Alex Cann

Alex presents the Tameside Radio morning show.

He's partial to a bubble bath, a lot of trips to the cinema, and is also a bit of a politics geek.

He's a great knowledge of chart music from across the decades, and presented on many different UK radio stations for the last 21 years, but most of all loves being a big part of the Tameside Radio team.

His favourite dessert is tiramisu, and his wife has the same birthday as him, a fact she is not a fan of.

You can hear Alex on Tameside Radio every weekday between 6am and 11am.

You can also follow Alex on twitter @alexbcann

 

HERE ARE SOME ALEX'S PREVIOUS SHOWS:

  It's emerged recently that the Full English Breakfast is in danger of dying out, as youngsters increasingly spurn the dish. Research has found that one in ten health conscious 18 to 34 year olds never tuck into one, whilst 14% only scoff one once a year. A further 20% only get their chops around eggs, bacon, sausage, beans, tomatoes and toast once every couple of months.

  This week, I watched The Social Dilemma on Netflix, and I would highly recommend that you give it a whirl. As one of the quotes at the beginning says: "Nothing vast enters the life of mortals without a curse" (Sophocles), and if you're anything like me, you'll be left questioning how much information you've given away to social media platforms over the years

  Not a lot makes the headlines from Belgium, but this week, a collection of cassette tapes was unearthed in the city of Ostend containing unreleased Marvin Gaye songs. The BBC reports it has potentially been there for over 40 years, and there are thought to be 66 demo songs.

• Alex Cann's Weekly Film Blog - 2nd May

  As I've been on holiday for the last week, I'm taking a break from the big screen to review something that captivated me recently on Netflix. Baby Reindeer tells an extraordinary true story across seven dramatic episodes. You'll struggle not to watch this whole thing in one sitting.

• Alex Cann's Weekly Film Blog - 9th April

  The first of two films based on that Newsnight interview with Prince Andrew hit Netfllix this week, and Scoop was a five star treat in my book. Based on three chapters of a book by producer Sam McAlister, who arranged te interview at Buckingham Palace and has since said it was "hard to keep a poker face" while he was speakin

• Alex Cann's Weekly Film Blog - 2nd April

  In a strange twist of fate, I've written in my other column this week about the troubles facing the Royal Mail in hitting delivery targets and turning a profit, as parcels take over and letters fade into the background.

• Alex Cann's Weekly Film Blog - 26th March

  If you're a John Wick fan, there will inevitably be comparisons with pulpy new action film Monkey Man, which is out this weekend. Armed with little more than a monkey mask and a shedload of grit and determination, Dev Patel's Kid won't rest until the men who took everything from him get what's coming to them.
