Eddie Halliwell has graced the BBC airwaves for over 3 years now, bringing dance music to people’s radio’s nationwide, but Eddie has now released a statement saying he is finishing his weekly Radio 1 show.

Eddie said; “I have decided to finish my weekly commitment at Radio 1 to focus on my number 1 priority, DJing, and allow time to work on my own projects that have been put on hold due to my current schedule.

“Presenting my Radio 1 show has been fantastic and I value the experience and skill I have gained from it, but I feel the time is now right for a change. I'd like to thank Radio 1 for my time at the station, it has been a pleasure working with everyone. Fire It Up!”

This announcement coincides with the news that Radio 1 is making some of its own changes with its schedule including, Jules moving to the 11pm - 1am slot on a Friday, Kutski will host his own Friday night weekly show and Kissy Sell Out will now take over from Eddie on Thursday nights.

Nooooooooooooooooooooo,He made my thursday night shift that so much better the bastard.

At least he will be doing more with his Djing though.

Kutski's first Residence was in the local Hard House night in the SU here called 'Elevate'
