| I was born in
Aberdeen on June 1st 1958 and as a young child I was
fascinated by Radio and used to tune in to all the music
and comedy shows. My favourite programmes were comedies
like the Navy Lark and Round the Horne. I was a keen fan of pirate stations like Radio Scotland and Radio North Sea International. Over the years I gradually became an Offshore Radio enthusiast and started to collect hundreds of tapes I was very interested in the voices behind the microphone. I remember listening to DJ's like Kenny Everett, Johnnie Walker, Emperor Rosko, Robbie Dale and Noel Edmonds and always thought that would be a brilliant job. |

In 1974 I left school and began working in a record shop and began to mix and socialise with Disco DJ's. So it was hardly surprising that I started working for most of the top Mobile Disco's in the North East of Scotland. For the next five years I toured around playing at most of the top venues in the area.However it was still my burning ambition to break into Radio. |
