About Me

RADIO is my 'thang' - so I'm neither a band or banned (but hey either could happen! ) multi accented Global Gal, started off in this industry as an ACTRESS (various projects) and MODEL (stock shots and so on.. no I don't mean bisto or gravox! ) a little TV, made a FILM, appeared on a RECORD (all still out there somewhere ) fell into RADIO/BROADCASTING and VOICEOVERS by accident and that is where my heart truly is ;-) And YES I do wear lipstick on air!I am always interested in new projects so if my voice is your choice, get in touch******************************************************* ********Some of my favourite RADIO INTERVIEWS & SESSIONS I have had over the years include: (in NO particular order and NOT limited to..) Mr JAMES BROWN (RIP Mr Brown it was a real honor to meet & spend time with you I will certainly never forget that interview) SUZANNE VEGA ( love her voice and she does NOT seem to age! Each time I meet this lady I am wondering what her ageless secret is!) , HAYSEED DIXIE (now that was a SPANKtastic and fun interview!! ) HAZEL O'CONNOR ( sooo energetic and always great fun to be with) RICK WAKEMAN (oh yes!) EDITORS (such amiable chaps, great to see them doing so well!) THE ENEMY - This group is no foe to the ears! Watch them rise! RED LIGHT COMPANY (splendid bunch and so going places, mark my words!) JOOLS HOLLAND (interviewing an interviewer can be quite an experience! ), JAMES BLUNT (what a pleasant chap!) and STEVE HARLEY ( great chap and his blogs are amazing ) ROB REYNOLDS ( this guy has an incredible voice, and the mic 'melted'! ;-) ) GLENN TILBROOK (he and drummer Simon Hanson could do stand up comedy as a sideline!) TONY JAMES (soooo interesting! ) MICHAEL FRANTI (he had us all singing! )JERRY FISH & The Mudbug Club ( great live sessions and a good laugh! ) LACH (so talented and fun ) and WAKING THE WITCH (heavenly harmonious honeys!!) CARINA ROUND (powerful voice and a good giggle ) STERIOGRAM ( seems I was the first person in Europe to play them on air back in 04 so was thrilled for them when they charted with Walkie Talkie Man later that year ,keep on rocking fellas and good luck with the new stuff!) and so many more! I will be hopefully putting extracts and snippets of some of these interviews and sessions on here to share with you along with reviews and various other goodies. ************************************************************ *** I love to meet and connect with people and am passionate about getting new music on the airwaves - Whoever invented playlisting needs a scolding, if it sounds good PLAY it!********************************************************* *****Thank goodness the internet is lending a helping hand in bringing new stuff to our attention and keeping the more , shall we say 'mature' artists up there also. It should not just be about a latest chart hit as good music is timeless and music is about exploration. And let's keep music LIVE too! (I so hate miming!! No names mentioned!)************************************************* **************Love live music and festivals and can often be spotted running stage to stage from dawn til dusk and dusk til dawn, hat and all. Glastonbury is my favorite festival**************************************************** ************(now then..what does THIS button do?!! Ok it is ANNOYING but seems to see the captions you have to click on the slideshow and then hover mouse over each photo, I do not like the new way can we please have the old style slideshow back pretty please MySpace :-( )*********************************************************** ***** Now I know you trust lil ol' Radio Girl, so trust in me when I say CHECK out the wonderful musical world of Gavin Mikhail, this guy is TALENT with a capital T!********************************************************** *****This wonderful track ME LEAVING ME by harmonious honeys WAKING THE WITCH is constantly in my head. See for yourself why!Daryl Braithwaite song "The Horses" it is an inspiring song...enjoy!!a salute to VB and Winfields (and Ockers Anon ) courtesy of Chris Franklin

Band Website: work in progress check back another time
Band Members: me myself and I along with some surprise guests ;-)
Influences: Radio wise well, naturally John Peel, what a man, and so very missed (R.I.P)Must also say Jon Kirkman has been a big influence (and mentor!) through the years This guy is not only a great radio presenter he is also a Walking Fountain of Music Knowledge , so do check out his wonderful website at www.rockahead.net (I do at times also contribute interviews/write-ups for it )Music wise well heck this will take me a LONG time, as there is so much music I love, ranging from classical right through to metal so expect some surprises, and a fuller list at some point but for now, in no particular order and by no means limited to: INXS - Steriogram -ACDC - Big Country - Hazel O'Connor - Gary Moore - Glenn Tilbrook -Squeeze - Rob Reynolds - Lach - Whitesnake - Rainbow - Beastie Boys -Waking The Witch - Marilyn Monroe (yes she could sing! ) Stevie Nicks - Bad Company - Fury In The Slaughterhouse - Die Toten Hosen - Bell Book & Candle - Nena (fyi she had plenty more hits other than 99 Luftballoon ) Doro- Heart- Pur -The Levellers - Carly Binding-Augustino-Dave Dobbyn - Ardijah -Haven- Lord Bishop Rocks - Messenger - Gun - James Brown - James Blunt- Editors-JJ Gilmour - Cooper Temple Clause- Split Enz-Noiseworks-Crowded House-Bon Jovi- Deep Purple -Magnum-Metallica -- Jordan Luck ( Dance Exponents -victorrrrrrriaa!!) and more to come
Sounds Like: multi accents from living around the world..keeps people guessing!im the girl of 100 voices..from a breathless Monroe or a 'totally' twangy Valley Girl to an angelic antipodean, fraulein frolics, or a plummy posh bbc babe;-)You can hear some idents & onair spoofs here, I will get around to adding some of the 'serious shows and interviews etc one of these days when I am not overseas (so please stop the nagging emails!)Finally, seems I have been the only person to ever do Aerobics live on radio from a studio roof, good thing it didn't sound like vertigo!!
