Committee Member:
I joined Scarborough College in 1961, aged 10, as a scholarship pupil and left in 1969. I didn’t get on with my university course and left to manage record shops and to become a DJ in a rock club. I joined the BBC in 1987 and qualified as a journalist, spending 20 years as a reporter for radio and TV. I worked for local mental health charities for four years following this in 2011, I became a voice artist and scriptwriter. Although I’m now officially retired, I continue to provide support to Scarborough’s Stephen Joseph Theatre, giving public readings of work by new writers and rehearsed readings of submitted scripts.
