Verity Sharp

Sharp moved to London after graduating in 1992, and began working for Radio 3 in 1993, the year she had planned to start a post-graduate degree at the Guildhall School of Music.

In 2001, the eclectic late-night music programme Late Junction, which she presented at that time in alternation with Fiona Talkington and Max Reinhardt,[1] won her the Silver Sony Radio Academy Award for Music Broadcaster of the Year – a "very proud moment for the team after three years of very hard work".

On 21 March 2013, at the end of that evening's edition of programme, she formally announced that she was to cease being one of its regular presenters in order to pursue "a few more musical dreams".

Since autumn 2019 when it moved to a single weekly show, she has alternated presentation duties with Jennifer Lucy Allan.

In 2013, she narrated the BBC Four documentary How to Be a World Music Star: Buena Vista, Bhundu Boys and Beyond.
