1985 - sporting a beard

Former motor mechanic and show salesman, Adrian Juste started as a radio DJ with Leicester's local BBC station in 1969 and spent six years there as disc jockey and producer, interrupted by a two year spell at Birmingham's local  BRMB station as their breakfast presenter. He began working for Radio 1 as far back as 1977 as the anonymous voice on countless trails and was given his first show on a Saturday morning in April 1978.

Adrian's shows are well remembered for his distinctive lively style of presentation where he included audio comedy clips between records, Many Made by Adrian himself. His clips included 'The Grimleys', 'Fawlty Towers', Carry On', and 'Tony Hancock' dispersed with pop music of the day. His shows were normally scheduled at weekend lunchtimes. He was inspired by former Light Programme/Radio One presenter Jack Jackson (1906-1978). He was a popular presenter both on the radio and at club venues during the 1980's and 1990's. He recorded the voiceover for the new Radio 1 FM transmitter tests broadcast from 1988.

Adrian was sadly sacked from the station he loved in 1994 by Matthew Bannister, after 17 years. Adrian said that Matthew had instructed one of his reports to inform him of the decision by telephone one evening at Egton House.

He has since made appearances on Radio Carousel and Jewel FM and more recently was heard broadcasting live from Belfast on new years eve, 2001, along with Mike Read, Richard Skinner and DLT!

Adrian currently works in advertising and is a writer. You can see Adrian's view on the 1990's changes at Radio 1 by clicking here.
