Presenter & Studio Manager

My role involves ensuring shows happen, the equipment works, the kettle boils, the computers don’t crash, blah, blah, blah!

The show features Songfacts, wacky news items, birthdays, weird auctions on E Bay and plenty of good music. All with the help of my good lady Merrilyn!

I started on Birch Radio in late 1980 and still haven’t got a gold watch or a clock on the mantelpiece!

On Air:

When I Can!

My likes are music especially Simply Red, Queen, Genesis, Meatloaf, Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables and much more; plus computing, pets and Merrilyn!

Top 3 Songs:

Home - Simply Red

Driving the Last Spike - Genesis

Paradise by the Dashboard Light - Meatloaf

My worst moment occurred when wanting to hear how the show sounded ‘on air’ I realised I had been talking to myself for 90 minutes, as I hadn’t pressed the ‘Go Live’ switch at the start of the show!

My ambition is to give everyone a chance to hear Roch Valley Radio without having to be ill!

Life Motto: Live for today!
