About Me

I'm Barry, I'm 28 years old and I used to live in the lovely North East town of Gateshead (Gatesheed in the local dialect) before I moved up to Northumberland.I am married to Amy (http://www.myspace.com/i_believe_in_mary_worth)
I am currently working as an administration assistant for a local doctors.Outside of work, I am a volunteer and presenter for Newcastle's first ever full time community radio station NE1 FM (www.ne1fm.com). I present AlterNation with Barry Wilson, Monday's at 7pm, the ultimate selection of unsigned bands, lesser known talent and the best alternative music from the last few decades.I love discovering unsigned and not that well known bands. Not because I want to be "more alternative than thou", but more because I believe that there is a heck of a lot of untapped musical talent out there.
We've had confirmed listeners all over the world, on one occasion AlterNation was played out in a tattoo shop in Virginia USA!
Anyway, welcome to my profile, enjoy your stay, but please, wipe your feet!
Which Trainspotting Character Are You?

My Interests
