My love of music started at a very young age, with my first record player and album. When I got into my early teens, I learnt and played the drums until the late 70s. When I started to help a friend with DJing, I was hooked. The drums got sold and disco equipment was bought, and I have never looked back. 

In the mid 80s I joined Southampton hospital radio at the same time as a very young presenter call Scott Mills. Unfortunately, I had to give up the radio owing to work commitments. 

Over the years I've worked in a lot of top venues along with an array of celebrities, and I still have a great passion for what I do.  I was thrilled to be given the opportunity to join Fiesta 95 FM, doing my own show every Tuesday as well as now being part of The Drive Time Show Team.

Hello,

I started out DJing in a local youth club many years ago then as time moved on so did I.

I then moved onto mobile DJing around the local area which included pubs clubs and private functions then I changed to radio, as a volunteer at radio lollipop which is a charity based Children's radio station at Southampton general hospital which was a lot of fun!

I then progressed on to Southampton hospital radio doing a request program aimed at children in hospital I learnt a lot from doing that.

I started seriously buying music in around 1970 which would mainly be Soul & Reggae! Then Jazz Funk came along which eventually got me into my love of jazz!

I held my first DJ gig at the 5th year unit at school and have been regularly playing at events in and around the Southampton and surrounding areas ever since! 

First got into radio in the late 90's with  short stints on Radio Victory (producing and compiling shows) and co presenting on Vibe FM! Been presenting a regular soul show on an Internet station since 2013 and also loads of jazz shows!

With a lifelong interest in comedy I mix a very varied playlist of cracking music with regular comedy clips. I have features such as The Bad Boy B side, tracks from a parent performer and their son or daughter in The Parent and Child Reunion. I have 3 ballads back to back with no talking in The Mellow Minutes as well.  Every week we also have 3 songs from a chosen Rock Legend. 

So tune in 11am every Saturday for 2 hours of great comedy and music. As Del Boy would say “You know it makes sense”
