DJ Buckles otherwise known as the Godfather of Radio Diamond.
Buckles – The Big Brother of Radio Diamond
Buckles is the life and laughter of the Radio Diamond family — the practical joker whose Jamaican wit and infectious humour keep everyone smiling. But behind the jokes lies a man of deep commitment: a devoted father, husband, and entrepreneur who runs the beloved Buckles & Jerdine Caribbean Kitchen in Hulme, Manchester.
Even with the demands of a busy family business, Buckles never turns his back on Radio Diamond. His passion for reggae music is legendary, and every week he shares his cherished collection with listeners, keeping the culture alive while spreading joy and good vibes through the airwaves.
Known as the big brother figure at the station, Buckles is always ready to have your back. Call on him, and he’ll be there — “soon come,” as he famously says. His larger-than-life personality, combined with his deep love for community, makes him a treasured part of the Radio Diamond family.
For Buckles, it’s not just about the music — it’s about family, laughter, and keeping the spirit of community strong.
