I have been involved with Radio Jackie since it first started in 1969. I was born in Hammersmith and have lived in a variety of places in South West London, including North Cheam, South Wimbledon, Ham (in Ham House Gate House) and Kew (just opposite Kew Gardens - which was great to relax in).

I now live in Epsom with Jane and our young son, Ben. We often check out a few local events during the weekend around Epsom and Ewell. You'll normally find me at the Hook Arena or Horton Lane car boot sales. Now and again we like to visit Richmond Park, particularly the Isabella Plantation. Also you may bump into us at the Banstead Sports Centre every weekend.

Every Saturday I normally pick up a take away from the Monihar restaurant in Ewell. If not that, the it's off to the new Thai restaurant in Epsom, near the library.
