Rick Shaw

From 10am, Rick expertly fills that gap between Breakfast and Lunch when you shouldn't be eating snacks with some chat and of course a whole stack of tunes.

Tune in every weekday from 10:00 - 13:00 (check the Xfm Schedule for more info by clicking here) as Rick hits the Xfm airwaves for one big rollicking fun-filled ride of new tunes, classic anthems and general random nonsense.

Call Rick on 0871 222 1049 or text him on 83XFM (that's 83936) and let him know how your day's chugging along, request a tune or get involved with one of his features.

Rick's Features:

No, we don't mean in depth discussion of Rick's chin or his ear lobe, but his regular on air features. Here's the skinny...

Random Question Generator
Simple one this: Answer questions... Win things.
International Listener Of The Day:

Make Mine A Double
Two songs in a row from one band. Who could it be today? I mean, it could be anyone...
The Pointless Exercise
Waste time at work when you should be doing more important things.
The Hilarious Snooker Joke
Exactly what is says on the tin: A very funny joke about snooker

Not for Rick our usual questionnaire. He's an international man of mystery, Xfm's very own chess grand master and an authority on lighthouses of the world. No, really. So, just for you, let us present...

Rick Shaw's Top Ten Lighthouses

10. Elbow Reef

Set in the beautiful, tranquil Bahamas, I might only like it because of this

9. Monumental La Serena

This one has been in use since 1950. Nobody lives in it, but it can be found at 28 degrees south. Stunning.

8. Skagens Rev (Denmark)

If I�m honest, I just like the name.

7. Wonga Shod

This is a glorious lighthouse that is understated yet bold enough to command presence. It's yellow.

6. The Lighthouse of Alexandria (Egypt)

It was one of the tallest man-made structures on earth for centuries. It isn't any more, but it is made out of stone and looks a bit like the Statue Of Liberty

5. Roman Lighthouse (Dover Castle)

Quaint, but a bit wonky

4. Hyperboloid Adziogol (Ukraine)

Looks a bit like the Eiffel Tower but fatter in the middle. Very imposing yet commands respect from all lighthouse lovers.

3. Split Point Lighthouse (Australia)

Very simple and traditional.

2. Kopu Lighthouse (Estonia)

Delicious and sexy. It�s the third oldest operating lighthouse in the world, but could show the young �uns a thing or two. Glorious.

1. The Lighthouse (St. Paul Island)

Looks like a tab end.
