Tell us about your show...

It’s a mix of music from 60’s/70’s/80’s/90’s predominantly plus a focus on Wiltshire and a weekly feature on some of the biggest music acts of the last 50 years

What was your first job?

Trainee accountant at Price Waterhouse (well before they became PWC!!)

What was the first song you bought?

‘Ernie (The Fastest Milkman in The West)’ by Benny Hill. They don’t make them like that anymore (sadly)

What has been your best/worst radio moment?

Best – playing back to back soul classics for two hours on one show. Worst – pressing one too many buttons at 7.55pm one night and trying to talk over the autofeed still going out. Oh, and forgetting that I have put a jingle after a song and being drowned out by it; very unprofessional!

Best thing about being a volunteer at Chippenham Hospital Radio?

A great chance to give something back to the community

Petty bureaucracy and Liverpool football supporters!
