What do you do?

Finished college back in June and gained my HNC in Radio Broadcasting which got me a job at Dundee's local radio station, Wave 102. Also currently DJ'ing at London Nightclub.

 

Involvement with hospital radio

Joined in April 2003 and now part of the BRIDGEfm Sports Team bringing you exclusive commentary from all of Dundee and Dundee United's home games only here on Hospital Radio BRIDGEfm! Former shows include the Thursday Night Request Show and Sunday Classics.

 

Favourite music

I don't really have a fave type of music! My iPod is just a total mixed batch of music including Coldplay, Oasis, Rod Stewart, Queen, Kanye West, Girls Aloud and The Killers just to name a few.

 

First music bought

The 7-inch versions of 'Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini' by Timmy Mallet and MC Hammers' 'U Can't Touch This'!

 

Favourite things

My car, my mobile phone (sad, I know), my CDs and headphones, DJ'ing, BRIDGEfm, Cinema, Football and Golf. I also enjoy going out for a nice meal and a few cheeky bottles of Corona ;) My friends and family, without them I wouldn't be here and for their support through everything - especially my Mum & Dad, Lyndsey and Iain.

 

What does hospital radio mean to you?

To make patients stay in Hospital more pleasant.

 

Funniest thing ever happened to you while involved in hospital radio?

I think it was my first or second week working with Mark and we had been chatting on air about football or showbiz news or something and he had introduced the next record (it was Bryan Adams 'Summer of '69' if I remember correctly) and it had started. So there I was having a jolly old sing song to myself, little did I know that my mic was still up full! Everyone must've had a right laugh!

 

Ambition in life

To be successful in everything I do and live life to the fullest.
