A. Clay Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 (edited) this is somerset.co.uk Young Jack's radio record Wednesday, February 04, 2009, 12:04 AN eight-year-old boy from Weston has set a world record for becoming the youngest male radio presenter. Jack Hill's feet cannot touch the floor in the studios at STAR Fm Radio, but that has not stopped him from presenting an hour-long slot every month, playing songs from Madonna to Mika. The youngster, who is a pupil at Walliscote Primary School, caught the bug from dad Bob, who is also a DJ. He said: "It's all Jack wants to do, music is his life." "He comes home from school and goes straight on his decks. "Normally, Jack is quite shy, but when he is on his decks he is a completely different person and so confident." Jack started spinning records at discos and earned the nickname Jack on the Box, because he had to stand on a step to reach the equipment. He said: "It feels cool being the youngest DJ on air in Britain. "My friends say I'm not a DJ because they don't know who I am." Jack owns his own set of professional DJ equipment, which he bought using gig money and Christmas and birthday presents. It was during a gig that he was spotted by STAR programme controller Darren Daley, who said: "I brought him out on stage and said, look, this was your DJ, and there was a load of cheering and shouting, so I wondered if he would like to be on the radio." Jack now has a regular show on the last Sunday of every month, between 3pm and 4pm. He is also working on a plan to do a joint show with another record-breaker in Italy, Steffano Vennerri, who holds the record for the longest non-stop show ever at 135 hours.
