We asked Andy some questions:
How did you get into radio
In the eighties I DJ’d in night clubs in Corby, Kettering and Leicester. I joined Corby Radio for it’s first one month broadcast in 1996. From 2000 to 2007 I presented a weekly soul show for another FM station in Peterborough. Then I returned to Corby Radio when it went full-time in 2009 and I haven’t looked back!.
