JK and Joel

Jason King (né Griffiths) and Joel Ross (né Hogg), known professionally as JK and Joel, were a radio presenting duo, best known for hosting the official UK chart on BBC Radio 1 between 2004 and 2007 and presented the CBBC show Hider in the House. In August 2012 JK & Joel confirmed they had split after years of limited success.

Radio career

Viking FM

The two first worked together at Viking FM in Kingston upon Hull from 1996 when Ross joined the station from Yorkshire Coast Radio to present the overnight programme. King was hosting the afternoon show at the time. In 1998 King took over the breakfast show and Ross, who was on the afternoon programme, later began reading the travel bulletins on the show, as a punishment for turning up late. Despite not getting along at first (King heatbutted Ross, breaking his nose), eventually the two were paired up as co-hosts and together they won two Gold Sony Radio Academy Awards for 'Breakfast Show Of The Year' and a Silver for 'Entertainment Show'.

Jack And Jill

Jack and Jill
Me and my old lady we got a dream commin' true
Me and my old lady just bought some room with a view
We kept our options open it was the omly way we could deal
living life on our own terms we toor a house on the hill
But if all comes tumbling down just a dream gets broken
but our souls stay sound, we can hold our heads high
and look back with no shame with a consience as clear as our ideals and aims,
cos where do you go at the end of the day when your world comes tumbling down.
You climb to your feet, wipe the tears from your eyes
cos it's only the foot of the hill.
Some people take a mortgage down on memory lane
hide their heads in the sand and hope their troubles go away
detach themselves from living a life that they can never afford
lock their hearts and their spirits behind those heavy golden doors
But if all comes tumbling down, a dream gets broken
but our souls stay sound, can you hold your heads high
look back with no shame with a consience as clear as your ideals and aims,
where will you go at the end of the day when your world comes tumbling down.
Can you climb to your feet, wipe the tears from your eyes
Can you climb your way back up the hill?
