Denise Southworth
For all but 10 years of my life I have lived within walking distance of the Legacy studio and its an incredible privilege to have a show in my spiritual and cultural home and amongst my own beloved African/Caribbean community. Although my show is called The Music Of Black Origin Show and plays everything from 1920's Negro spirituals to current artists, it is much more than that. I try to have as many local people on the show with their stories that may not otherwise make the mainstream and I often have guests who were raised in our community and gone on to make a great success of their lives
in business, sport and entertainment who can inspire others to do the same . My ambition is to make my community realise we are as good as any other community - all we need is the chance. Join me on the MOBO SHOW, Fridays, 10am -12 noon
Natural Mystic
I became interested in music growing up around family and people who played music on a sound system. That's where my interest in music came from. I started playing music as a DJ around 12 years ago when I joined Peace Radio which became Legacy 90.1 FM in 2008 so I was with the radio station right from the start. I feel like I am a natural DJ, hence the name 'Natural Mystic'. and although I listen to and play all sorts of genres, I concentrate mostly on roots, rock and reggae music for my shows.
Join me on Mondays from 6pm to 10pm.
Fitzy B
DJ FITZY B every Sunday with the Sunday Groove, and every Monday with The Infusion Show.
