Big Al (Al Nield)

Director, Presenter, Bass-Wielding Legend

When he’s not behind the mic or laying down a funky bassline, Big Al is usually wrangling the airwaves at Nifty UK Radio — or chasing Toto the dog out of his studio snacks.

With over 25 years of radio mayhem under his belt and a musical career spanning four decades, Al’s voice is as familiar as your nan’s gravy, and just as comforting (with a little extra spice). Whether he’s spinning tracks, cracking wise, or guiding the Nifty UK ship through the stormy seas of showbiz, he’s the man keeping it all sounding smooth and solid.

A proud Mancunian with a heart of gold and a wit sharp enough to slice through your Wi-Fi signal, Al brings warmth, humour, and a deep love of great music to everything he does. From working men’s clubs to festival stages, he’s seen it all – and probably has a bassline for every story.

Catch him live on Nifty UK – just don’t ask him to DJ your wedding. He’ll do it, but only if there’s pie.
