S P O T L I G H T Jim Hawkins @Jimallthetime jimhawkins.co.uk There’s no better way to start our spotlight feature than with the man himself BBC’s one and only Mr Jim Hawkins. Jim hugely experienced with more than thirty years of radio presenting and producing, for both the BBC and commercial stations, at local, regional and national network levels has become a true Shropshire gem. His constant support for local businesses and his care for the general public has earned respect from listeners across the county and beyond. ‘Jim uses the power of radio well to make a positive difference to peoples lives’ P6 SHROPROCKS.COM MAR/APR Winner of a Silver Sony Award, and nominated (2006) for Sony Speech Broadcaster Of The Year Jim’s made his own inuential mark in radio. During his career he has interviewed notable gures including Gordon Brown, Gene Simmons and Steve Cropper and not so notable gures such as myself. Personally I found Jim a pleasure to meet, his kind professional demeanor shone through. Not all local radio presenters have the time and commitment that Jim offers his listeners. You can catch his show ‘Jim Hawkins in the morning’ 9am till midday Monday to Friday on BBC Radio Shropshire. Jim also plays in local band ‘Green Moon’ an acoustic outt with an electric heart. Playing atmospheric americana, folk with rustic roots. So if that tickles your fancy you can head on over to twitter and check them out at: @GreenMoonBand
