John Collins

John has been with Radio Royal from the beginning in 1977. His talent, skill and knowledge has contributed to the success of Radio Royal to date. 

He presents Royal Country and The Royal Yacht with John Collins. He said the best part of his job is meeting the next generation (and occasionally the previous ones) of great broadcasters. When John is not at Radio Royal he can be found running Countryline Radio and doing voiceover work. He previously studied Computer Science at Heriot Watt University. Since 1985 he has worked in Radio for the BBC, commercial radio stations, Radio Royal and has lectured radio for over a decade. 

He enjoys music, travelling and travelling to music. He also has an interest in trains and buses, and has a train set in his Studio. John’s favourite artist at the moment is Brad Paisley.  His favourite song is Tim McGraw’s Humble And Kind. He says people may be surprised to know that he is good in the kitchen. 

In his own words he is always very busy.
