About Me

Basically, it appears to my friends that I'm after everybody's job...!...My main work at the moment centres around TalkSPORT 1053/1089AM, the UK's biggest national commercial radio station. I'm fortunate enough to have been part of TalkSPORT's commentary team for the FIFA World Cup 2006, getting the opportunity to describe the action from 9 games in Germany - including the 3rd place play-off match.I'm also the regular presenter of the Friday evening 'Kick Off' show on talkSPORT between 7-10pm. Plus there's shows where I'm used as holiday cover for other presenters and the weekend work I do for the station as a reporter/commentator on Premiership and Championship football - it keeps me busy!!Along with that, I present a weekly music and comedy show on The Arrow, a Digital Radio rock music station. The show's called 'Rock With Laughter' and it goes out on Saturday nights between 11-midnight, as I play some fantastic classic rock tracks and classic comedy clips too. I'm also on The Arrow every Thursday night from 11pm with a 1 hour show dedicated to live music called 'Best Seat In The House'....and I now have the huge honour of being the drummer (since November '05) in the worlds longest running KISS tribute band, DRESSED TO KILL!!! Feel free to go to www.dressedtokill.org.uk OR www.myspace.com/kisstributeuk for more details on DTK.I still find time to sit in for other bands when they need a stand-in drummer or guitarist, like Dizzy Lizzy and Toxic Twins (Aerosmith tribute); I add a silly voice to the odd radio commercial or 2 now and then; I constantly sink into depression as Birmingham City lose again; and if there's any time left I drink gallons of tea...I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

Kiss (natch!!), Birmingham City F.C. and pretty much all football in general, song-writing/production, comedy writing & performing.
