Andy Bush began his DJ journey somewhat accidentally, without any
prior interest in radio. After university, he moved to Bristol to
play in a band and took on a day job at BT to pay the bills. One
day, during his lunch break, he stumbled upon a careers fair in
Clifton where they were advertising for Traffic News readers.
Despite not being a driver, he saw it as a unique opportunity and
recorded a demo on a cassette tape. Surprisingly, he got the job
and this marked his start in radio, around the year 2000. Working
for a company called Traffic Link in Bristol's Evening Post
building, Andy had the chance to dial into various shows throughout
the day. This experience provided him with valuable knowledge and
skills in radio, particularly in understanding the direction of a
piece and supporting the presenter, as opposed to going off track.
He also learned the importance of concise delivery and being
mindful of time constraints. Thus, Andy's radio career began
unexpectedly, but it set him on an adventurous path in the world of
broadcasting. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
