RADIO 1 DANIEL P CARTER ROCK SHOW

Daniel has also taken over as the voice of rock, hosting BBC Radio One’s Rock Show on a Monday night.  Helping new up and coming bands, as well as giving an airing to the older classics, Daniel uses his experience of being in a rock band to find the best music in the genre.

Daniel P. Carter says "Ever since I was a kid and stole my brother's cassettes of Iron Maiden and Highway To Hell by AC/DC my life was changed. Through my teens, each quality album was a new and thrilling discovery that was shared between mates at the weekend.

“To now be at the helm of the only dedicated rock and metal show on the world's greatest radio station is the most exciting thing ever. It's an opportunity for me to spread the word to both true believers and curious rock insomniacs. Every time I hear a record that really moves me, I am as excited as I was when I first got into heavy music. It's this excitement about new music that I want to bring to the show every week."

Daniel judged the National Grand Final in 2011 at The O2 putting his enormous rock knowledge to the test as he judged for Live and Unsigned!
