Hey

About Me

MyGen Profile Generator MyGen Profile GeneratorHi there, I'm Andy Holmes, twenty-six years old and ready to hit the big time on TV. This is the best place on the web to find out more about me and view my TV showreel too. I'm a DJ at Bowl Xtreme in Worcester and also freelance on the radio as a presenter, producer, journalist or voice coach. I've worked for GCap Media at Coventry and Warwickshire's Mercia FM(Breakfast Newsreader and Presenter), Gloucestershire's Severn Sound(Presenter), Herefordshire and Worcestershire's Wyvern FM(Breakfast Newsreader and Presenter) and Leicester Sound(Presenter). I've also worked for Emap as a Sports Reporter for TFM and for the CN Group at Touch FM in Stratford. And I launched The Local Radio Companies Ivel FM in Somerset as Breakfast Presenter and have worked for Classic Hits, BBC Hereford and Worcester and Star 107 in Stroud. I've also worked for the Worcester News as a Sports Reporter and have had my own columns in two newspapers and written for a number of Sports Fanzines. I have a major passion for writing and have a couple of novels in production and a few scripts that I'm aiming to polish up and show around when they're finished. But my current goal is to make it as a TV presenter, so if you're interested, take a look at my showreel and let me know what you think!

My Interests

Following Hereford United through thin and more thin has been a lifetime passion when I get the chance. Also play Sunday Football at an unacceptable standard and play at a similar level on the cricket field when work allows. I try to keep in shape too and head down the gym when it's not to cold! I also really love DJaying and performing and feel really lucky that I'm able to earn money doing what I enjoy.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone whose been into Bowl Xtreme and seen me working, you can find me there most Friday nights and Saturdays in the DJ booth. Or anyone with an interest in Djaying, Radio, TV and script writing. And if you're not interested in any of those things, say 'hi' anyway!! Also, anyone I've worked with in the past, feel free to say 'Good Morning'!!

Music:

Eminem, Rhianna, Coolio, Warren G, Love Keish White's 'Weakness in Me'(Song of 2006 for me), Jamelia. Currently I also have a strange liking for El Chaccaron and the dance music I play(as long as it's 128rpm as it's easier to beat match!!! lol)

Books:

Been reading a whole bunch of Football Books that I got for Christmas. But the best book EVER is The Complete Pratt by David Nobbs whose a Hereford United fan too and also my favourite author. Do an Amazon search for the man, who I think is a God.
