PerformersBBC Introducing in Essex is hosted by local boy Ollie every Friday night. It is part of a national initiative that promotes new, unsigned, undiscovered and under the radar music encompassing over 40 shows across local and national radio stations such as BBC Radio One and BBC 6Music. 20 year old Ollie went to Belfair's High School and started at BBC Essex in 2007 as one of the youngest ever presenters to host his own show. Following an interview on the breakfast show, BBC bosses were so impressed they offered Ollie his own slot - a rarity in BBC radio!
Nav started his basketball career playing netball with the girls in primary school.
Despite being laughed at by his classmates he went on to represent the United
Kingdom at the age of 22. It was this type of dedication and discipline that got
him to where he is today.
Through making the right choices and putting in the extra training he was able to avoid the pressures of taking performance enhancing drugs from his peers and went on to represent his nation at the sport he loved.

RJ Ride Guide's Shows are performed by Rich Johnson who is a qualified mountain bike
instructor who also happens to be one of the countries best mountain bike trick / trials riders
who has worked with Blue Peter, Top Gear and Britain's Got Talent.
Rich in his commentary explains the intricacies of each trick, the painstaking process taken to learn each new trick, the time commitment and dedication it takes to succeed.
Rich cannot stress strongly enough how important maintenance is on your bike and that wearing of a cycling helmet, gloves and pads can only help if you have an accident. He also talks about his active life style and the reasons for staying fit, not drinking or smoking or taking drugs and most important staying on the right side of the law.
