About Me


MySpace Layouts pet friendly hotels myspace codes myspace layoutsmyspace codes myspace quiz Myspace Video CodesBig John's dad is a vicar. Producer James' dad is an accountant. Michelle's dad has been narrowed down to three rugby teams that passed through South Yorkshire in 1983. And this mix seems to be the perfect combination for the number one breakfast show in South Yorkshire and the North Midlands.
Obviously, any good show needs a talking hamster, and in recent sample testing, "Hallamster" overtook James Blunt in popularity. He even helped Big John launch his "Read To Succeed Campaign" to (successfully) fund additional teaching assistants in local schools. Hallamster's autobiography has been an hysterical revelation, and demand for a printed form is unprecedented.
Getting right behind the music in 2006, prompted Big John to track down an 80's legend, who lives in Doncaster. And with the incredible backing and support of listeners, John Parr re-recorded and re-released his worldwide number one hit from 1985, "St Elmo's Fire". The team delivered CD's to local stores and sold out within one week. We even reached No 7 on the Indie Singles Chart. All proceeds went to our charity "Help A Hallam Child". The single even prompted a video that really got South Yorkshire folk talking.
Another project followed, and the show went on to raise an incredible £40,000 in 4 weeks to rebuild the playground at Rotherham General Hospital. And it was all thanks to our listeners.
With a weekly celebrity guest - often disarmed by Big John's healthy disrespect for their PR agenda, a Stuntman, a "4 Year Old Game Show Host" (Producer James' daughter), the variety of features and games on Big John @ Breakfast ensure that the show is truly different every day. And still continues to surprise and entertain.
Big John @ Breakfast - IT'S BETTER THAN IT SOUNDS!

My Interests



HERE'S SOME BITS FROM THE SHOW

QUICK!!!!! CHECK THIS CLIP!!!!!

So the nurse got called away, and Michelle had to operate on me....

Michelle decided it would only cost me £17 for her to jump in the fountain outside Sheffield City Hall live on air...
She's a good guy.

Ricky Gervais had heard about my Hallamster and wanted to meet him...

KELLY BROOK rang me this week live on air. I think I got abit excited...

Big John on Richard & Judy's "You Say We Pay" - before it got axed...

Hallamster (our talking hamster) in action...

It was a simple mistake...

Doing it for the kids...

People wanted to see her, so here's my biatch "Willow" - in action...

I'd like to meet:

Whoever it was who put this video clip on the internet. This was taped off our webcam. It was the day I got John Parr to re-release his massive 80's anthem for our charity and we got abit carried away.

Music:

I like chilled stuff like Royksopp, Lemon Jelly, Chicane. But I also like good pop tunes. I like the Zutons at the moment, but I might have changed my mind by the time you read this. That's the problem with the bloody internet, it's all out of date. Huh.

Movies:

I love that ET that's just come out. It's about an alien. Great catchphrase "Phone home". I bet BT use that line in an advert one day. See. Bloody internet. Out of date again.

Television:

Avago rocks my world. And all the shopping channels. The last two facts were only 83% true. Still, I think you'll find that's quite alot. Ofcourse I like any programmes my sister has made. Fact.

Books:

Try Danny Wallace. He's got the right idea. My mates ex girlfriend is in the latest Tony Hawks book. Wierd, he talks about falling in love with this girl, and it's a girl I know.

Heroes:

Craig Smallson. He was in my class at school. He had a nasty accident during games. He was left with only one ball. He only cried abit. Now that's a hero. Oh, and God.
