Chris Mountain Chris Mountain lives in North Bristol and has had a great interest in radio since childhood presenting for his family his own programmes on a tape recorder and a Dansette record player. A friend from that time now presents on Hong Kong radio. Chris was for some time programme planning chair at Bristol Hospital Radio where he presented a wide diversity of programmes. He has also broadcast on the RSL station for Portishead, Point FM. Within a busy life he has fitted in an Open University degree and loves travelling to far flung places such as Australia, New Zealand and Iran. If he is pushed he says his all time favourite country in the world is Bhutan but also says it’s the next one being planned or visited at the time. He believes that stations like ours can be a force for good in the community they serve and is happy to help in anyway he can to make Thornbury FM a continuing success. Musically he has quite catholic tastes liking most music listening to it at least once before giving an opinion on its merits. He does however confess to hating “screeching female opera singers and heavy rock music” preferring the mellower sounds of Soul and Jazz. Join Chris for the “The Afternoon Affair ” every Tuesday at 2pm for a show of relaxing music, comedy, lifestyle interviews and the classical chill. You can also find him with “The Jazz Session” at 8pm every Sunday where you can be assured of a great listen as Vintage tracks from the 20's to present day will be played.
