North Tyneside

I've a passion for music (60's & 70's being my favourite) and have been involved with radio presenting since the early 80's in one form or another. 30 years on and I'm now broadcasting at Radio Tyneside in Newcastle, presenting the Friday afternoon show and the oldies show, Backtrack on a Sunday afternoon.

My daytime job (yes, the one that pays the mortgage) is in I -T, working in the ePos sector. I've been married to Sheila for 28 years and have a grown up son and daughter. I enjoy listening to all kinds of music, and prefer listening to radio over watching TV.
