Dawn Jamison

Dawn has been a volunteer and presenter with the station for a long time now and present the Kickin’ Country Show every Monday 8-10 pm. Her interest in country music started when she was very young and my parents were playing Glen Campbell, Don Williams, Tammy Wynette, Johnny Cash etc at home – they had impeccable taste 🤠. On the show you’ll find fab new country and a sprinkling of those oldies, featured albums and artists, gig news, etc.

Dawn is a born and bred Irvinite, went to Ravenspark Academy and was Marymass Queen in 1978 and she still lives and work in the area today.
