1972 - 1979 Radio Rush Green - Hospital Radio Romford - Programme Controller

  

1980 - Short spell at Chelmsford Hospital Radio

  

1985-1987 - Founder member and Vice Chairman of Castle Radio in Colchester.  Group founded to run community radio service in Colchester (before the rules changed - again!).  Obtained a two day RSL to broadcast first legal commercial radio station in Colchester.

  

1999 - Short spell Oldchurch Hospital Radio

  

2004- Present - Hooray!  Along came Offshore Music Radio - presented opening programme in March 2004 for OMR.  I'm still there today where I can be heard on Saturday lunch time 11am to 1pm UK time.

  

Likes - 60s and 70s music, Chinese food, Sunday roast, holidays in the USA and Spain, having my family around me.

  

Dislikes - Bad customer service (don't start me on that one!), being called "Col".

  

Favourite Music - The Beatles, Status Quo, Love, Man Of Action by Les Reed (see favourite radio station below!) and quite a few more.

  

Favourite Radio Station - Radio Nordsee International 1970-1974.  Listening to that station influenced my life and started my interest in radio although I did listen to the 60s pirates.

  

Favourite Dee Jay - Robert W Morgan from KHJ in Los Angeles.  Unfortunately now no longer with us - what a voice!

  

Memorable Occasions - Getting married, starting on hospital radio, OMR's opening day, live broadcast from the MV Communicator for Offshore Music Radio in 2004.

  

Ambitions - To see Offshore Music Radio succeed and broadcast on satellite and to live a long and happy life (not doing too bad so far!)
