What do you do?

Some people would say as little as possible but let me tell you that I work very hard driving my taxi just like in the TV series. I'm just as mad so they say I still do a little DJ work occasionally.

 

Involvement with hospital radio

Started in the early days with Radio Liff and was made chairman but due to family problems I had to leave. Then one night I got a phone call from Paul Rudd telling me about the merging of the two hospital stations and he invited me up to the last day and Fiona Armstrong interviewed me that was me hooked so blame Fiona its all her fault.

 

Favourite music

The Firm with Captain James T Kirk - yes, the star trekking song??????? No seriously I do enjoy some heavy Metal Led Zepplin, Meatloaf, My Chemical Romance etc. But the great thing about doing the request show is that you get such a great variety of music with some exceptions like Daniel O'Donnell & if any Daniel O'Donnell fans would like to send me any hate mail address it to The Rubbish Bin at BRIDGEfm, Level 5, Ninewells Hospital, Dundee.

 

First music bought.

Don Spencer - Fireball (1963) Theme from the TV programme I now use it for my Mystery year.

SLADE - Coz I love You (1971) but my sister placed it on the radiator and warped it before I got a chance to play it.

 

First album

Slayed by Slade.

 

Ambition in life

I would like to be able to do my own show professionally, or at least do my Sunday show with out making any mistakes.

 

Boyhood heroes

Dave Lee Travis, Johnny Walker, Bob Harris, Jimmy Saville, Stuart Hendry and all those wonderful DJ’s (Presenters) from the likes of Radio 1, Radio Luxembourg, and Radio Caroline.
