I was working with Jim Campbell's daughter, Susan Mackenzie. She did shows on the station (then Cuillin FM). She knew I loved music, and encouraged me to become a presenter. At first I was reluctant, but she got me to sit in on her shows, to gain the confidence to do it.

I did rock music shows at first. I also did a folk music show. I even did a classical music show for a while. Then about 15 years ago I got the chance of doing a Sunday morning show, which I still do, and love it.

It's hard to pick a moment, but for me, over the years, it's been the listeners that have made it amazing. They have supported and inspired me in equal measure.
I've made lots of new friends. Not only from the listeners, but from fellow presenters.

Difficult one. I do love Robert's Friday Night Trad. He plays some good music, and I like his style of presenting.
I also like Harry's prog rock show, The Hawk Hour. I like the Rapha Report with Raph and Sam M too. We have some great young presenters on Radio Skye.
