More about Mark

Mark was born on April 22 1987 and started out by doing work experience in local radio, where he made lots of tea and was sent out on to the streets of Manchester to speak to largely indifferent members of the general public.

He collected the 'Best Male Presenter' prize at the Student Radio Awards in 2008 for his show on student station Fly FM, where he was also station manager and got free music and free gig tickets and stuff. After graduating he was soon snapped up to present on various stations across the Midlands, including BRMB and Trent FM.

He has been music obsessed ever since discovering his Dad’s record player aged nine, and his first gig was Oasis at Old Trafford - although his first single is far too embarrassing to reveal here (needless to say the cassette in question was destroyed a long time ago).

Mark studied Broadcast Journalism at Nottingham Trent University, chasing his long running dream to become a sports reporter… the next John Motson. Scary thought. He is a long suffering fan of his hometown club Bury FC, and last year completed a lifetime ambition by following England to Australia to watch them win the Ashes.
Mark joined the team at One Golden Square in July 2009 and can be heard on Absolute Radio, Absolute Radio 90s and
Absolute Radio 00s every weekday. You can follow him on
