TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT YOURSELF: I am in my 60's, married with 3 children and 2 grandchildren. Originally from Ireland, I used to play music in the Irish dancehalls in the 60's and 70's. I retired from playing live music due to ill health, I make up for it now by playing requests on the radio.

WHAT IS YOUR SHOW ABOUT? I play requests, and visit the wards to get the patients involved as much as I can, I also give out the news and sport.

FAVOURITE SONG/SINGER/GROUP: Elvis and The Beatles, I haven't got a favourite song

WHAT CHR MEANS TO ME: CHR means a way of getting the patients relaxed and used to hospital radio as soon as possible after they are admitted to a ward.

A BRIEF BIOGRAPHY: Born in Ireland and educated at Cardinal Wiseman School in Coventry. I have been involved in music all my life, both performing and recording. I love a mixture of music from jazz to opera. I also present a show on a community radio station called "Hands Across The Water", it is an Irish based show with a mixture of Irish and country music.
