Actor, comedian and magician Martin Daniels is set to join 大象传媒 Radio Lincolnshire as a regular presenter.
听
Martin, son of magician Paul, is well known to Lincolnshire audiences for his starring roles in the Lincoln Theatre Royal's pantomimes.
听
His background also includes TV, the stage and, of course, magic.
听
Martin will be on the air between 9.30am and 1.00pm every weekday from Monday 3 April with presenter Maria Richmond who is already well known for her work on Radio Lincolnshire and Lincs FM.
听
He said: "I am really excited about the show because I've enjoyed 27 years in show business and I see radio as a brand new challenge for me - it's a great opportunity.
听
"It's fantastic from a personal point of view as well because I've spent quite a few years jetting around the world working on cruise ships which sounds glamorous but is quite difficult when you have young children."
听
The new show will include celebrity interviews, phone-ins and competitions plus help and advice on lifestyle issues.
听
Radio Lincolnshire Managing Editor Charlie Partridge said: "Martin is a great new recruit for 大象传媒 Radio Lincolnshire.
听
"Anyone who has seen him on stage or TV will know that he is a very warm, funny guy with a deep love of this area."
