  Mark Radcliffe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mark Radcliffe is an English broadcaster who has worked in various roles for the BBC since the 1980s.
Radcliffe was born in Bolton, Lancashire on 29 June 1958, and took an interest in music from a young age, playing the drums in a number of bands (including Skrewdriver - albeit briefly, and before their infamous incarnation as a racist band - and currently The Family Mahone).
Radcliffe managed some brief success in the music business with the now defunct Shirehorses, a parody band spawned from his Mark And Lard antics, and is currently a member of the more folk-oriented The Family Mahone.

 Mark Radcliffe | Fancy A Brew | Planet Bods
In 1987 Mark returned back to production for the BBC, and was persuaded by Frank Mansfield, the head of the fledgling Radio 5, to present one of the many shows from the regions that he had planned - Hit the North was born.
During those early days Mark was rather shy (or was he just trying to be mysterious?) and refused to be photographed without a large duffel coat hood over his head and a pair of sunglasses on - rising to the jingles proclaiming he was 'The man in the duffel coat'.
Mark quickly and easily moved back into being a solo presenter on a full time basis, although is of course, still good friends with his former co-worker.

 RTE.ie Entertainment - Northern Sky by Mark Radcliffe
For his debut novel, Mark Radcliffe, the much-loved BBC broadcaster behind such cult shows as 'The Mark and Lard Show' and 'Out on Blue Six', has adhered to one of those oft-quoted bits of advice for anyone who thinks they have a book in them: write about what you know.
In Radcliffe's case that's folk music: a veteran of a number of bands, the Nick Drake-loving Radcliffe now fronts an outfit called Family Mahone and busks every Friday.
There's enough here to suggest that Radcliffe can now have another moonlighting gig to add to his busking and that, learning from what does and doesn't work here, better is to come.

Not so long ago, Radcliffe relocated to Radio 2, where his show, broadcast in the evenings, is characterised by its healthy irreverence and unwaning disdain for the playlist.

Mark and Lard are also the creators of the spoof rock band "The Shirehorses", who released two CD albums:

 Radio Reviews | MARK RADCLIFFE AND JOHN COOPER CLARKE
Been meaning to write a review of Mark Radcliffe's new show on BBC Radio 2 for a while, and the appearance of John Cooper Clarke on it seems like a suitable opportunity.
Radcliffe's show, like so much of Radio 2, falls into the category of middle aged man plays lots of old records (yes I know I've made that joke before, and I'll probably make it again).
The show actually seems to be returning to the style of the old Mark and Lard Radio 1 evening show from the 1980s - and that's no bad thing.
