Connor Gray / Radio Presenter

Connor is obsessive about music across most genres but draws a line through musicals, heavy metal and traditional Nashville Grand Ole Opry style country music. Connors brings a unique approach to his show in that each track is connected in some way to the preceding track.

Connors interest in music was initially inherited from his parents, listening to the likes of Queen, U2 Coldplay and Bob Marley. When he was 4 years old Father Christmas brought him four CDs including U2’s All That You Can’t Leave Behind. Connor is keen on esoteric music which is why his choice of studio guest would be the visual artist, university lecturer vocalist and lyricist with the post punk band Dry Cleaning.

Connor has long harboured ambitions of getting into radio and in addition to SHCR he has been presenting for two years on Redhill Hospital Radio and prior to that  Radio Jackie. Connor is not a regular concert goer preferring to listen to music at home although he recalls seeing Blur and U2 but his favourite concert was seeing English Teacher in a small venue in 2024. However an artist he would love to have seen live would be the Hounslow rapper MF Doom who also performed as Metal Face as he was prone to perform wearing a metal face mask.

If Connor had a chance to get away from it all it would be spent island hopping around the Pacific. He may have much chance to catch up on his much loved films based on Marvel comics (definitely not DC comics) but he would be unlikely to track down his favourite film 1001.

But all roads lead back to music and although Connor used to do martial arts, he  is never happier than at home plugging a keyboard into a computer and creating his own music and putting it on CD.
