Bands Night....Where New Music Has a Home
Monday 9pm-Midnight

Life before Meridian fm - what were you up to?
I lived in South East London (or souf London as they say) from the age of 2 till 19 and have only been in wonderful East Grinstead for 5 years. Always staying around the music scene I have done various different types of radio from dodgy london tower blocks to a bit of hospital radio given me, I like to think, a wide range of different geners of music. When I moved to East Grinstead I found meridian FM which has great variety of music and gives a little something to everyone.

The first music track I bought was…
I sort of remember the first CD bought for me on my brand new CD player as they were new at the time, God I feel old. The CD was greatest hits of the 90's or some like that, and had on it Bonnie Tyler, Meat Loaf, Pulp and Europe with the Final Countdown, dare I say I actually loved that tune when I was a kid I was really young my taste I like to think is a lot better.

I don't feel like dancing - what will you play to get me on the dance floor?
You'll have to tune in each and every Saturday 6-8pm. East Grinstead's finest with your dancing shoes at the ready.

Which song sums up your journey so far?
Chris Rea and road to hell as I have spent a lot of time on the dreaded M25.

A day at the races or a night at the opera?
Races all the way my money's on 3legs.

I wish I had invented…
The mobile phone, We would all be lost without it.

The invite says fancy dress, who are you going as?
I once went as the Mask, I like to be a man of mystery

Ah, there's the receipt - what are you returning and what do you want instead?
Always buying the latest gadget out even if it's like something I already have, I get sucked into the sale I cant help it so I would take one I already had for the newest one that should save some money.

What song have you listened to the most?
Apart from Europe and final countdown and hearing Wham and jitterbug at every cheesy club/party I really like Smooth Criminal by Michael he he Jackson as well as so many others you prob hear a couple of them on my sat take out show 6-8 each and every Sat.

I hate to ask...but whose autograph did you insist on getting?
Has to be my palace centenary shirt with the whole team signatures on it pride and joy and is framed on the wall at home.

Which song do you wish you'd written?
Tainted love would have been a money making one with the amount of remixes made.

It's my round - what are you having?
Not much of a drinker so Golf?

Je ne regrette rien - et vous?
Huh????

We've been a great audience - how will you send us home smiling?
With a joke.

My philosophy on life in one word is…
Live

I have taken part in an extreme sport… (If not, which would you consider doing?)
Sky diving is something I would love to try out but not sure if I could go through it one day I hope.

If I could invite anyone, living or dead, to dinner for some great conversation I would ask…
Peter Griffin from Family Guy I love that program

I think the most overrated/underrated thing or person is…
tough one will have to get back to you on that.
