I was working 7 nights a week in no time at all . The Old Wishing Well,The Hard Rock, Amadeus, Junction 43. I was everywhere. Then in the October I went to Junction 43 on my night off and sang a song on Karaoke. Much to my surprise I was offered a job as a karaoke presenter instantly by Sheila. Good friends John and Angie lent me the dosh to buy the kit and next minute there I was doing karaoke 5 nights a week. Pete Scott gave me heaps of advice and encouragement at this particular point in time for which I shall be ever grateful. Loads of work followed over the next 6 years at venues all over the island. Meanwhile In 96 I heard a rumour that you could buy airspace on the local radio station. This interested me greatly as I had always wanted to do radio since I worked briefly on Swansea Sound in 1985. My friend Stuart Freeman had taken me under his wing as a roving reporter on his lunchtime show, but then he moved on and I didn't have a foot in the door any longer.

Anyway the rumour was true so I bought a show from 3 till 5 in the afternoon Mon till Fri. Met loads and loads of people and had even more fun. It was through this venture that I befriended Jules and the late Eric Corrie and Anthony Harrison. We all worked on Radio Litoral 93.3. Then one day we arrived at the studio and they had changed the lock. No explanation no nothing, so that was that.

In June 1999 I received a message that the owner of the Colegio Hispano Brittanico in Lanzarote, Roger Deign wanted to have a chat with me about radio. I duly arranged an appointment to see him and went along to the meeting that was to change my life dramatically. He told me that he had enjoyed listening to my old show on Radio Litoral and asked if I thought we should have a full time British station in Lanzarote. Yes of course I replied. Well go and set one up and give me the bill s he says. Ok I said. I remember leaving and thinking what has my big mouth got me into now.
