Start your weekend on a hearty breakfast served up by Tony Francis
Tony now lives in Northern Ireland having moved there from Staffordshire England in 2017. His love for music started at the early age of 12 and he was the resident DJ at his local youth club, progressing into mobile DJ work, then night clubs & then radio. Needless to say that passion has never died and has hosted shows on many radio stations over the years, he has earned the tag line “your fun loving dependable friend” which will be evident as you get to know him.
He has hosted many formats of radio shows from breakfast to drivetime to late night love, and has his very popular Sunday morning show The Basement Of Love.
Tony also plays Santa Claus each year, visiting houses & entertaining the children and adults alike. He is a regular Santa Claus at the Newry theatre Northern Ireland, and also does the Santa Claus voice overs for many radio stations – you would almost think he was the real deal with his knowledge of Father Christmas and his personality.
On March 25th 2022, Tony completed a radio first! He produced and presented 10 different LIVE shows over a period of 24 hours in aid of The British Red Cross in Ukraine. Radiothons have been done before with presenters doing there little bit then going home.
