A HOSPITAL radio service has welcomed a new presenter to its team - blind DJ Adam Firth.
The 18-year-old is a student at Henshaws College in Harrogate and already has his own DJ company, which he hires out for weddings and parties.
He joined Harrogate Hospital Radio six months ago on work experience and has become totally hooked.
He has now been given the chance to try presenting and has all the song lists and instructions written out in Braille, which he learned at the age of six.
His programme will be broadcast on Mondays between 2pm and 4pm and will be playing music from the 1980s to the present day.
"I'll have to play music to suit everyone's tastes," said Adam, who admits his won preference is dance music.
