I have a great passion for music (and Malt Whisky). Terry Wogan [well known cheesy UK media personality] once mistook me for a millionaire. I was born in the Midlands in 1961. After working in London for some 20 years, my family home is now in a cottage in rural Nottinghamshire. For nearly 20 years I worked for the BBC and for most of that time also helped with the outside broadcast of the Glastonbury festival. I frequently use music to sound-track my life. As a spotty youth I would avidly read ‘Sounds’ magazine. The arrival of Punk (Richard Hell, The Clash, Johnny Thunders) opened my eyes to the wide variety of musical possibilities – so much so that it would be nearly impossible to list even my top 10 musicians. I spend much of my free time at live music gigs. I also have a vast vinyl and CD music collection (all catalogued!) and a pathetically encyclopaedic knowledge of wide genres of music, bands, albums, record labels etc; I’m nowhere near as dull as that makes me sound! I’m imaginative, friendly, house trained and have a good sense of humour (no really I do).
