B.A.D stood for Bristol’s Amalgamated DJs and it was the first West Indian / Black music pirate in Bristol (U.K) Some would say it was the first to really get the attention of the public in Bristol. Three DJs, Leroy, Dixon and Dee, known as “The Soul Twins”, finished a residency at Hollywood’s night club and found it hard to get DJ work in other places as venues were not so keen on having Soul, Funk and Hip Hop at this time. Radio seemed to be the logical solution to this. In June of 1987, they started with a small transmitter, broadcasting from Dee’s St. Werburgh’s bedroom from 9pm to 3am on Sunday evenings on 106.95MHz.

Three of the original DJs Mike Shawe, Deli G and DJ Lynx have since re-grouped and can be found playing at the Love Inn, Stokes Croft under the name BAD. We attempt to recreate the 80s 'BAD' sound playing classic House, Hip Hop, Boogie and Soul.
