The careert of Pop Idol star Darius Danesh took a new twist last night when the singer swapped the stage role to sit in as a radio DJ. |
|
|
|
|
|
The Scots chart-topper whose hits have aired regularly on radio took the hot seat in the studio to be a guest presenter on Clyde 1 DJ Tiger Tim's show. |
|
|
|
|
| "In the last six months i have sung live before a milliuon people but sitting in for the Tiger Tim is terrifying......he is the man. However, i couldnt turn down the chance to host my own slot on Clyde 1." |
|
|
| It was an experience Darius desribed as "terrifying" but he added."For someone who grew up listening to pop music in Glasgow, Tim Stevens is something of a legend." |
|
|
| His radio role came after he spent the day singing the praises of music therapy classes during a visit to Daldorch House School, in Catrine, Ayrshire where he joined autistic children in an hour-long class set up by the Nordoff-Robbins Trust. |
|
|
| The singer, nominated by the trust for his Colourblind single, said: "Having autism doesn't mean you're not intelligent, it means you've trouble communicating. Music can help that." |

Meanwhile it has been revealed that big-hearted Darius is to take part in a festive fundrasing appeal for cancer research. |
|
|
|
He is urging volunteers to sign up for Cash for Carols, a sponsorship sing-along to raise funds for the 1450 members diagnosed with the diease each year. |
