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:
“A biography is like a handshake down the years, that can become an arm-wrestle.”
—Richard Holmes (b. 1945)
“As we approached the log house,... the projecting ends of the logs lapping over each other irregularly several feet at the corners gave it a very rich and picturesque look, far removed from the meanness of weather-boards. It was a very spacious, low building, about eighty feet long, with many large apartments ... a style of architecture not described by Vitruvius, I suspect, though possibly hinted at in the biography of Orpheus.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The best part of a writer’s biography is not the record of his adventures but the story of his style.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
