ALEX EAST
Alex has been DJing for over 25 years. He started out, as so many do in hospital radio in his home town of High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire.
After brief stints in Spain and again in the UK he moved to the USA and was hired a drive-time host on a Spanish Radio station.
He then took on a Saturday night dance show imaginatively called "Let's Dance" which again attracted a large audience. He then decided to take his old Pub Quiz format and translate it to the radio and so Eastie's Pub Quiz was born. Every week Alex plays something dreadful on the show which lead to tens of people emailing him to say that he should do a whole show of them and so Eastie's Diabolical Discs was born.
Rock 'n' Roll was always his first love though, so he decided to write a book called The Encyclopedia of Rock 'n' Roll. He decided that the book would make a great radio show, so It's Only Rock 'n' Roll took to the airwaves and was very well received around the world, being aired on radio stations on 4 continents and drawing fans from every corner of the world.
Alex now lives in California with his wife and two sons but you can enjoy Alex's shows right here on Radio Bracknell Forest.
