Martin Reay is your original Northern Boy, born in Carlisle in England.  He’s been DJ’ing since the late 90’s, and in the early “Noughties” he got his break in Radio on local commercial stations in Cumbria in the North of England, he’s also been on Stations in Lancashire, Yorkshire and the West Midlands.

Luckily for us at 93.6 Global Radio, Martin has also got a wealth of radio experience on the other side of the mic having been the Group ICT Manager for a group of stations in the UK.

Martin has very broad tastes in music and doesn’t limit himself to any genre or musical decade, he’s as comfortable with Country music as he is with 90’s Dance Music and pretty much everything in between.  You’re guaranteed to hear the best of everything when he’s on air.

Martin Reay loves live music.  Here are just some of the acts he says he’s been lucky enough to see:

The Lighthouse Family, Gabrielle, Mel C in Carlisle, Eminem in Glasgow, Culture Club, The Communards, Red Hot Chilli Peppers supported by James Brown in Manchester, Right Said Fred in Marbella, The Eagles in Birmingham, Jedward in Barnsley, Take That in Sheffield and Manchester, The Bootleg Beatles in Stratford on Avon and Nottingham, Billy Joel in Manchester, The Pet Shop Boys in Marbella,
