Ian Perry is on-air every Sunday morning from 10am easing you into a 'Lazy Sunday', and can also be heard on local news bulletins, as well as occasional cover for other presenters too!
Having caught the radio bug by listening to mid-80s offshore station Laser 558 and from the launch of Radio Trent in Derby in 1987, the airwaves called and Ian joined Derby’s hospital radio station – Radio Link – often at the helm of roadshows with future BBC Radio Derby presenter – the late Andy Potter, who would later be his best-man!
Ian also has experience working on BBC Radio Derby on Saturday night programming in the 90s, and short-term radio stations Valley Radio (Ripley - 1996), Trust FM (Chesterfield - 1996) and Pride FM (Derby - 1997-2002).
Sitting at his dining table one day, both Ian and Jeff Martin formulated plans to launch Erewash Sound and duly did so in late 2004, ahead of a short-term FM trial in 2005, an internet-only service from 2007 and the full time FM launch in 2010.
Ian makes no secret of his adoration for Aussie pop princess Kylie Minogue both on and off-air and also likes watching motor racing, fettling his car and playing constant catch up on Classic Coronation Street. At the last count, he was only around 200 episodes behind!
