Cash was born in Bushey, and grew up in London. He began his career in broadcasting in Canada, where he had gone with the Merchant Navy, and acquired a North American-sounding accent. He returned to the UK in the 1960s and joined Radio London at the age of 21 after meeting up with the show's programme director Ben Toney. Toney persuaded him to join the station as the afternoon DJ and writer for commercials. Once on board with Radio London, Cash teamed up with Kenny Everett for the Kenny & Cash Show, amongst the most successful of all pirate radio programmes.
After Parliament outlawed pirates, Cash joined Radio Luxembourg, then in 1967 he became one of the first-day DJs on Radio One. Cash's popular Sunday show Cash At Four attracted guest such as Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan, John Cleese, Lady Antonia Fraser, Rolf Harris, and David Bellamy.
In 1973, Cash started working at Capital Radio as production manager and presenter. Cash stayed at Capital for 21 years, reprising the Kenny & Cash Show, hosting COD and the weekend programmes for Capital Gold. After the success of Cash's best selling first novel The Rating Game, Cash left Capital in 1994 to concentrate on his writing.
Cash currently works for the BBC, broadcasting his popular weekend shows on Saturday and Sunday nights to Radio Kent, BBC Sussex, BBC Surrey, BBC Radio Solent, BBC Radio Berkshire and BBC Oxford.
