Our Team
Alan joined the station in 1991, and now presents Brockley News, Star Profile and Rewind, as well as co-presenting Alpha Sessions with his wife Emma Joyce. It was Alan's idea to have a regular weekly news programme focussing on events in and around the hospital, so in July 2010 he launched Brockley News. He has also been a driving force behind our HBA Award entries over recent years, and these have brought considerable success to Radio Brockley. Alan is also our Media Librarian.
At the 2019 HBA Awards, the Alpha Sessions team of Alan, Emma Joyce and Ron Laver won the Gold award for Special Event for the "Alpha Sessions 10" weekend of programmes.
Carina is the voice of many of our jingles.
Chris’s passion for country music came about when he moved to Texas and discovered Brad Paisley, Rascal Flatts and Alan Jackson on the radio. He quickly got hooked, and brought the country bug back with him five years later. An audio producer by day, Chris started “Chris Country” as a joke between friends, and it’s snowballed since then! He’s interviewed numerous country singers including Kacey Musgraves, Lady Antebellum and Eric Church, and he’s delighted that his show is heard not only on Chris Country, but around 20 other stations across the UK. Away from the studio, Chris is a fan of VW camper vans, cider and basset hounds. He’s married to his Californian sweetheart Andrea, who prefers the American weather to ours!
