Biography
England has presented on Radio Caroline, Radio Atlantis, and one of the first independent local radio stations in the UK, Piccadilly Radio in Manchester.
After spending time as head of commercial production, England started a partnership with Alan Fawkes and set up Alfasound in 1979. The company produced many jingle packages for UK and European radio stations from its base in Sale, Greater Manchester; one such package was for Radio Nova .
Alan Fawkes and Steve England parted company in 1997 after serious disagreements and England set up his own production company. In 2001, he merged his company with S2blue and moved to Leek. He acts as the UK and Éire agent for Jam Creative Productions and PAMS productions of Dallas, Texas, meaning that stations can have many classic radio jingles re-sung with their name.
Steve also presented on and helped to set up Moorlands Radio, the community radio station for the Staffordshire Moorlands based in Leek, Staffordshire.
Steve retired from the business in 2011, but occasionally still voices.

Famous quotes containing the word biography:
“The death of Irving, which at any other time would have attracted universal attention, having occurred while these things were transpiring, went almost unobserved. I shall have to read of it in the biography of authors.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Had Dr. Johnson written his own life, in conformity with the opinion which he has given, that every man’s life may be best written by himself; had he employed in the preservation of his own history, that clearness of narration and elegance of language in which he has embalmed so many eminent persons, the world would probably have had the most perfect example of biography that was ever exhibited.”
—James Boswell (1740–95)
