Mobile DJ – With over 45 years working as a DJ in functions around Scotland this is a chat on what makes a good night, the crowds(West vs East), deaths, murders and marriages that happened over the years. Venues that are gone, sometimes planned others that burned down after a gig!!
Hospital Radio – Having managed Radio Grapevine for around 12 years this is an insight into what goes into running what is a full function radio station. The stories of long and short term patient listeners, the happy ones and sad. The roadshows to raise awareness and the celebrities that helped
Commercial Radio – one of only 400 people who have won a Commercial Radio licence in the UK this covers five years working to get a licence and five years broadcasting on local radio – the music, the stalkers, the characters
DJ – Basically a summary of the three above.

After 35 years in the financial/IT sector Jimmy has now retired.
For 46 years he was a successful DJ covering mobile, hospital and commercial radio and is one of less than 400 people to be awarded a commercial radio licence in the UK.
He continues to work in the charity sector and now offers talks and workshops that fall into two interconnected headings - Work and Life.
Work - With almost 35 years working for Lloyds Banking Group Jimmy has extensive experience of managing and motivating colleagues. For the last 12 he was part of a team of 5 that managed over 1,000 project managers delivering the IT portfolio at LBG.
Life - Jimmy is a firm believer and advocate of work/life balance and his life stories reflect this. These include mobile DJ, Hospital and Commercial Radio, entertainment and riding a Harley Davidson. He hosts regular charity malt tasting nights and auctions, amongst other events.
