A varied background. But when BBC Local Radio was substantially cut a year or two ago he presented the 7pm show across the BBC Local Radio network. He was therefore the chosen voice for BBC Local Radio being the absolute opposite of its remit and name. I listened to a fair bit of it to decide what I felt. He would have been suitable for BBC R1 in the mid 1980s.

It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.
No - she works for the authorities now; but only at Christmas.
She's a Minsk Spy.

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
