James Merritt

All presenters think they know better than managers and heads of music... And sometimes they actually do. Listen to @james_merritt's tales from Kiss 100, Virgin Radio (both), BRMB and Heart: podfollow.com/crunchandroll/… Support us: ko-fi.com/crunchandroll

🚨NEW EPISODE🚨 😬Dear listener, there were repercussions... Kiss 100 and Virgin Radio hero @james_merritt tells @JohnFox79 about his radio career... and which Hollywood star inspired it. Listen now: podfollow.com/crunchandroll/…

💋No big deal. It's only Kiss. ⏰Next week's episode stars the brilliant @james_merritt... if he remembers to turn up. 🏅This guy's got some stories! And another candidate for the most 'radio' way to lose your job. 📅In your feeds Monday. podfollow.com/crunchandroll/…

@radioriley @BoomRadioUK @DailyMailUK Some great support there, Phil. Now, if you’ll just stop playing those pesky adverts, Rosemary will be happy! 😆

Crikey - our brilliant listeners have come out in force to support us in todays Mail on Sunday. Thanks to one and all ⁦@BoomRadioUK⁩ ⁦@DailyMailUK⁩

@TsuiAllen @VirginRadioUK @caroldecker She was!!!

Hearing @james_merritt on @VirginRadioUK say that T'Pau missed Brit Award for People's Choice Best Single of 1988 makes me think was @caroldecker the very first person to experience being "Rick-Rolled"?

@TsuiAllen @VirginRadioUK Arrh... no. My front teeth are big enough as it is! 'What's up, doc?'

@james_merritt @VirginRadioUK It's the pause icon that gives that kind of March hare or Bugs Bunny look. Can't unsee that now can you...

What a wonderful way to spend Saturday morning. Hearing @james_merritt on @VirginRadioUK start this weekend's breakfast show playing Edwyn Collins. Busy day ahead for me and mine. Already been to the supermarket and grilling sausages for breakfast...

@TsuiAllen @VirginRadioUK @chillygonzales @BarbicanCentre love this Allen!

OK @james_merritt on @VirginRadioUK because you couldn't, going to share again the time I peformed as one of @chillygonzales backing singers to the orchestral cover @BarbicanCentre in 2017... youtu.be/1zgVHwf9frQ?si…

@TsuiAllen @VirginRadioUK Morning Allen - Happy New Year Sir!

What am I doing up? @james_merritt on @VirginRadioUK Listenimg to you, enjoying a cuppa in my kitchen is what I'm up to right now. #TrackOfTheDay

@nickwallis @TimesRadio hello from upstairs!

On air on @TimesRadio now! Do join us.

@TsuiAllen @VirginRadioUK ooh look - it's me! Morning Allen - good to have you, if not 'tuned in'... then 'app'ed in'.

Not near a radio this final Sunday morning of 2024 so listening to @james_merritt on @VirginRadioUK app on my phone. What a wonderful way to greet the day. Hearing "God Gave Rock n Roll to you..." Sing it!

@TsuiAllen @CastellKim Funny... because it's (sadly) true.

This pricing model example shared by @CastellKim is sadly becoming more and more common for an increasing range of what might have been once considered public services in the UK such as railway fares or local taxation. Guess its more transparent pricing but for goodness sake...

@TsuiAllen @VirginRadioUK @BonJovi @RachelJ47127149 You're very welcome - it is a banger, isn't it...?

What an anthem to wake up to this Thursday morning. Thank you @james_merritt on @VirginRadioUK for playing @BonJovi singalong "Livin' On A Prayer" #TrackOfTheDay with @RachelJ47127149

@TsuiAllen @VirginRadioUK @RachelJ47127149 Oh, sorry I missed this earlier, Allen - I had assumed you'd be off this week!

Good #morninghmugshot @james_merritt on @VirginRadioUK You playing Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy" sums up this October Half Term as some schools like mine had our break last week so am going back to work today. Have a magnificent Monday! #TrackOfTheDay with @RachelJ47127149

@TsuiAllen @VirginRadioUK @petshopboys @peta I see now that the story is 15 years old... there's nothing like keeping up to date with things, is there!? Still, a good story's a good story, I guess. :)

Hearing @james_merritt on @VirginRadioUK talk about @petshopboys being asked in 2009 by @peta to consider changing their name to 'Rescue Shelter Boys' makes me think that's a great opportunity for a tribute band name... theguardian.com/music/2009/apr…

@TsuiAllen @VirginRadioUK @oasis That is a tune, isn't it..?!

Been a few days since I've wanted to share my #TrackOfTheDay Thanks to @james_merritt on @VirginRadioUK for playing @oasis 'Half A World Away'. One of those mesmerising stop what you're doing and only listen to tracks for me.

@TsuiAllen @VirginRadioUK @florencemachine Good morning Allen - good to back - and lovely to know you're listening in, as usual! That is a GREAT cover!

Hello again @james_merritt on @VirginRadioUK Great to hear you back on Early Breakfast duties and playing cracking #GetUpGetGoing tracks like @florencemachine cover of "You've Got the Love". Might be a controversial call but better than the original. Anyways, happy Friday!

@BeckyC84x @TsuiAllen @VirginRadioUK My youngest has actually called me 'bruh' once - but I think / hope it was in jest!

@TsuiAllen @james_merritt @VirginRadioUK This follows alongside the progression from "mummy/daddy" to "bruh"

Hearing @james_merritt on @VirginRadioUK talking about his children progressing from CBeebies to YouTube Kids reminds me last week, my offspring are now on these...

@MrMichaelShaw @SchaapmanKarina yep!

This is, again, why those Spotify Unwrapped lists are utterly pointless if you have kids. Still, fun to see The National beaten by a set of sweet mice from Amsterdam (Sam en Julia by @SchaapmanKarina)

I have been here listening to @james_merritt who is playing this feel good sound of Summer classic by Dodgy right now...

Morning! @OliverSlt @pennywpennyw @JoPetersEYFS @MrsVeriTea @mrsLHK79 @ReallyschoolK @Gaiinz @TeacherPaul1978 @TsuiAllen @amandarussell35 @rf_watson @markcratchley @h_mason_teaches @nickidigest @steve_denyer @RachelJ47127149 @sneekylinux #TrackOfTheDay
