Tony Shawcross is a veteran soul DJ and broadcaster whose musical journey spans decades of involvement in the UK soul scene. His passion for soul began in the early 1970s, exploring classic sounds and attending influential soul events like Wigan Casino, The Ritz All-Dayer and Blackpool Mecca — experiences that laid the foundation for his lifelong connection to the music.
Over the years, Tony expanded his musical repertoire to include jazz, funk and contemporary soul, playing at a wide range of events and festivals across the North West and beyond. His deep knowledge of music and natural ability to connect with audiences has shaped a respected presence both in clubs and on the airwaves.
