Stuart has also been seen on many tv programmes and films over the years as a walk on. he has appeared in The Bill, EastEnders, Holby, Star Wars, Jack & the Beanstalk and
many others.
Over the last few years Stuart has again been involved in radio, more behind the scenes with various internet radio companies.
But now he is really looking forward to getting back to his first love, presenting. Stuart said “I can’t wait to start broadcasting, picking my own music again and formatting the show, just like radio used to be. It’s going to be great” You can find out how ‘The Golden Jukebox’ project came to be by visiting his website
