Shows: Live from Studio One, Hits of the 80s & 90s

Favourite Song: Pour Some Sugar on Me by Def Leppard

Chris Short has worked for Falklands Radio since 2020 and is the regular host of “Live from Studio One” and “Hits of the 80s & 90s”.  He also provides cover for “Solid Rock” when Tony Ellis has other commitments.

He was born and educated in the Falklands, and his hobbies include music production, playing guitar, listening to music, studying and gaming.  He says “I’m probably one of the few owners of a 7-string guitar on the Islands.  When covering Solid Rock, I refer to myself as The Second Local Metalhead – Tony is the first”.

He likes listening to all kinds of music, ranging from ballads to rock, 80s & 90s, electronic dance music (branching into trance, deep house and techno) and heavy metal (grindcore).  His favourite album is Def Leppard’s “Hysteria”.

His future plans depend on wherever the wind takes him.
