About ANDY SMART

Retired journalist. I worked in news, sport, features mainly for regional and local newspapers with some radio broadcasting. More recently I helped to produce a nostalgia magazine called Bygones which looked at aspects of Nottinghamshire's history (but with lots of general interest) and I have been reviewing musical theatre for the Nottingham Post for more than 20 years, interviewing celebrities over the years.
