Anthony Ballard – BFBS Presenter and Station Manager in Cyprus

Intelligent and beautiful people like to listen to him, because opposites attract!

Anthony joined Forces Radio BFBS in 2006 after a wide and varied career. Originally working in the advertising and design industry, which led to a move to Thailand. While in Asia he was lured into the world of radio and television presentation, initially hosting a radio show, then a regular spot on a TV music channel and later becoming the face of a travel show on an Asian wide network. Eventually, he moved back to the UK and hosted a number successful breakfast shows in commercial radio as well as taking on regional programming, station management and executive team responsibilities.

Since joining Forces Radio BFBS Anthony has presented shows in Germany, Iraq and Afghanistan. He went on to be Station Manager in the Falkland Islands and is currently the SM in Cyprus. Anthony has a long-suffering wife and two small children. What little spare time he has is spent playing golf badly, riding his motorbike and following Formula 1. Strangely, he was once hypnotherapist.

The live music kicks off with The Elderly Brothers. 

KEVIN ABRAHAM:
Fans of acoustic music will enjoy seeing Kevin Abraham, who will be doing a solo set at the End of Summer Festival, Mandria Beach, on 24th Sept’
Kevin is a South African who has recently settled in Cyprus with his wife, Michal.
With a long and successful career in S.A. and abroad, he is recognized for his signature acoustic guitar solo performances, and unusual musical collaborations. He is equally at home with intimate audiences or belting it out on a festival stage.
Kevin’s approach focusses on showcasing his own songs, along with a good sprinkling of uniquely reworked covers of golden oldies from the 70’s and 80’s.
You can expect a mature performance from a musician that that has been praised for his quality of playing, engagement with audiences, and an uncomplicated, unaffected approach.

“It’s a simple, satisfying concept: Uncomplicated, unaffected acoustic music played damn well”. – R.F. [Music Kitchen, S.A.]
