STUART KNOWLES Swansbrook’s hard man of news will be interrogating our politicians, councillors and publicans in his relentless quest for the truth. Stuart learned all about Broadcasting at the BBC and was a top reporter with a number of national stations before returning to his original career in law -  our very own legal eagle. Stuart presents and produces “The Broadsheet” and “In Conversation” as well as coordinating the station’s factual output and organising the schedules. IAN BELLION Ian has worked in broadcasting since the world began. For years the voice of “disgusted of Tunbridge Wells” on BBC Points of View, he’s worked on both sides of the microphone and camera, is an actor and playwright and currently works as a voiceover artist. Known up and down the land for his cheerful catch phrase “I’m off to the pub”. Ian produces and presents his weekly “Happy Hour”, reports on goings on and looks after Swansbrook’s website. COLIN JAMES Born in 1944, Colin came through the birth of ‘Pop’ , starting with Rock’n’Roll, as we know it. He made his first broadcast in December of 1964 on Radio City, a pirate station and later in 1970 joined BBC Radio Medway (later Kent), being their ‘first guest DJ’. Colin now brings his vast experience and musical knowledge to Swansbrook. Colin produces and presents his “Golden Age of Pop” programmes airing daily on Swansbrook. CHRIS FLETCHER Chris is a native of Solihull but came to the calmer waters of Feckenham in 2006. She was a lead presenter on the experimental FM broadcasts we made under our former name of W.A.K.E FM. She’s an experienced chorister having sung with the London Hospitals combined choirs in the Albert Hall and Festival Hall when she was working at Great Ormond Street in the 70’s - this, combined with her encyclopedic knowledge of “serious” music makes Chris the ideal producer/presenter for our “Classical Swansbrook” show. PAUL FUREY Dr.Paul is the caring voice of Swansbrook. Known for his work with bees and a love of big cigars. Dr Paul is constantly on the move and will be reporting from exotic locations throughout the Shire. If it’s touchy feely Dr Paul will be there touching it and feeling it and if it needs probing Dr Paul’s probe will be primed. It’s not clear what sort of Doctor he is but It’s widely believed that he has an ology of some sort. Paul presents and produces “In Conversation” as well as special events and large projects KATHY GEE, MBE Kathy Gee brings dignity to the airwaves with her reports from cultural meccas and artistic shrines. Recently honoured, Dame Kathy will be first on heir when King Charles is crowned… Kathy is our Head of Archiving and referree in times of squabbles. CAROL PRICE Carol’s our Bradley Green and Droitwich correspondent. She’s a member of two local choirs and is involved with Arts organisations in the area. Carol contributes items to The Broadsheet and Happy Hour. JAMES VAUGHTON James is the technical genius behind Swansbrook Radio. He set up and maintains all of our transmission systems and servers - and he’s the person we turn to when it all goes horribly wrong. James is an acomplished broadcaster in his own right and has been involved in community stations near his home in St Albans.
