As can be discerned elsewhere on this webiste, I have a lifelong passion for radio. As part of that, I've listened to BBC Radio 4 all my life (I'm just too young to remember it as the Home Service) and listen whenever I can, whether it's the news, a documentary, a play or a panel show. Earlier this month I turned that passion into an evening I've wanted to put on for many a year.

New Year... time for a new profile pic. The one I've been using for a while was a snapshot taken by Wendy Bailey at a social function in October 2012 and, well, it's had its day.
The new one was taken on 27 Novemner 2018 by a professional photographer, Maria Uhlin, from the GS1 Sweden Photo Studio - hence the supermarket-like background. There's a high resolution of this available which was cropped from the original.
I can't help but notice that there's less hair and more chins - oh and, yes, that's an EU flag in my button hole and, OK, it's a statement.
With a bit of luck, this will do for the next 5 years at least. Thanks to Maria and GS1 Sweden for letting me use this royalty-free.
