Paul lives in Newbury and couldn't wait to get involved in the station. He's always loved radio and, like many presenters, managed to wangle his way into 'the business' through a combination of talent and luck! Paul was in Oxford when Fox FM was about to launch and spotted a door open - so he sneaked in, left his demo tape on the programme controllers desk and a few days later got that magical call!
Highlights of his career include working alongside radio legends Tony Blackburn and Dave Lee Travis and appearing on Page 3 of the Sun...mercifully with his clothes on!
Locally, Paul's helped warm-up the crowds at both the Hungerford and Thatcham Xmas Lights 2009 ceremonies. Just don't ask him to repeat his "famous" Christmas joke!
