Jazz Club

Walter Love's career in broadcasting began with an appearance on Children's Hour in 1946. Walter first joined the BBC in London in 1958 where he worked as a studio manager. After spending a year with the BBC in Edinburgh he returned to Belfast and within a year was appointed a staff announcer.
For more than ten years from 1960 he was the principal television newsreader, and, as an announcer, covered the full range of radio output - presenting everything from symphony concerts, Friday Night is Music Night, record programmes and the complete continuity operation.

Walter's life-long interest in jazz is another facet of his broadcasting career and he is co-promoter of the successful Holywood International Jazz Festival.

He was awarded an MBE in the New Year's Honours List in 1998 for his services to broadcasting and was Chairman of the Northern Ireland Wine and Spirit Institute from 1998 to 2002.
