Phil Taggart
Philip Taggart (born 10 June 1987) is a Northern Irish DJ and radio presenter on BBC Radio Ulster, drive time host on Sirius XM and podcaster.
Philly Taggart was born in Derry but was raised in Drumragh, a townland on the outskirts of Omagh in County Tyrone. He attended the Christian Brothers Grammar School, Omagh.
He played bass in the band Colenso Parade from age 15 to age 24. The band went on several tours throughout the UK and supported the likes of Richard Hawley, Dirty Pretty Things and The View.
Taggart started putting on gigs in his hometown at age 16, frustrated at not being able to get into 18+ gigs. Soon after this, he began to DJ regularly at local nightclubs. By the age of 17 he had begun writing for popular music magazine Alternative Ulster.
While studying at the University of Ulster at Coleraine, Taggart won the BBC/Skillset Young Broadcaster of the Year
In 2008, Taggart helped set up and worked behind the scenes on the Omagh community radio station Strule FM. The station went on to pick up an award at the 2009 Sony Radio Academy Awards.
In 2010, Taggart was asked to stand in for regular presenter Rigsy on BBC Radio Ulster's Across the Line programme after taking part in a work experience scheme. After that he went on to cover on Across The Line regularly.
In December 2011, Taggart became the host of BBC Introducing in Northern Ireland as part of Radio 1's regional output. The programme, broadcast on Sunday nights, showcases new music from Northern Ireland. Taggart was nominated for the "DAB Rising Star" award at the Sony Radio Academy Awards in 2012 following his work for BBC Introducing in Northern Ireland. Taggart also began appearing on some of the Radio 1's national programmes, covering for Sara Cox, Huw Stephens, Dev and Gemma Cairney.
