1974
Sometime during the spring of this year my voice
was heard for the first time. London was never
the same.
1977
Dunstable, Bedfordshire. My days consisted of
annoying my brother and listening to Radio Luxembourg
at night; hidden under the covers.
1981
Bought my very first record: Bee Gees –
Living Eyes.
(Yes, I do still have it)
1982
Moved to Luxembourg and continued to argue with
my brother…
1993
Set foot for the first time in a production studio;
a mere school trip that has defined my life since.
1994
Left school with a degree in Graphic Art…threw
my diploma in the
bin…and pestered the production studio into
giving me a job.
2005
Thousands of voice-overs, answering machines,
adverts later I heard that Radio Luxembourg was
being re-launched…and that they were looking
to hire a native English Studio Assistant…who
also spoke Luxembourgish. In other words: me!
?
Likes
Tequila, Tex-Mex food, chocolate; sunshine, Billy
Joe Armstrong, arguing with my brother; X-Files
and snuggling up with Gobbolino and Lucy Fur –
my two kitties.
Hates
Putting on weight because of too much tequila,
Tex-Mex and chocolate; traffic jams; spiders;
and people telling me what I can or can’t
do.
Goals
Get back to jogging 3 times a week (so I can indulge
in tequila; Tex-Mex and chocolate); win the lottery;
move to San Francisco, or Quebec; build an animal
hospital; save all the stray animals in Luxembourg;
become a vet; invent a chocolate that helps you
lose weight; learn Russian, Spanish and Mandarin
Chinese; organize the first annual Country-Rock
Festival in Luxembourg; and marry Billy Joe.
That can’t
be hard now…can it?
