    Lee Travis, better known around the world as D.L.T., was born in Buxton on 25th May
    1945.  He joined Radio Caroline South  in September 1965.  He transferred
    up to Caroline North in its last few months. DLT  began his career spinning discs at
    the Oasis Club in Manchester on a part time basis.  He went on an extensive tour of
    clubs, ballrooms and theatres presenting and promoting his own shows.  He was asked
    by Herman to accompany The Hermits on their American tour. This led to radio and TV
    broadcasts in many states and on his return to Britain he continued to promote his own
    shows in Blackpool, Bury and surrounding areas.  DLT joined the BBC and today he is heard around the world on the BBC World Service.
