Meet Kevin O'Brien
The Man Behind the Early Early Soul-cial
Some people need a strong cup of coffee to get their mornings started. Others just need a little soul music. Thankfully, Kevin O'Brien is on hand to provide the perfect soundtrack!

While most of us are still tucked up in bed, Kevin is already preparing another helping of quality soul music for listeners of Love Soul Radio London.

His Early Early Soul-cial, broadcasting Monday to Thursday from 6 am until 8 am, provides the perfect start to the day, with a wonderful selection of soul, funk and feel-good favourites.

But there's a little more to Kevin than meets the ear!

The 3 AM Club
You'll often hear DJs talking about the hours they spend preparing their shows, but Kevin takes that dedication to another level.

While most sensible people are fast asleep, Kevin can often be found up at 3 o'clock in the morning, carefully selecting his music, putting his playlist together and polishing his delivery.

It's that attention to detail that makes good radio sound effortless. Kevin understands that it's not simply about playing records; it's about creating something his listeners genuinely enjoy.

And let's face it, anyone prepared to get out of a warm bed at three in the morning in the name of soul music deserves a medal. Or at least a very large mug of coffee!

Life Beyond the Microphone
When Kevin isn't behind the microphone, he enjoys swapping the studio for the open road.

A keen campervan enthusiast, he loves heading off on camping holidays with his wife Liz and their faithful four-legged travelling companion, Fudge.

But there's another passion that keeps Kevin and Liz busy: soul music weekends and festivals.

The couple enjoy getting away together to soak up the atmosphere, enjoy the music and share good times with fellow soul enthusiasts.

Whether it's a weekend surrounded by great music or a peaceful getaway in the campervan, Kevin certainly knows how to make the most of his downtime.

Although we suspect that even on holiday, he's never too far away from a decent soul tune!

A Passion for Good Radio
There's something special about early morning radio. Whether you're heading off to work, enjoying your first cuppa or simply easing into another day, the right music can make all the difference.

Kevin's approach is refreshingly simple. Great music, relaxed presentation and a genuine enthusiasm for what he does.

His dedication to preparing his shows and getting the music just right reflects the qualities we value at Love Soul Radio London.

We've always believed that a great radio station isn't simply about filling airtime. It's about having presenters who genuinely care about their music and the people listening.

Kevin is very much one of those people, and we're delighted to have him as part of the Love Soul Radio London family.

The Early Bird Catches the Soul!
There's an old saying that the early bird catches the worm.

Well, here at Love Soul Radio London, we prefer to think that the early bird catches the soul!

So, whether you're an early riser, a commuter or someone who simply enjoys starting the day with a great soundtrack, why not make Kevin O'Brien part of your morning routine?

And the next time you hear him effortlessly introducing another great record, spare a thought for the man who may have been up since three in the morning making sure everything sounds just right.

That's dedication. That's passion. And that's Kevin O'Brien.
