Keith Venn

Keith has been with Skyline Gold since 2017 and presents the “Hidden Treasures” show on a Wednesday from midday until 2pm.​

The Hidden Treasures Show is a unique mix of music from the UK and around the world, featuring known and unknown artists. There are many great performers who sing fantastic songs in English, but are rarely heard in the UK. The show aims to broaden our knowledge of these artists.

Keith started with radio in the late 1960’s, and the rumours he was broadcasting in the midlands, around the time of Radio Caroline, are not true. 

He has always had an interest in music and has performed as both a solo artist, and a member of several bands across the decades. Many Friday nights were spent with a guest singer / guitarist who turned out to be Ralph McTell!  More recently, Keith sings and plays keyboard, either on his own or with a guitarist as part of the duo Moonlight.

Keith has also been a radio amateur since the early 1980’s and built and operated communications equipment. Most days of the week, he is talking to someone around the world.

He is also a keen photographer and videographer and has travelled extensively to places such as Hawaii, Australia, and Mexico. Mexico is a sore point as he spent 12 out of 14 days isolating in a hotel room with Covid!
