Jason Lewis
Age: 21 x2 plus a few or 45 in the real world
Jason arrived in the Falklands, the home of his Grandmother for the first time in 1989 as an 18 year old from Surrey. Jason has been working part-time on Falklands radio for years, they just can’t get rid of him. It started of innocently enough, asked to come in for a chat for a few minutes about the latest albums being released it soon turned into the chart show which he presented until 2014. It soon became apparent he wasn’t satisfied with just his radio show and therefore you would often find him covering other shows including Soul blues rock n roll, best of and the eighties/nineties shows. With Jason Growing up in the Eighties the music from that era does heavily effect his musical tastes, however you won’t find many genres he doesn’t like. Many of us have guilty pleasure, music that we listen to but wouldn’t admit to most, however since Jason has been given access to the airways he has come out about his love for novelty music, he has a huge collection, only probably beaten by one other in the Islands and he works for the radio station as well. Outside of Radio Jason is normal on the outside and works in the IT industry. He however like most in the Falkland’s does a whole host of other activities including tour guiding, which fills his needs of local history, AMDRAM, where he will act, produce, direct and help backstage. Plus he has a wife and two kids to keep him sane.
