Adrian Love

Adrian Love (born 3 August1944 in York – 11 March 1999) was a British radio presenter. He was the son of musician Geoff Love.

He attended Tottenham Grammar School and after working for Burton the tailors, he began his radio career in 1966 working for Radio City on the Shivering Sands Fort. He them moved ashore with a brief stint on the BBC Light Programme which in turn led to work on the BBC World Service.

He then took on the role of station manager at UBN, based at the United Biscuits works in Harlesden. Whilst there he recruited subsequent Capital colleagues Roger Scott and Graham Dene, as well as giving Dale Winton his first radio break. The launch of commercial radio in 1973 saw him move first to LBC and then to Capital Radio, where he stayed for eight years.

In 1981, he returned to the BBC, presenting programmes for Radio One, Radio Two and Radio Four. Other stations he worked at included BFBS, Classic FM and his last four years as a presenter at BBC Southern Counties Radio.

In December 1997, he was seriously injured in a car crash from which he never completely recovered, eventually succumbing to a collapsed lung over a year later. He left behind a wife and three children.
