Selected imaging campaigns made for BBC Hereford & Worcester and BBC Music Introducing.
Highlights from BBC Hereford & Worcester. Featuring a 30th birthday tease from January, the "local-ness" trail, a programme feature jingle and a clip-based programme trail.
Station trails made for BBC Hereford & Worcester, including two listener-based/story trails, two music trails and a Saturday Breakfast show trail.

I bring a load of enthusiasm and personality behind the microphone, especially to support the music I play, whilst adding the occasional appropriately timed anecdote. I also love featuring guests and bringing the best out of them, either sharing their story or adding to a creative radio piece I designed.
Fun fact: I've been presenting on the radio for five years, but somehow had never got round to putting a demo together. Time I put that right: enjoy about four minutes of me, from the past year, on BHBN Hospital Radio!
A compilation of my first year and a bit at BHBN Hospital Radio, being a part of the sports show, commentating, reporting for the station at key events - including the QE Hospital Memory Walk and Great Midlands Fun Run - and general presenting across the network.

The other week I rocked a baby to sleep, not to Twinkle Twinkle, but to ABBA & ACDC. Would I Lullaby To You?
It turns out that you can get lullaby versions of pop songs. On Living Up the Weekend, we tested if music man & Saturday Disco presenter Marky B could spot the tunes from the chimes... to varying results. Fair to say he turned in to a bit of a baby.

A eulogy from a neutral for Aston Villa's top flight status, as heard of BHBN Sport, sponsored by Chiltern Railways Mainline.
As a neutral, it is sad to see a proud club be relegated, so I felt it right to reflect on Villa's history, its predicament and hope for its future. Even though, it turns out, we made a mistake and it should be 1988-2016.
