Hi Folks, I'm called Jock (amongst other things)  and I have been presenting a Scottish program since 1980.,during my 12 years in Liverpool, I played approximately 40,000 Scottish requests, all vinyl.  This was only to be a two week fill in to help out 2GL.  I finished up doing two shows a week with a crew of 4.  I left there and went to Penrith, Campbelltown and Mittagong, eventually landing at Wollongong and then finally, Nowra.  I've had three spells here, amounting to approximately 12 years.  I've seen a lot of changes in Community Radio since 1980, some of it for the better and some not so good.  Triple U has become one of the best I've ever worked at.  I recently commenced hosting "Family Favourites" on Tuesday afternoons 2- 4, which I hope you enjoyed.

Now, something about meee - I came from Dundee, Scotland with a wife and two boys in 1950, as a ten pound migrant in 1950 and landed with a pound that I borrowed. (I had been to Australia before as a merchant seaman, sailing on the big liners, since 1947).  I was never unemployed and did a bit of singing in pubs, for weddings etc. as a tenor.  I was the singing waiter in a pub in Sydney for approximately 18 months.  I eventually became the MC/DJ at a lot of Scottish dances,  and still keep my hand in, so I may see you around.  I could chatter on forever about myself and my experiences, but I hope this wee profile will be enough to whet your appetites and tune in.

Thanks for your interest and stay tuned to Triple U FM
