It was a chance meeting with (now former members) Cathie Hague and Alison Butler at a Harrogate Hotel on Christmas Eve 2008 that started it all!

They told me how good Harrogate Hospital Radio was, and I was persuaded over a glass or two of wine to apply to join the station.

I can honestly say I have fulfilled a lifelong ambition to broadcast and have met a wonderful set of people!

I have been very lucky to have been given the Monday Night Request Show slot, from 8-10pm.

It is a great show to do, with all kinds of music, a quiz, a Golden Oldies Top 10 slot and my own “Random” Top 10!

Away from the radio, I enjoy singing with Harrogate Operatic Players, Harrogate Choral Society and hobbies include playing the piano, walking, Leeds United, pop and sport trivia, and very poor impersonations!
