1. How did you get into radio?
Via a fishing boat, actually. I met Dave Cash at the Marquee club in London and he introduced me to some Americans who were setting up a new radio station and were looking for people with no radio experience so that they could train them in their style of presentation.

Terrible. In May 1966 from the high seas on Swinging Radio England on a ship off Frinton.

When I left school I was an accountant. During the school hols I was a writer in a hotel, plus the inevitable paper round.

Handsome. Or sound mixer/tour manager for Brian Wilson/Beach Boys.

Buy houses in Portugal, San Francisco and Knightsbridge, make my children financially secure and give away the rest to people who need some help.
