I have been privileged to represent North Walney as a Borough Councillor for the last 20 years and my proudest moment came as representing the town as Mayor for the year 2017/18.
I am passionate about Barrow and have a huge passion for music across all genres.
Being a presenter for CandoFM really is a dream come true and I hope to play a positive role in helping the Station grow bigger and bigger, and with the quality presenters on the rota this really is an incredibly exciting time moving forward.
I have become a trustee for the North West Music and Arts Academy which will be based at 102 Abbey Road
Along with playing the drums and learning the ropes as a wannabe singer, music is heavily at the heart of my life.
A big Happy Days to all the listeners ……… this is your community station.
