Dave
Halls has spent a great deal of time working in and around the Erewash area,
particularly sharing working hours between offices in Derby and Ilkeston.He met fellow Erewash Sound presenter Ian Perry whilst working as an interviewer and producer for BBC Radio Derby, in particular interviewing pop stars at Derby’s Pink Coconut Nightclub. When the Saturday night presenter seat became vacant at BBC Radio Derby, Dave successfully slotted in and quickly made the show – The Saturday Night Dance Party – very much his own.
As well as featuring star interviews, Dave’s BBC Local Radio show was renowned for airing new releases, reflecting local night life, airing vox pops and album reviews for which he invited Ian in to produce, and creating an essential soundtrack for anyone getting ready to party the night away locally.
Dave then also joined Radio Link - Derby's Hospital Radio Station, and later, Pride FM, also in Derby. He’s even spent a considerable amount of time on the day job working with Ian, but has recently put the office career aside to firstly concentrate on establishing what is now a hugely successful Mobile Disco Roadshow, and, along with this, he’s also pursuing a separate career as an electrician.
Dave’s broadcasting experience and other skills base forms yet another part of the developing set up and quality within the presentation team here at Erewash Sound.
