The New AM 740’s Scottish lad, Denis Snowdon was born and educated in Glasgow, Scotland and immigrated to Oakville in 1964. Bringing his roots to the airwaves, Denis launched A LITTLE BREATH OF SCOTLAND on CHWO which continues its success on The New AM 740. In 2005, the show celebrated its 40th anniversary! The longevity of Denis’ show is an achievement that very few in the industry can match.
In recognition of this, Denis was inducted into the Quarter Century Club of the Canadian Association of Broadcasters in 1991, in recognition of his contribution to radio. Denis is the voice of the annual Fergus Tattoo. He also M.C’d the Skydome Tattoo in honour of Toronto’s 200th birthday, and was the narrator in the critically acclaimed Scottish Dance Company of Canada’s production, “Immrama”. For leisure, Denis travels and loves a good mystery novel. He lives in Oakville with his wife Denise and they have three children and three grandchildren.

Hello Mr Snowden,
I have enjoyed your show for many years. Today I throughly enjoyed your recitation of the Christmas poem. If possible I would love a copy of the poem. It brought back a lot of memories of days gone by !
Thanking you
Veronica Cassidy

Dear Denis
There’s another verse to ” A wee Cock Sparrow” which we sang at our Campfires with the Skelmorlie Scouts (71st Ayrshire). It’s their 75th Anniversary this year.
“The wee boy said “Sir, you’ll hae tae excuse me”
(Repeat twice)
For the size of your nose and your coat’tails confused me!”
Kind regards
Alex McKinnon
