Having done the Evening Show at 96.6 Oasis FM for over 2½ years it was time to move on and a vacancy "arrived" at Ten17 in Harlow following the sacking of a regular presenter, it was closer to where I lived, a much smaller station, but a daytime slot, so worth a go, it was a bit dodgy to start with from day one really, gwr had taken over the group, everyone was worried about the inevitable job losses and I made no point of hiding my thoughts about the fact that I cant stand the way gwr operate.

So surprise surprise I was made "redundant", not the first and certainly wont be the last by a long shot.

So after a pathetic three months at Harlow FM, I just took a break from radio for a while, chilled out and relaxed.

With it getting towards Christmas and me wanting to get back on the air I sent out a couple of demo tapes, within a week Dave Richardson from 107.9 The Eagle in Cambridge was on the phone and I was off to do proper radio again.
