Adam Longworth

added 02 July 2003 at 05.29

The charismatic, enigmatic Adam masterminds The Weekender every Friday and Saturday night with a mix of the very greatest 'aving it tunes hurled into the ether to prepare you for your big nights out.

Adam is, it must be said, a man of many talents and many voices. Not exactly a shrinking violet, he's somewhat akin to a one-man theatre production. He's played the larger-than-life Leigh Bowery in Boy George's West End musical 'Taboo' and he's done pretty much everything (and everyone) on his road to Xfm's door. 

Adam presents The Weekender every Friday from 19:00-22:00  - in and you'll be treated to a wedge of top rocking tunes that'll put you in the mood for going out and getting absolutely clattered.
