STUART CAMERON BIOGRAPHY

Stuart is on air at the moment on RTI Radio on Sky Radio Channel 0195 every Wednesday at 10pm throughout Europe and with Scottish Rugby Radio on Sky 0195 each Monday at 9pm.

Stuart has 30 years of broadcasting experience starting in 1977 with 12 years at BBC Radio Oxford followed by six years at Fox FM, helping them to win the Sony Award in 1990 for Radio Station Of The Year. He has also worked for the legendary Radio Caroline, CMRPulse and BBC Radio Thames Valley before joining KICK FM and BANBURY FM.

He now freelances for Sky Sports, Setanta TV, BBC Radio Scotland and RTE Radio (Ireland) as well as Manx Radio on the Isle of Man and Radio Borders in the South of Scotland as a sports reporter, commentator and presenter. He covers rugby for both the Southern Reporter and Border Telegraph newspapers in the South of Scotland and has regular columns in the Border Events magazine as well as a number of rugby programmes in the area. 

He became involved with the media following his successful athletics career. As a high jumper he was Scottish Champion twice, held the British Age 16 record and was the first 13 year old ever to jump 6 feet in Britain.

After a couple of years in Printing and Publishing including a stint at Robert Maxwell's Pergamon Press he joined Oxford City Football Club in the Promotions department. His time spent with the legendary Bobby Moore (England's Football World Cup winning captain from 1966) and Harry Redknapp (Moore's sidekick) was an amazing experience. It was Bobby and Harry's first managerial roles and an exciting time for the club. "I remember Harry's young son Jamie Redknapp kicking a football about at the time long before he played for England!" recalls Stuart.

As a promoter he has worked with some of the biggest names in entertainment including Boyzone featuring Ronan Keating and in a series of major pop concerts he gave many stars their first break.  As a performer with his band he appeared at some of the biggest venues in the UK including the Liverpool Empire and Oxford's Apollo Theatre and toured with Boyzone and Peter Andre in the UK.

Stuart runs a record label and TV production company and had a placing in the UK Music Video Charts when he produced and directed the full-length documentary "Dennis Locorriere In Oxford" featuring the former lead singer with Dr Hook. In front of the cameras he acted in the BBC TV production of the film "Death Of A Son" starring Lynn Redgrave and "Elizabeth - Virgin Queen" with Aimee McDuff (also for the BBC) and was presenter of two independent Television country music shows, "Guitars 'n Cadillacs" and "New Country" as well as narrating several documentaries shown on national TV in the UK. His most recent TV appearances were on the ITV Drama "Distant Shores" starring Peter Davison and Samantha Bond, and BBC TV's "55 Degrees North."

As well as recording he has found more success as narrator of the best selling video "Truckin'  Crazy" and has appeared on many TV and Radio commercials. He also narrated "Red Sails And The Sunset" which was shown throughout the UK, originally broadcast on Grampian and Border Television. 

In January 2003 he was voted "Overseas Broadcaster Of The Year" - a prestigious award from the CMA (Country Music Association) to mark his "Outstanding Contribution to Country Music". This added to his UK Radio Award in 2001 for "Services to Country Music" and the "Promoter of the Year" and "European Personality of the Year" accolades in both the European Country Music Association and Germany's International Country Music Association Awards for his work in the field of country music.
