Red Lamp Radio People & Presenters

Brian Dade

Hi, I’m Brian Dade.

I'm originally from Hastings, East Sussex, but currently living in Meckesheim, S.W. Germany, with my partner, and dog and cat.

I've listened to radio since my early years of listening to Radio Caroline on a tiny transistor radio under my pillow.

My radio career started at European Klassic Rock and for several years at internet station AiiRadio, where I hosted shows devoted to my specialism, progressive rock.

I'm a huge advocate, supporter and promoter of independent and unsigned/small label bands and artists who get little airplay on mainstream radio.

My desire on Red Lamp Radio is to introduce you to music you may not have heard of, but will grow to love.

I invite you to tune in, and join me on my journey, and help make this station the brightest and best on the internet.

I'm delighted to become part of the well established team of dedicated presenters on this station.

Claire Mackay

Claire from Lincoln, UK is a former host of our pure rock – ‘Rock Shock Tuesday’ show.

Claire’s ‘live’ stint on Red Lamp Radio has now come to an end, but you can still tune into to all Claire’s old shows on recorded podcast, through our ‘How to Listen’ page and our apps.

Craig Dean

Hi, I’m Craig Dean I’m the station founder, manager, and presenter of multiple live & pre-recorded Red Lamp Radio shows

I also run a couple of my own businesses - Soudini Ltd in the UK (that operates & sponsors the station) & FitterVentura, a Gymnasium & Fitness Zone in the Montecastillo area of Caleta de Fuste in Fuerteventura.

I love motorcycling (the Harley kind!) swimming & cycling (but am no Adonis!) and pubbing (who doesn’t enjoy the odd pint?!) along with trips to the cinema and eating out (all the usual I guess!).

I like science fiction, horror, romance and comedies, and I’m a happy chatty guy who just loves getting up in the morning – so if that sounds good to you then please tune in, as I’m sure we’ll be on the same wavelength!!

So what are you waiting for?!! Hop on the Red Lamp Radio entertainment express: It’s picking up in your area 24/7 and long may that continue!!

Paul FFMB Goodwin

A long time lover & now resident of Fuerteventura, Paul is a Karaoke DJ extraordinaire – the owner of the Music Bar in the Montecastillo area of Caleta de Fuste & a great addition to the Red Lamp Radio line up!

His first musical love is everything 80’s however you may just be surprised at what he throws in the musical journey you’ll share..

There are many words one could use to describe our Paul – but his favourite is quite simply ‘Nice’ !!

Julie McDermott (DJ Jules)

Hi I’m Julie McDermott - or Jukebox Jules - and my show is on every Tuesday from 7-9pm.

I’m a karaoke DJ and party DJ and absolutely love my job.

I’m based in the UK just over the Mersey from Liverpool.

I hope you will all enjoy my show and look forward to playing all your requests! ❤

Ray Burgess

I grew up in London to parents who bought records each week, so it was inevitable that I would follow suit, not realising that in the future I would be playing them to a wider audience.

I have a very broad taste in music across the decades and my eclectic mix will be evident in my shows.

I have been presenting radio shows for a few years starting at Lincoln City Radio. Since then I have worked for a number of internet stations which have sadly closed down. Nothing to do with me!

I enjoy attending gigs and festivals and reckon I have seen the greats from Jerry Lee Lewis to Bob Dylan to Fleetwood Mac to BB King and most in between. My favourite all time band being, The Who.

I now live in a village near Lincoln (Lincolnshire UK) with my Wife and dog.

Heidi Wilkinson

Hi I’m Heidi - Many call me the rainbow lady as I have a colourful character, style and rainbow hair.

You can call me what you like as long as you don’t call me in the mornings 🤣😂

Music has always been my saviour, it’s there when times are good and it’s propped me up when life has got tough, no matter what has happened, there’s a track to soothe my soul 🥰

I’m lucky enough to have worked in the entertainment industry for nearly 30 years, here’s hoping for 30 more 😍

I have been privileged to sing at pride events and festivals, I have hosted Dj nights at pubs clubs and parties in England and Spain and can honestly say I love what I do 😍

My motto in life is to spread smiles and that’s what I’m hoping HEIDIS HAPPY HITS will do for you.

Thank you for welcoming me to the red lamp radio team!

Let’s make some happy 😍

Ian Ellison

Ian Ellison shared his love of all things Northern Soul & Tamla Motown with you, every Thursday on Red Lamp Radio from May 2019 to January 2020

His show took you back to the glory days of this wonderful era, when he was DJing at places like The Twisted Wheel, Nuneaton Nighters, Blackheart Nighters, the Bridlington Weekender and Corfu Soul in the Sun – heady days indeed.

As a big fan of sunshine, hence living in and broadcasting his show to you from the sunny Canarian Island of Fuerteventura, he was a perfect example of the famous northern folk saying, ‘you gotta keep on keeping on’ (in the best weather and with the best music of course!).

Kai-Uwe Von Pannier ‘The Grand Polar’

Hi, I’m Kai-Uwe Von Pannier - the ‘Grand Polar’!

From playing in bands to being a music producer, a tour manager, an artist manager and a promoter, I’ve pretty much seen it all and worked with many international artists (no name-dropping though!).

My taste in music crosses over a wide spectrum of genres but my favourite is progressive rock and new symphonic rock.

I’m firmly committed to helping young musicians get heard, which is absolutely reflected in my shows - so climb aboard the Iceberg and enjoy the ride!
