Dandy Von Diamond
Dandy’s first forays into the world of DJing started playing ‘proper’ records in the back room bunker of a West Country biker bar instead of working towards his degree. Sadly the bar in question is no longer with us, but 20 years later Dandy is still at it! With guest appearances at events & club nights across the country, Dandy loves music in a myriad of styles, but has a special soft spot for the glam & the gothic! Dandy is delighted to have been a part of the Hard Rock Hell Radio team since August 2020.

Mad Steve
Born in Hampshire breed in Wales with a love of all things Leeds United. Music-wise, Steve’s a big fan of Nirvana, S7X and Iron Maiden. A big fan of local gigs, Steve believes the music scene is key to keeping what we all love to listen to, alive. Steve started radio when he was 16 at a local hospital radio station, but left due to them not wanting a rock show, so after taking a long break until til around 2009, Steve discovered internet stations and the rest, as they say, is history!

Robbie Johns
Like you, Robbie loves his music and especially admires searching for and finding new bands. He got into radio mainly to have an outlet to express his love for music and his wanting to share it. There is nothing better than unearthing a hidden gem of a new band. Robbie loves all genres of music and listens to anything, especially rock and metal (hence the show!). One day he would love to interview Joan Jett, Dave Grohl, Lzzy Hale, Amy Lee, and Shirley Manson, amongst others who have been influential on his music tastes.

A female guitar prodigy. At the end of May 2020, Chantel was asked by Hard Rock Hell Radio to present a 2-hour show on the Bank Holiday Monday, following this, she was asked to be a regular weekly presenter every Monday evening. These are one-off shows not to be missed.

Roger Fauske
Roger Fauske has been presenting rock shows for the last 12 years. Music comes mainly from Finland, Iceland, Sweden, and Norway, with the Danes and Faroe Islanders making occasional appearances, and as well as the sounds, there are interviews, occasionally even sensible ones. As well as the outstanding music, you also get to hear occasionally comical attempts to pronounce Finnish words. The show goes out monthly these days due to its presenter spending most of his time getting to grips with the world of Quantum and Astrophysics (which ironically make the Finnish words seem relatively straightforward).
