Bill did not work at the Radio Authority at that or any other time.

When he said he "helped" set up Peak, in fact he was a director and shareholder. If he had also worked at the Radio Authority, I think someone might have noticed!

Thanks for clearing that up for me, Corcyra, as i had been led to believe that Bill had worked at the Radio Authority at the time of the license being given to Peak.
My apologisies to Bill MacDonald.

phoneboys in germany, on a german channel.

Oh dear! He had such a strong Yorkshire accent as well from what I remember. What was his real name and how did he come to be called Phoneboy?

I heard Martin Kellner did something naughty - can't remember what it was tho - I'm sure he was on Real Radio for a while. Loved his Fri & Sat nite shows

Oh dear! He had such a strong Yorkshire accent as well from what I remember. What was his real name and how did he come to be called Phoneboy?.....cos he's from Barnsley - and home for Christmas !:thumbsup:

phone boy - matt jagger, got his name phone boy, cuz he used to answer the phones for the person whos phone in it was, tom bins i think at the time.

Phoneboy's back! I was surprised to hear him on Hallam yesterday afternoon, anyone know how long he's been back? He's calling himself by his real name now though, which doesn't seem quite right.

Johnny Moran.....not heard of him since he left Hallam in the early 80's......not a clue

phone boys back :p he told me on myspace about a month ago he left his other job and was unemployed.

I used to listen to Hallam FM growing up. I remember Dixie, well mainly because of the jingle (dixie world dot com dot com!). I remember Tom Bins (the Tom Bins thing), Phoneboy, oh and Nick at Night. I've not listened for YEARS now! I think the last time I really listened must have been around 2002 or 2003. Wow. The only thing I really listen to the last few months radio-wise is the Adam And Joe show on 6 Music (but to be fair I just listen on iPlayer!).

Does any one know where Paul Massey is? He used to be on Saturday Nights when it was the Yorkshire Radio Network?

Paul Massey was last heard on KCFM in Kingston-upon-Hull. He was on their last RSL before they got the licence for Hull & East Riding. He did a the weekday late show from what i remember and he used all his old jingles from The Yorkshire Radio Network & Viking FM such as "Paul Massey with your music power", "Hi im (cant remember ger name) and i think Paul Massey has the sweetest show in town...", and that countdown thing he start every hour with. I believe he lives in Grimsby (or somewhere round there) but i havent heard him on the radio since KCFM. I used to love his Saturday night show on YRN, he used to get on well with Diana Luke and used to joke about what they were doing under the desk!
Sorry to bump an old topic - god knows how I found this, but incase you're still curious, he's retired from DJing. He's 60 in a couple of years!

Those jingles bring back memories when I used to go to Viking, Yorkshire, Humberside, Lincs etc and the other stations he was on when I was little. Good times. Was on the Radio1 reserve list at one point but never quite got there.

Martin Kelner is on BBC Leeds and does the Breakfast Show.

I've got an old recording of Paul Massey on one of his Saturday night shows. He used to play a tune backwards and then the listener had to guess by calling in what the song and artist was. The recording I have is from late 1988, when Kylie & Jason were singing "Especially For You". He also did the "Smoochie Poo's Hour."

He was good listen! :)

Whatever happened to Steve Lindley and 1970's "Flying Pizza Show" Mike Rouse?? :)

Where has Steve Hustler got to??? He used to do a show on Friday nights 2am after Howard Pressman who did his chart show from 10pm to 2am 1986ish. Steve Hustler was that his real name?

Steve Hustler was his real name, I worked for a shopfitting company about 15yrs ago and he was a contracts manager, he moved from their to work for John Lewis.

Who was the deep voiced DJ who used to do the Hot 100 chart run down in the early 80's, he came across as a nice bloke but got some of the song titles/artists names hilariously wrong on occasion.

someone earlier mentioned Margaret from Leeds,a legend in her time, i used to phone in regularly when when James H Reeve was on Hallam and was also invited to the opening of the radio show from the Dome when Hallam broadcasted from there with Mark Meadowcroft ,another few of the great phoners was maximillion,Fred (the harmonica player)from Wombwell,someone else from Darnell(who bought a book of my poems on Radio hallam auction for £30 which went to charity)im so glad i found this forum it brings back happy memories.

Chris rogers who used to have an evening show in the 90's, now works as a reporter for bbc news.

I have some recordings of "Margaret" from Leeds... she was sooooo hilarious and I too phoned in to Roger Kirk and James H Reeve, who was one of my faves - he was very interesting to listen to. Surely someone can recall the guy from Retford, who lived in a mansion (maybe made up,) but he was really funny and a great listen. He came across as posh, but I think it was all for "radio." I think I have him on tape somewhere, but have hundreds of cassettes and it's a matter of going through them all. I will find him eventually! :0)

Freddie J Allen also did "The Great Revive 45 Show," in the early 80's on a Friday night too. :)

He had a goatee and had a very distinctive voice.
