I've met so many people, whilst working in the media. From the famous and not so famous and had the opportunity to interview them. Some of my favourite interviews include 'Art and Power', 'Bristol Cancer Help Centre', 'Organic and real food festival' to a little boy who is blind and was on an adventure holiday. He really loved being part of the whole experience. Anything is possible no matter what. He wants to work in radio one day and I'm sure he will, but his favourite song at the time was Hear'Say "Show me the way to your love" which was played after his interview, he introduced the song himself, but I always think of that little boy and how he embraced life every time I hear that song.
I've also interviewed Bjorn Again, Hazell Dean, Jackie Stallone, Chris Green, Modesty Blaise, Anthony Worral Thompson, Sharron Davies, The Wurzels, Fred Wedlock, The Smiths Indeed, Sgt Peppers Only Darts Board Band, Mesh, Jagged, Martyn Joseph among others and enjoyed every moment chatting with them.
I also had the opportunity to join Richard Arnold on GM:tv and interview Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan, Julie Walters, Colin Firth, Amanda Seyfried, Christine Baranski, Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, and of course ABBA's Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus (my second meeting with him, the first in 1999!) at the Mamma Mia! film premiere in London on 30th June 2008. And my friend, fellow ABBA fan and BBC radio presenter Luke Deal was also there doing interviews which made it a worthwhile experience. We still talk about it now and the great opportunity we would not have missed for the world!
As to whom I'd like to meet ..... I'll get back to you on that one, but work wise I'm happy to meet most people. Especially if they have an interesting story to tell and have their feet firmly planted on the ground. Oh and a sense of humour is always a welcome addition.
I am using myspace for networking, like minded people involved in the areas of work I am involved in, so we may just be able to help each other out, that is what networking is all about. I'm also here so I can keep in contact with friends, family and work colleagues with most receiving personal invites, so please don't be offended if your request is turned down because this space is mainly work related.
I always love chatting to people and here are one or two I have had the opportunity to interview and loved every minute of it!
And some famous people I have met along the way
