Annie MacManus, Host of the Annie Mac Show, BBC Radio 1, 9-15-06
The Annie Mac Show on Radio 1 began in July 2004, when, working as a production assistant on Zane Lowe's show, she impressed Radio 1 bosses with her demo's and her determination.
Since then her show has gone from strength to strength, attracting a host of loyal followers from around the world, and Annie has established herself firmly as part of Radio 1's “In New Music We Trust” evening output.
Annie is also a talented club DJ and is booked regularly to play the UK’s most credible clubs. She has just completed a DJ tour entitled Annie Mac Presents, where she personally chose DJs, both established and up-and-coming, and brought them to play in her favorite clubs. 2006 will see another UK tour, as well as dates all over the world.
Annie is a regular contributor to BBC2's The Culture show, reviewing new music releases. She has also done work for MTV2, presenting the cult program Gonzo.
Since her show began, Radio 1 has been working Annie hard. This year has seen her stand-in for Jo Whiley, Zane Lowe and Pete Tong on their respective shows and she is the official DEP for the Early Breakfast Show.
