All about Fern

Kevin has been 'Fern On The Wireless' for quite some time now, but he began his show business career ... on a milk round!

Kevin Fernihough

That was a few years ago ... and after that he trained as an electrician at JCB.

These days you'd be hard pressed to get him to change a plug, but he's certainly got the know-how!

Electricity has always played a part in his career, and it didn't take long for the sparks to fly in his broadcast work.

Fern cut his teeth at 大象传媒 Radio Derby working on an award winning youth show where he worked with the former host of 'The Word' Terry Christian.

He moved to Cumbria in the mid-eighties and you might recall his time as presenter of 'Open Air'.

After a break of a few years working in commercial radio, Fern made his return to 大象传媒 Radio Cumbria in early 2000, heading back to his home territory at 大象传媒 Radio Stoke in 2002.

After other presentation stints at 大象传媒 Radio Northampton and 大象传媒 Radio Derby, Fern's been drawn back to Cumbria, where he's back on the radio on 大象传媒 Radio Cumbria every weekday afternoon.

Away from the office, Kevin loves his music and is also a big film-fan, so you'll also find him in the local cinema.

Failing that, he'll be lying under a tree, dreaming of that lottery win.

He says, 鈥淚f it wasn't for the mortgage I'd happily do this job free of charge (but don't tell the boss).鈥�
