Radio JourneyI started at Hospital Radio St Helier when I was 18.
Favorite Part of RadioThe creativity.
Weirdest On-Air MomentProbably pressing the "next" button accidentally several times and completely scrapped the news! Poor newsreaders. They were waiting an hour to broadcast and I completely stacked it for them and went to the next song instead!!
Dream InterviewMy favourite drummer, Vinnie Colaiuta who has played with practically every top musician on the planet. He's an absolute hero to me.
Mood Lifter SongSeveral spring to mind: 'Labour of Love' - Hue and Cry, 'Breakout' - Swing Out Sister, or 'Cuddly Toy' - Roachford.
First Album OwnedThe Medium Wave Band!! They were a club band in the seventies that we saw at a restaurant!!
Secretly Hated SongAnything by Maroon 5. His voice is so processed, he sounds like a robot.
