Biography

Trained at BBC Radio Brighton.

His favorite song is "Northern Sky" by Nick Drake.

Formerly a DJ on BBC Radio One.

He was a DJ at BBC Radio Nottingham.

BBC Radio One DJ (May 1986 - February 2001).

Marillion ... where are they now? And who cares anyway?

[on working as a DJ on Radio One] There was a time when you could go for hours without playing anything with a guitar in it and it was just wall-to-wall dance. But I think in the six months before I left it was actually becoming more and more enjoyable and there were more and more new guitar bands coming through and I was enjoying it as much as ever.

I always thought as a kid working at Radio 1 would be the most fun and the best place for any presenter to work and I still think that's true.

[on Doctor Who (1963)] David Tennant was my favourite: the past Doctors were fine for their time but, compared with what David did, they all look a bit weak and cheesy.

Paul Weller has a definite aura of stardom about him. This is obviously due to his catalogue of hits over 4 decades, his air of 'cool' and the critical response to his current work. But part of it I think is because he is not an easy interview!
