Edinburgh Radio legend, Jay Crawford, strengthens the team at Edge Radio, Scotland’s Hit Music Station, with DJ’s Micky Gavin and Yasmin Zemmoura (Yazz).
Forth 1’s Throwback favourite and veteran DJ, Micky Gavin, has announced that he will be joining rival Edinburgh station Edge to present Afternoon Drive.
Micky said; “I can’t wait to get going on Edinburgh’s newest radio station. Joining such a brilliant team, playing the hottest hits and chatting chatting about everything Edinburgh each weekday.”
Having worked with Jay Crawford at both Forth 1 and Real Radio, Micky is excited to help build on Edge Radio’s summer success following a bumper year for listeners in 2022.
Jay Crawford said, “We’ve had a brilliant year so it seems a perfect time to strengthen our Edge Radio team. Micky and I have worked together off and on for 25 years and he’s a fantastic presenter. Yazz has such a lovely radio voice and personality to match. I’m delighted they’ve agreed to join us.”
Yazz, whose dulcet tones will be making a welcome return to the Edinburgh airwaves, has spent the last 10 years in Belfast presenting on Q Radio.
Edinburgh super-fan Yazz will take on the weekend playing the biggest hits in the Afternoon.
Yazz said; ”I love Edinburgh and love the localness of Edge Radio. To be back working with Jay, Matt, Mark and Micky again excites me for the summer ahead.”
Edge Radio is available on DAB, online and mobile and will shortly be moving to studios in Edinburgh’s Stockbridge.
