Mickey Duke
Co-founder / 1BrightonFM
@1Brightonradio
Mickey has been a DJ and record collector since 1993 and his focus has always been left of centre, the ‘other room’ sound. He started promoting at the end of the 90’s and had the pleasure of playing next to and hosting such luminaries as Norman Jay, 4 Hero, Melle Mel and the Furious five, Daddy G, James Lavelle & UNKLE amongst many others.
He had the idea 18 months or so ago to start a radio station as he felt the music he loved wasn’t being represented. So, he started a community interest company and 1 Brighton FM was born. As one of three directors, it’s a labour of love but he wouldn’t have it any other way!
“I'm extremely honoured to have been asked to be part of this and with some well known industry names in there too. I hope i can bring a fresh perspective to the day with ideas from someone very new to the radio industry, wet behind the ears you may say! I have my own ideas about where i want 1 Brighton FM to be but i'm very much looking forward to hearing and learning from everyone involved. Thanks for the opportunity.”
