🎪 MAD JACK’S TRAVELLING CIRCUS – WHAT. A. NIGHT. 🎪

We’re still buzzing from last night at Whittles Oldham – the Mad Jack’s Travelling Circus reunion gig was an overwhelming success! The venue was packed, the crowd was unreal, and the music? Next level. 💥🎸

A huge thank you to everyone who came down – it was a proper Oldham night to remember.

🎤 The phenomenal Andy Lee delivered a support set that raised the roof.
🌟 The ever-brilliant Rocking Horse finished things off in style.
🎪 But Mad Jack’s Travelling Circus stormed the Nifty UK Stage like they’d never been away.

Oh – and in case you missed him, a very over-excited Big Al was on hosting duties… and he was LOVING it. 😄

Back in the ’80s, Ozzy Osbourne was touring with Mötley Crüe – and things got predictably wild. One sunny afternoon, in a moment of “who can out-crazy who,” Ozzy dropped to the pavement, found a trail of live ants… and snorted the entire line of them through a straw. 🐜😳

Why? Even Ozzy probably couldn’t tell you.

Nikki Sixx (who watched in disbelief) said it best: “We knew right then, we couldn’t compete with Ozzy.”

Moral of the story? Stay weird, but maybe stick to energy drinks. 😂

Rest in peace legend! 💔

🌟 ELLA – THE QUIET ONE? THINK AGAIN!
(Weekdays 10pm–Midnight, but her party starts way earlier.)

You know Ella as the youngest, quietest presenter on Nifty UK Radio, right? Well… that’s only until the music drops.

Flashback to a summer holiday in Faliraki (yes, with an i, but close enough). Ella was so into the dance tunes at this legendary nightclub that she lost all sense of chill and started chucking glow sticks at the ceiling lights.

Why?
Because when the beat hits just right, the party queen inside takes over — and the only way to make sure everyone sees the vibe is to light up the whole club, glow-stick style.

The bouncers weren’t sure if they should stop her or join in. The DJ dedicated a tune. Ella made friends for life.

Now, she’s bringing that same unstoppable energy to your late-night drive, spinning tracks that make you want to dance like no one’s watching — even if your glow sticks are safely at home.

🎙️ 7pm – 10pm: Gaz Worrall – The Cat in the Hat 🐱🎩

More Manchester than Liam and Noel combined — that’s Gaz for you.

Legend has it, Gaz was once spotted at a gig wearing a hat so iconic it had its own postcode. Since then, he’s been known as “The Cat in the Hat” of Manchester’s airwaves, spinning tunes, tales, and the kind of banter that feels like a warm pint down the local.

He’s got a way with words and music that’s as sharp as the Northern wit we all love — a true Mancunian through and through.

Whether he’s reminiscing about gigs at the Hacienda or spinning the freshest hits, Gaz’s show from 7 to 10pm is the perfect blend of classic cool and modern groove.

Tune in, pull up a chair, and let Gaz take you on a musical journey only Manchester could produce.

🎙️ 4pm – 7pm: Gavin Reeves
🎩 Flat caps? Check.
👖 Polyester Farrar trousers? Double check.
🎳 Crown Green Bowling masterclasses with his son? Absolutely.

When Gavin isn’t spinning the biggest tunes and cracking the best jokes on air, he’s busy passing down the fine art of Crown Green Bowling to the next generation — alongside his son, no less.

Picture this: two legends in matching flat caps and polyester Farrar trousers, teaching eager locals how to roll the perfect bowl while swapping stories about Manchester’s finest tunes.

It’s not just a game; it’s a family tradition. And it’s just as entertaining as his evening shows — full of laughs, local tales, and classic hits.

Tune in from 4pm to 7pm and catch the man who bowls as well as he broadcasts.

🎙️ 1pm – 4pm: Tim Fernley
🦘 Once got mistaken for an Australian pop star in a Bury garden centre.

It’s true* – Tim Fernley was just minding his own business, browsing begonias in Bury, when an entire coach-load of OAPs mistook him for Troy Blunderstone, a fictional Aussie singer famous for the 1987 hit "Kangaroo in the Rain."

Before he knew it, he was signing autographs, posing for selfies, and politely declining to sing anything in a didgeridoo accent.

These days, Tim keeps the madness on air — not in garden centres. His show from 1 to 4pm is a glorious mix of big tunes, witty chat, and musical curveballs that'll make your afternoon fly by.

Need a pick-me-up? Tim’s got you. Need a track that makes you go “YESSS!” out loud in Aldi? He’s got that too.

🎙️ 10am – 1pm: Mike Wallbank
🛸 Official Broadcaster to the Alien Goldfish Olympics

True story* — Mike once accidentally became the voice of the Alien Goldfish Olympics when a rogue weather balloon over Oldham bounced his show into deep space.

The goldfish loved him. Something about the voice, the dad jokes, and his talent for pronouncing 7-syllable fish names...

Now safely back on Earth, Mike brings the same otherworldly charm to Greater Manchester’s mid-mornings — mixing famous tunes, surreal stories, and unexpected moments that’ll have you laughing into your brew.

He’s the only man alive who can spin Blondie, Bon Jovi and Billie Eilish back-to-back — while narrating a dream about a breakdancing vicar in Droylsden.

🎙️ THE LEGEND OF JAY McCREARY – WEEKEND BREAKFAST KING
(Saturdays & Sundays, 7am–10am. And he’s already had two brews and a sausage barm.)

Jay McCreary is a proper radio legend. He’s done more breakfast shows than you’ve had hot dinners. But none quite compare to the Great Toast Incident of 2023…

Picture this:
Jay, 6:59am. Coffee in hand. Ready to hit the mic. Then – disaster. He drops an entire slice of hot, buttered toast face down on the studio mixing desk.

Slippery buttons. Crumbs in the faders. The faint smell of burnt Hovis every time you adjusted the volume.

What did Jay do?
He powered through like the seasoned pro he is.
He presented the whole first hour using only the panpots and a teaspoon.
He blamed a rogue pigeon.
To this day, his studio (Studio 2) smells like toast after 9am.

Expect this kind of chaotic brilliance every Saturday and Sunday morning.
🔥 Huge tunes
🫖 Steady supply of brews
🎤 Tales of radio history, suspicious jingles, and the occasional rant about people who reverse into parking spaces

🌙 SIMON WALKER – THE BOSS IS ON AFTER DARK
(10pm–Midnight weekdays… because spreadsheets don’t slap like synth-pop.)

By day, he’s station director.
By night, he’s Simon Walker on Nifty UK Radio – curating two glorious hours of wall-to-wall belters, smooth talk, and the kind of music that makes you fall in love with radio all over again.

💼 Yes, he runs the station.
🎧 Yes, he presents a killer late show.
🐷 And yes, Big Al calls him “Pig Vomit”... but only because “Cuddly Wuddly Power Boss” wouldn’t fit in the log.

Despite the on-air insults and backhanded compliments, there’s bromance brewing behind the scenes. Al and Simon: like Ant and Dec, if one of them did HR and the other stole his lunch.

What to expect from Simon’s Late Show:
🌌 Tunes that hit different after 10pm
💬 Stories, memories, and maybe a gentle rant about printer ink costs
📻 The finest music curation this side of a Radio 2 midlife crisis
