Terry Garoghan
Terry Garoghan is an English entertainer, born in Brighton (East Sussex, England), where he still lives. He is responsible for songs such as Gorgeous Burgess Hill. He once shared a flat with Eddie Izzard, and he is fairly bald.
Terry started a radio show called Terry Garoghan's Sunday Service in the Crocodile Comedy Club. He then got spotted by Southern FM and of course then became famous for presenting the great Brighton radio show: The Last Bus To Whitehawk!
In 1996 he did his very first Brighton The Musical held at the Crocodile Comedy Club. It was a huge success and has been doing them throughout many years and in 2006 Terry will be doing a special 10th anniversary show!
Terry left Southern FM in 2004 due to being "too rude" and domestic problems, as the following news post on his official website (now only viewable through the Wayback Machine) explains:
After 6 years at Southern FM I have decided to bring my show to an end. It has been a successful 6 years with 3 Sony award nominations and a Sony Gold in 2002. It has also been the most enjoyable and satisfying working period of my life. My domestic life, however, has not been very happy over the last couple of years. I have been through a divorce and suffered the painful separation from my son Harry, who is not yet three years of age. Throughout these difficulties I have continued with my radio show,which on many occasions has been a very hard thing to do. I feel that I now need a rest to collect my thoughts and feelings, and to decide on where to go next. So it's the final ring of The Bell as I sadly say "goodbye brothers and sisters". Thank you for listening and calling in and helping to make 'The Last Bus' the tremendous experience it has been. I shall miss you.
Terry had, however, returned to radio on the 26th September 2005 as the presenter of Juice's breakfast show, "Waking Up Brighton." But on Friday 15th September 2006, he got the sack for not being rude enough! Juice had told him when he started, not to be as rude as it was a breakfast show, but instead of moving him to the late night slot to get Terry's full potential, they got rid of him. Terry has recently done his 11th Brighton The MusicAL show.
