John Shuttleworth is the character created by musician Graham Fellows who has also on occasion been known as Jilted John best remembered for his massive hit in the seventies Jilted John. John Shuttleworth is a completely different kettle of fish. A fifty something unemployed man living in Sheffield who is fond of DIY and writing songs on his Yamaha keyboard which are inspired by his life. In 1998 John Shuttlworth had an idea to set up his own radio station. John's attempt to set up a local radio station "serving the Sheffield region - and a little bit further even" was broadcast as two series of Radio Shuttleworth. The programmes followed a similar format to his previous radio series The Shuttleworths, but their new length of thirty minutes allowed guest slots (Impress an Impresario, Make Mary Merry) and opportunities to interview celebreties on the show. Radio Shuttleworth 1 is as the title implies the first in the series.
