Description: Described by Radio Times as 'one of the greats of British contemporary music broadcasting and an independent champion of great music' and by the Mail On Sunday as 'a national treasure', Bob has been at the centre of the British music industry for nearly forty years.
Few people have broken as many bands into the mainstream consciousness as Bob Harris ... through his work on BBC Radio 1, the legendary Whistle Test TV shows on BBC 2 and his current programmes on BBC Radio 2. He is passionate about music and his infectious enthusiasm permeates his work. When Bob gives his support to an artist, people listen and his shows have become the 'Holy Grail' for acts worldwide. His tireless promotion of new and cutting edge music is second to none.
Bob has written books, newspaper articles and magazine columns. As founding co-director of 'Time Out', compiler of two rock reference books and his work through three decades for the British music press, Bob is an acknowledged author and archivist. In 2001 his autobiography 'The Whispering Years' was published by BBC Worldwide.
Bob’s depth of understanding of popular music – its origins and influences – is immense. As a voice on the radio – reassuring, knowledgeable and enthusiastic – he is unique.
