Chris joins South Devon Sound to present the Weekend Wake-Up from 0800 - 1000 on Saturday and Sunday.
He says
"I've always loved music and radio, from an early age when access to equipment was non existent, I used to present a top 40 show in my bedroom using 2 tape recorders and songs taped off the radio.
I remember getting my first ever album on cassette (the original Now ). I thought it was the best thing ever!!!!
I collected them all until 1995 when they were stolen from my pea green Vauxhall Nova !!!!
My favourite band....Fleetwood Mac....
I also have a big passion for cheesey pop and novelty tunes.....you'll often hear these on the show...."

I fell in love with Radio whilst listening to the Pirates. As mid teenagers a friend and I would regularly visit the offices of Radio's Caroline, London & 390 in London to hang out, ogle the secretarys and meet an occasional DJ.
My mother had returned to her native Australia and not long after our Pirates were closed down I made my second visit and was delighted to find an abundance of Pop stations in Sydney - and once again began to hang out at the studios of my favourite Aussie stations.
At the age of 21 I was on a working holiday back in Oz when I was invited onto a small AM station. I have jumped behind the Mic as often as I could ever since!
I love stations like ours. No Station policy meetings, no playlist adherence, no bombarding the audience with endless ads & Promos, and not a management memo in sight - just a bunch of people doing their best to entertain. I like being here - I hope it shows.

In 1978 a fresh faced Glyn was a regular at The Wigan Casino all-nighters, Nottiingham Palais all-dayers, and many other soul clubs around the country.
Northern soul became a passion for him and he became an avid record collector.
Glyn’s career as a DJ started at 7 years of age on his brother’s mobile disco. From 13 he was working in night clubs and in 1994 following a stint on pirate radio he started his own radio station in the UK called ‘Valley Radio’
In 1997 Glyn began the ‘Soultastic’ Soul Club based at Alfreton Leisure Centre in Derbyshire UK attracting up to 800 soul lovers every month at the regular Northern soul nights.
Glyn’s radio shows can be heard on South Devon Sound and you can contact him direct using [email protected]
Pariah Burke grew up banging his impressive head of hair to 80s and 90s hard rock, heavy metal, and hair band albums he played all the way through while wondering why even the coolest FM stations only ever played the singles. Living and playing in bands in Daytona Beach back when Bike Week was still awesome, Pariah developed a taste for Harleys and whiskey, and began DJing Bike Week events and mud wrestling. Later, somehow still in possession of his full hearing, Pariah embraced the ability of Internet radio to reach hard rock, heavy metal, and hair band fans all over the world. He started the Hard, Heavy & Hair with Pariah Burke syndicated radio show to bring to all those fans the biggest hits but even more so the non-single album tracks, the “deep cuts,” that make albums great but never get air play during regular radio rotation.
