The Question & Answer Zone...

What's your favourite genre of music?

My music taste is very wide, presenting the chart show I hear and play all sorts from my favourite cheesy pop to the indie and rock. I would say favourite is the indie, pop-rock however if you ever see me try and dance it usually to the disco classics, can beat them!.

When you're not at Epsom Hospital Radio, what are you doing?

Well I have many jobs, however only one pays me, during the day I am the UK Safety Officer for the British Red Cross, as well as this I am the safety officer and facilities manager for Hampton & Richmond Football Club. In my spare time (is that possible) I am a member of St John Ambulance providing first aid to the public at events.

If you had £1,000,000 to spend on yourself and no-one else what would you spend it on?

I would spend some on my football club, its not self indulgent but it would give me a lot of pleasure, as for the rest I would buy me some special treats, the classic big TV, big sound system and a nice place to live, then it would probably it all gone.

What is your ideal holiday destination?

I don’t often get away, but I still think you can't beat a proper British holiday on the South Coast of England, fish and chips by the sea, going out between the rain showers and exploring somewhere new. Weymouth has always been a favourite place of mine.

What is your favourite film?

I would have to say back to the future trilogy is still one of my all time favourites, but out them I would pick the first one, film classic.

What is your favourite TV programme?

I avoid a lot of TV now, anything to not have to see another reality show! But I couldn’t say just one, Doctor Who, Harry Hill's TV Burp and a bit of Family Guy would see me through an evening in.

Who is your favourite comedian?

Again a tough one, if you could have a mix of Tim Vine, Peter Kay and Harry Hill I think I would have them!

Who is your favourite sports team/star?

Well my favourite and only sports team is Hampton & Richmond Borough FC, takes a lot of explaining to people but Non-League football is my first love, and Hampton are my team.

What is your favourite drink?

Anything wet.

What is your favourite food?

Loving a nice tomatoes and garlic chicken pasta, but only when my dad makes it! He is legend in the kitchen.

What inspires you?

The thought that someone is interested in what I'm saying, or is smiling because a song I'm playing has sparked a good memory.

Middle name?

Michael Andrew (after my dad and grandfather)

Star sign?

Libra.

Weird & wonderful talents?

Ohh so many, but I suppose my talent to do a radio report while holding a microphone, a burger and a drink and not spill any and get the report right is the main one.

Most treasured belongings?

My St John Ambulance uniforms and disco equipment.

Favourite smell?

I could say sweet smell of success but that would be very cheesy, I love the smell of fresh cut grass on a spring morning, but it does havoc with my hay fever!
