About Me

Potted history first... I’ve been an air hostess, a waitress in Amsterdam, a grape picker and then a few other things interspersed with signing on before I joined BBC Radio Merseyside. I then went to Radio One, had our Fred, did GLR, XFM and then decided that it was time to try and get a new radio station going in Liverpool....did that....won a licence and gave birth to our Blue.I then got a phone call asking me if I would like to do a show for Radio 2 from Glastonbury. The sun was shining...it was a great weekend...I had a wonderful time legging after the likes of Debbie Harry and Michael Stipe and getting Fran Healy to sing Driftwood for me after blagging him a guitar. After that I started doing more stuff for Radio 2 before turning up on my own show, 5 nights a week.We all get together once a week to talk about the live music and other stuff that we plan to put in the show. We have a fantastic music studio with top notch engineers and bands love to come and play here....Manic Street Preachers, Kasabian, Nerina Pallot, Paul Weller, The Twang, Wombats, Moby, The Enemy and loads more.......... The show is very spontaneous and I use the phones, emails and texts that I get from you to move it along and change direction. I love it....we have such a good time in the studio.....when you are in to music and talking as much as I am..it’s got to be the perfect gig. MyGen Profile Generator
