Pat Sharp

Pat Sharp achieved notable success in the late 1980s by forming the duo Pat and Mick with fellow Capital FM colleague Mick Brown. Their charity singles, including ‘Let’s All Chant’ and ‘I Haven’t Stopped Dancing Yet,’ reached the UK singles chart Top 20, with ‘I Haven’t Stopped Dancing Yet’ peaking at number 9 in 1989. The duo released five hit singles that made the Top 75, ultimately raising over a million pounds for charity. Prior to this, Sharp had established himself as a dynamic personality in radio, covering for presenters at BBC Radio 1 in 1982 and 1983, and hosting a regular early Sunday morning slot.

He also made television appearances on BBC1’s ‘Top of the Pops’ during this period, followed by stints as a DJ for Radio Mercury and the British Forces Broadcasting Service. From 1987, Sharp embarked on a decade-long tenure as a DJ at Capital FM in London, where his distinctive persona earned him a spot among the top three DJs at the ‘Smash Hits’ Poll Winners Party in 1987. He was later honored with the prestigious Sony Award for Best DJ in 1992. Sharp’s television career also flourished, most notably as the presenter of the children’s ITV programme ‘Fun House,’ which ran for a decade from 1989 to 1999 and was co-presented with Melanie and Martina Grant.

His career progression continued with a role as a Weekend presenter on Greatest Hits Radio from 2019 until 2023. Currently, Pat Sharp serves as the mid-morning presenter on Global’s Heart 80s radio station, continuing to engage audiences with his distinctive style and dynamic presence. His prolific career spans decades, marked by consistent achievement across diverse media platforms and a sustained connection with listeners and viewers nationwide.
