It was the famous Emperor Rosko of Radio One fame who first spotted the potential in a young Nicky Horne. Rosko met Nicky whilst he was hanging around Radio One to see who he could see. Two weeks later Nicky became Rosko’s personal assistant, and a roadie for the famous Rosko Roadshow. Instead of hanging around outside radio one he started to spend time inside and very quickly became the youngest presenter to broadcast on the network learning his craft from Rosko.

Nicky was a regular interviewer for the Radio 1 pop magazine show “Scene and Heard”, but supplemented his wages by joining a radio station in a biscuit factory! United Biscuits Network was a closed circuit radio station that covered all of the factories in their empire, and it was from here Nicky went to the fledgling Capital Radio, soon to become the first music commercial station in the UK. Nicky was given the rock show “Your Mother Wouldn’t Like It” for 13 award winning years, thus the show became part of radio folk law.

Nicky has the unique honour of being the only presenter to have had regular shows on every single national commercial station, and on Radio’s One and Two.

Now after a short break of 19 years the veteran broadcaster is back at his spiritual home Gcap, and is broadcasting shows on Planet Rock and Capital Gold. Early next year he will also present a new weekend series on Classic FM.

His TV work is just as diverse and just as impressive. He was for four years the face of “American Football” on Channel 4 and Sky, and has presented many sports programmes, including “ATP Tennis Worldwide” and “Indycar” on ITV. Music has also been a feature of his TV career with “Rock Steady” and “EARSAY”, which he devised and presented for Channel 4.

Nicky diversified into artist management and was for 18 “fascinating” months the manager of 70’s icon Mike Oldfield.

Nicky is the voice and face for many blue chip corporate clients and is in much demand as a consultant, voice over and presenter.
