1965 Radio City (1965 - 1966)

Well the last few years were the culmination of a promise I'd made when I joined Radio City. I was reminded by a listener who told me that in those long gone days, I'd said that I'd one day have my own radio station. I have to say that at times it was doubtful I'd ever realise that ambition. Winning a license is an amazingly difficult time consuming and expensive process

Hailing from a nautical family and having a flair for music there was a natural draw to the sea and with Offshore Radio. Short of DJ's I found myself a young lad aboard an abandoned WW2 Sea Fort on Shivering Sands off the coast of Southern England. I didn't realize how lucky I was to have made it to Radio City, perhaps I was unlucky as that experience was to map out my whole life

1993 Medway FM 1993 (1992 - 2000)

I was part of the winning team successful in securing the North Kent licence in face of fierce competition. In its first 3 years Medway FM became a credible, respected and highly successful radio station

In my role as Programme Director (PD) and mid-day presenter at Medway FM I was instrumental in growing the audience to 20% throughout Medway & 15% in the rest of North Kent. Bought by DMG Radio (Daily Mail Group) I remained as PD and continued for a while with GWR after they aquired the station

In addition to Medway I was involved most of the Kent ILR applications. I worked on five of TLR (Thanet Local Radio) seven broadcasts, & wrote part of its application. I worked on the Dover/Folkestone, Gateway Radio, The Sound, White Cliffs Radio, and Coastline. In Canterbury I was an integral part of Kent Coast Radio and EKR (East Kent Radio) all as a prelude to licenses being awarded in those respective areas. I was also responsible for three Maidstone RSL's run under the Medway FM banner

Born and bred in Kent it was natural progression for me to become involved with one of the first BBC local stations. BBC Radio Medway launched on 18th December 1970 @18.00 hours. I was to be a freelance from 1973 and again work for the station through the 1980's after it became Radio Kent

Other stations where I've been heard include KFJZ/Z97 in Dallas/Fort Worth USA, and JBM (Juke Box Memories) the ILR sustaining service. I also worked as "Red Sands" on Radio Fax the innovative Irish short wave station,and programmed & presented on Europa Radio International

The gaps in between saw me work for SERED and Sovereign Recording Studios, as well as running the PA and recording the Diocesen Confences at Canterbury Cathedral, we repaired TV's, radios and installed arials. From there I joined R.E Cranfield, Sound and Vision Department where I also trained as a photographer. To enable me to keep active in radio I briefly worked as a milk boy, bought, refurbished and sold cars, before returning to electronics at GEC Avionics (Elliott Brothers, Marconi Avionics now BEA Systems) as a commissioning engineer on the A7 Corsair for the USAF then as Senior Reliability Engineer for General Dynamics on the F16 aiurcraft taking the HUD through reliability. The final non-radio job was at EPS where I devised, and project managed an integrated Naval Submarine containment system

At the invitation of the owners I worked at a privately owned radio station in Malta

I returned to re-brand and image Calypso 102 which under went a major change to be re-launched as 102.3 Calypso FM

I once again presented a daily programme and turned the station around to became the second most popular in the islands

I can still be heard across the Mediterranean on various commercials
