Manages The Rock Show, The Bunker @ Fluffy Bottom, Rock Show Heights and The Radio Syndicate

Jim is a two-time award winning broadcaster, whose latest project The Rock Show has been running for 11 years.  In that time he's managed to turn a one hour fortnightly podcast into a weekly live radio presentation, which has gone as long as three hours, but since stabilized to two hour, & which the emanates from it's own premises (The Bunker) in deepest darkest west Wales.  'Big' Jim, as he's known to his friends & fans, has had a love of music since childhood, & is recognized to have knowledge of a varied spectrum of musical styles.  He's like a walking Shazam!  While he plays bass, he can't do six strings (yet), & in his own words he's far from being a musician ... "I'm a drummer mate!"
