Miguel da Silva brings a blend of Dutch, Portuguese, and British flavour to the station!
Growing up he listened to legendary offshore stations like Radio Caroline, Radio Veronica, Radio Mi Amigo, and Laser 558. His passion for radio started when he was 14 when he did his first show on a small Dutch pirate station called Radio Idefix. Since then, he’s been on stations across the UK and the Netherlands, from pirate to local radio, internet radio, and even hospital radio.
When he’s not behind the mic, Miguel enjoys watching sci-fi, exploring nature, and delving into the paranormal. He’s a lifelong Pink Floyd fan, and loves The Lord of the Rings trilogy. He is married to Hayley and has a cat called Jagga.
Join him on Miguel’s Mixtape for a dynamic mix of the best music. Each week the show has a theme. It could be all music about dreaming, time, a specific genre or decade. Sometimes it’s a mixed bag of music from the 60’s to current hits.
Miguel is thrilled to be part of the XLR Radio family and looks forward to keeping you company on the station!
