Harvey Williamson

Background

Hi – It’s Harvey.  I present Thursday evenings Musicgasm and Sunday afternoons on Mix 56.

I grew up in Southport and joined the Hospital Radio station there when I was 15. A few years later I went to Israel for my first paid job in radio.

After that I joined the BBC first of all at Radio Shropshire and then moved to London in 1990.

I worked mainly in radio news travelling all over the world including places life Afghanistan and Iraq.

I moved to Media City in Salford in 2011 as part of the 5-Live move up north. I left the BBC in 2020 and shortly afterwards joined Cheshire’s Mix 56.

Away from radio I enjoy travelling, eating out and red wine.

A little known fact – I am a Correspondence Chess player and have been British Champion and have achieved the Grandmaster title!
