Jim Gellatly is a Scottish radio presenter and DJ. He presented Drivetime on XFM Scotland until its closure, and a weekly showcase on online/DAB radio station Amazing Radio.
Educated at the private High School of Dundee and Strathallan School, Gellatly is married to Candy and has three children. His late father, Ian Gellatly, was Chairman of Dundee F.C. and President of the Scottish Football League, while his grandfather was chairman of the club when they won the Scottish League Championship in 1961–62.
Gellatly began as a volunteer for Moray Firth Radio in Inverness in the late 80s, moving to Northsound Radio in Aberdeen in the early 90s. He joined the launch of Glasgow-based radio station Beat 106 in November 1999. Following a shift in the station’s music policy, he left after just a few months to join Chrysalis-backed internet radio project Puremix in London. In January 2001 he returned to Beat 106 on Sunday nights, while continuing to work in London during the week. When Puremix folded, he returned to Scotland on a full-time basis. When Beat 106 rebranded as XFM Scotland, he presented the 'X-Posure' showcase for new music.
Gellatly is credited as the first radio DJ to play KT Tunstall, Glasvegas, Biffy Clyro, The Fratellis, Twin Atlantic, The Enemy,Sergeant and his hometown band The View. In December 2007, and December 2008 he presented Amy MacDonald with sales discs onstage at the Barrowland in Glasgow. Featured in 'The Daily Record's Razz Hot 100' in 2007. He'd previously featured in a 'Evening Times Glasgow 100' list, the local paper's list of powerful people.
