The big interview April 2005:
What do you do when you're not on the radio?
Sleep eat drink and some more sleep, oh yeah and Dj in venues all over Europe playing everything from dance, house, garage to s club and the 70’s.
How did you start in radio?
Started in 1996 at a small station in Southampton on the Cable and Wireless network, moved to the Capital Radio Group in 1998 and at the launch of SouthCity FM in 1999 it was back to my home town to present Sunday afternoons and mid mornings.
Why you do this job?
What other job do you know of that you can sit in a comfy chair, playing music, talking and eating sticky cakes?
Most famous person you've ever met or interviewed?
Jim Davidson, Lilly Savage, Frank Carson, Atomic Kitten, Rick Waller, Smoke 2 Seven (lovely ladies)!
Who would you most like to meet and why?
There are so many can I have a few? Eric Clapton – the God of guitar because he has had such an interesting life and a great history – Joe Cocker the King of British blues as he seems like the type of guy you would get on with in the pub and keep you entertained for hours and Johnny Vaughn, great for a laugh in the local but watch out for those arrows!!
What was the first ever record you bought?
Cliff Richard and the Young Ones – Living Doll
What are your favourite things in the following subjects:
Food & Drink?
A Good old roast dinner with all the trimmings, Budweiser and full fat milk – I drink about 3 pints per day (milk that is).

TV show as a child?
A Team, Fraggle Rock, Knight Rider, Dukes of Hazard
TV show as an adult?
The above plus, ER, Friends and The Osbournes (stop shouting at me!!!)
Car?
At the moment a BMW 318 with a PHAT stereo and a Robin Hood 3.5 ltr V8 2 seater sports buggy 0-60 in 4.4 seconds (thanks Ed) but I would love a nice Range Rover Vogue, or a Ferarri 355 rag top.
Song?
I really can't choose – the thinking gives me brain overload.
