Amy has been associated with Nevis Radio for about ten years, initially through her father, the much missed Willie Cameron (click here for a sample of what the Lochaber community thought of Willie).

Amy plays tenor drum in The Lochaber High School pipe band, and she also plays the French horn.

She is studying for highers, and hopes to go on to train as a radiographer. Amy can also be seen (but seldom recognised) beneath helmet and leathers as she takes to the hills with the Lochaber Motorcycle club.

Andy started his radio career in 1991 when he was asked to present daily Roadshows for the BBC Children In Need national tour. Since then Andy has worked for various radio stations throughout the U.K., stations in the U.S., the Baltic's, and SKY Digital, before joining the team at Nevis radio in the Spring of 2008.

When he isn't on the radio, he is busy with his production company, which he founded early 2006 providing radio stations affordable audio jingles. His musical tastes range from a mix of real classics to up to date music, being the first to bring you a taste of tomorrow's hits.

Belle is a presenter without portfolio and we would love to hear more about Belle, and hope that this prompts Belle to provide a profile soon. Belle co-presents with Linda, Country Connections.

When it comes to personality Bernie has the experience to bring a warm, sexy charm as well as a tongue-in-cheek view on the woman¹s world; and we shouldn't be shy about talking-up Bernie's deep and sexy vocal talents, because when Bernie¹s voice throbs out of the radio the ladies pay attention!

Rich Clarke

Have you got the best job in the world?
Tough call... I love my job, it is officially ace, however if I could be a Domino's Pizza tester for the day that would be brilliant.

What is your first chart memory?
My friends at school used to try and "out chart" each other by memorising how many weeks songs had been in the top 40. I have the memory of a fish (and a life) so could never compete, however I do remember my Nan buying me a Jive Bunny record when I was a kid because it was number 1. I've still got it. One day you'll see me on the Antiques Roadshow clutching it with pride and telling them it was No. 1 for five weeks.

What is the most listened to song on my iPod?
I always dread these questions because it's usually something really tragic... but... I can report it's currently La Roux 'In for the Kill' ...slightly more credible than the second most listened to track, 'Where's the Party' by Madonna (c'mon the sun was out when I wrote this).

What is the most embarrassing track on your iPod?
I'm not embarrassed about any of them. However my mp3 player plays the tracks out loud if the headphones fall out of the hole. Not so good if you've got Michael Buble blaring out on a packed train.

Who would you most like to get on the show?
The best guests have always been the ones you thought would be awful. I have a rule that if the band was around when I was growing up, I tend to get a bit more nervous about it. So interviewing Madonna would be incredible. I'd be terrified, but it would be an amazing experience.

What was the first album you bought?
Erhm, Roxette... 'Joyride'. Apparently they're getting back together.

Favourite gig you've ever been to?
I love it when Iím surprised at a gig. I went to see Linkin Park last year and it was amazing. Equally seeing Snow Patrol recently was incredible. The reaction to some of their bigger singles was probably the most electrifying moment I have experienced at a gig.

What's the best thing about working with Kat?
She has a ready supply of ketchup. If ever you need any condiments to complement your meal, Kat’s got a stack in her locker.


Kat Shoob

Have you got the best job in the world?
My mum definitely thinks it is...

What is your first chart memory?
Don't think it's legal but recording the songs and trying to press stop before the DJ spoke... puts me out of a job slightly though doesn't it. Also use to record it and make up dance routines stomping around in my bedroom... Play... rewind... play.. rewind...

What is the most listened to song on my iPod?
Stevie Wonder - Part Time Lover.

What is the most embarrassing track on your iPod?
Yeah I like a bit of Buble but only because I think he might be singing it to me and me only... that's bit embarrassing and bit stalker like.

Who would you most like to get on the show?
Stevie Wonder or Lionel Richie.

What was the first album you bought?
2 Unlimited, can't remember the name but I think it was the only one they brought out actually. It had that great hit 'No no, no no no no, no no no no , no no there's no limit!!!!

What's the best thing about working with Rich?
Nothing... ha ha!! Jokes! I love Richard Clarke very much and he makes me see sense when I am being a stupid girl pants. Also he is constantly eating Pizza or going to a Theme Park, it's brilliant!

Bill Skeoch is a presenter with Nevis Radio. We are currently working very hard to get Bill's protfolio back online.

Until recently Billy presented the weekday mid morning show, but has now moved to Sunday’s memories. He has a collection of more than 11,000 tracks, which he has been playing alphabetically by title since June 2008. Playing 20 tracks a week he should reach 2017 before having to start all over again!

Billy originates from Coatbridge, he moved to Mallaig in 1983, and now lives in Caol. Years ago he used to roadie for a band called Gil, Todd and the Tikis who I am sure you will remember were popular around the Central belt. (Or maybe you won’t!) Tiki of course is the Polynesian god of fertility.

Billy now works as the co-ordinator for Shopmobility Lochaber. He is a keen gardener and cultivates plants to sell to raise funds the charity. This year he raised nearly £500.

He also coaches BOCCIA (pronounced BOTCHA), which is bowling for the disabled, every Tuesday evening at The Nevis Centre.

Carolyn Clare is a presenter with Nevis Radio, without portfolio. We would all love to hear more about Carolyn and hope that this will prompt her provide us with a profile and a picture soon!

Connor, a son of Fort William and a student at Lochaber High School, currently in the middle of his exams has had a passionate interest in and an extraordinary talent for Radio from a very young age.

Connor has a wide range of interests, including politics, swimming, cycling and of course, music. Whilst he has a good and varied knowledge of modern and pop music he also has great interest in the stage and musicals, having been involved in many of the Showstoppers productions and co-starred in the 2008 Lochaber High School production of "Joseph and his Amazing Technicolour Dream coat".

Connor also enjoys working back stage assisting with the lighting and other aspects of the production of a stage show. He loves meeting people, be it on the outside broadcast team for Nevis Radio, MC'ing at fashion shows, DJ'ing for discos he has even worked on the "Hogworts Special", the steam train to Mallaig. Connor is mainly part of the "Drive Time" team but has covered other daytime shows.

Country music at its finest.

Daniel is a local boy of Invergarry and is currently attending Lochaber college doing an outdoor education course. Through-out this course Daniel has picked up a number qualifications for instance BASI (British association of Snowsports instructors), swift water rescue ( so he will be on had to rescue OGGSTER from the glen Nevis river race) and pains him to say but he has an archery qualification as well.

As of the summer Daniel works as a outdoor instructor at Highland Activities on the Ardverikie Estate were Monarch of the Glen was filmed unfortunately Daniel never got to star in it. In winter he works as a skiing instructor at Nevis range.

Daniel first got into Nevis Radio doing the live snow report from Nevis range as from then he felt Lochaber need more of him so he applied from a job and the opportunity was there for him, and he grabbed it and is not planning on letting go. Daniel’s music interests are ever thing from golden oldies right up to the music that's in the charts now. He admits he is not so much a fan of dance and heavy metal music. You will mostly her Daniel on the Saturday afternoon sports show but he had a tendencies to pop up on other shows either covering for another presenter on helping the presenter out.

We know David best as our Station Manager, a position he has held since 2006. The previous four years he worked as Nevis Radio’s Sales and Marketing Manager. He has spent most of his career in radio, Moray Firth, Aberdeen’s North Sound, and a spell in Boston USA with station WXBN.

He has also dabbled in antiques, nightclubs, parcel deliveries and fish. We are unsure if these activities were carried out simultaneously. He was also been involved with pirate radio on Ross Revenge.

At present Roy Bridge is his place of residence, but Inverness is his original home town. His mother was a nurse, and a semi professional musician, piano and accordion. His cousin, Alan Main, defends the goal for St Johnstone.

If you want to annoy him, try and find a Hank Williams’ rap version of "Your Cheatin' Heart" - David claims to enjoy all music except old country and rap.

Eileen Ross joined the team at Nevis Radio about a year and a half after its launch. She has three children and she is currently studying with the Open University as well as working fulltime with young people.

Eileen's interests are as varied as are her tastes in music. She admits to being a little eccentric at times, but hasn't conducted a poll at Nevis Radio, as she feels that would be a foregone conclusion. She helps out at Nevis Radio as much as she can, with the demands made on her with working fulltime and family commitments, and we are all very grateful for her efforts.

Since 2001 Ewen’s popular Saturday afternoon sports show has been a mainstay of Nevis Radio’s output. He started with Nevis Radio some 7 years before that presenting dance shows on Thursday and Friday evenings. You may also have seen him back in the good old days running the discos at MacT’s.

Born on the Isle of Eigg, and arriving in Fort William via Glasgow, Ewen worked for 20 years on the railway. He spent 8 years as a postie, and now works at Glensanda Quarry near Oban.

Ewen’s mother was an accomplished Gaelic singer and musician, and as a child Ewen well remembers her competing at local mods. Like most mothers she did not approve of his taste in music!

He enjoys all sports and in his younger days would follow Celtic, travelling to both home and away games. But he’s grown up since then!

We have a lovely picture of Gladys but still need Gladys to tell us a bit more about herself.

The Adventures of Harry Lime was produced in 1951 and ran until 1952. Starring Orson Welles, this radio series was a prequel to “the Third Man”, a film based on the novel by Graham Greene.

Heather’s mellifluous tones have been soothing the collective savage breast of Nevis Radio listeners since April 2008. Beneath the calm surface of her soft Northern Irish lilt there swims a wealth of language.

She studied German and Russian at Heriot Watt University during which time she spent nearly a year studying in Russia and Germany. Before arriving in Lochaber she lived in Vienna for three years.

She works for both the Highland Council and for Marine Harvest teaching English as a second language to the immigrant workers who are mainly from Eastern Europe - and if you want any outdoor equipment translated into Russian, you will find her working in Blacks as well.

If she's not there she may be along the street at The Highland Hospice charity shop where she works as a volunteer. In between doing all that, and her Nevis Radio slot, Heather finds time to swim, sing, and play the piano - but alas not all at once!

Iain is a presenter without portfolio and presents with Margaret, Iain's Ceilidh. We would love to hear more about Iain, and hope that this prompts him to provide a picture and profile soon.

In 1932 at five years of age the annual Gamages catalogue arrived in it was a microphone for sale this started Ian off into this strange world of broadcasting. He even invented his own broadcasting station, had note paper printed, wrote and had a reply from the BBC. At school during the war he devised a transmitter and well remembers broadcasting Benny Goodman playing "Househop" they did not have a mike.

Prior to call up he spent a year in the theatre thence into the RAF where he got a job at the camp cinema where he was thrilled to play his 78's. After demob 15 years in the hotel industry learning all the departments leading to assistant manger where he was offered a post in Malta to set up a new tourist venture this was in 1958. It was while he was over there that he joined FBS (Forces Broadcasting Service) a learning curve in every way. Ian spent a further 16 years with Rowntree Mackintosh until taken over by Nestle.

He came to Fort William, in 1976 here ran a guest house and in 1987 joined the local Hospital Radio for eleven years. By chance Ian read a letter from a Mr. Rose (sadly deceased) all about Angel Radio. Ian wrote and sent his first programmes to them in 2000. Voluntary work has been for him, a total joy and he says that " it is here you meet wonderful folk who just want to give and not take." He has also noted that this is a happy and wonderful team and feels privileged to be part of under the founder and entrepreneur Tony Smith who sets an example to us all.

Jean is a presenter without portfolio. We would love to hear more about Jean, and hope that this prompts them to provide a picture and profile soon.

Jenny is a presenter without portfolio. We would love to hear more about Jenny, and hope that this prompts her to provide a picture and profile soon.

Involved in Nevis Radio since its birth, Jo has taken on a plethora of tasks - from chairing a steering group to cleaning the toilets - but has been a wee bit shy at getting behind the microphone! Early on, she co-presented a classical programme and has covered for various presenters over the years. Now she's sharing her passion for Americana music in her show every second Wednesday and Thursday.

Born in Inverness, and brought up on a hill-farm near Kingussie, Jo's a down-to-earth Highlander, proud of her homeland, its people and culture. But her musical tastes are all over the place: traditional, folk, classical, world, indie..and, of course, Americana.

Living in Lochaber for 23 years, currently working as a community worker for a national older people’s charity, outside work and radio, Jo can be found curling with Lochaber Curling Club, having a laugh at "Ceilear!" Gaelic singing sessions, line-dancing, volunteering, jogging unconvincingly, drinking good red wine and blethering.

John has been with Nevis Radio for about 6 years. When not presenting, he works as Head of Commercial Production and Music. You hear an advert on Nevis Radio – John has put it together.

He hails originally from Dunfermline where he spent many years presenting Hospital Radio. He also commentated on local football matches and still follows the fortunes of Dunfermline Athletic. He is President and sole member of the Lochaber branch of the Dunfermline Athletic Followers Trust (DAFT).

Dunfermline may be his home town, but his spiritual home has long been the Highlands. He is never happier than when camping by an isolated loch in the company of a worm or two, a rod, a reel, and a bottle of Scotland’s finest. With the exceptions of opera and traditional jazz, his musical tastes are all encompassing.

He has been threatening to learn the guitar for some time, and it is with mounting excitement and a great deal of patience that we await the fruits of this ambition.

Editor's Note: John has just won the 2009 Thomas Prag Award, presented annually at the Highlands and Islands Community Broadcasting Federation Conference in Inverness. The Award, which began in 2004, is designed to create a competition amongst Scottish community broadcasters.

John Friel is originally from Glasgow, now living in Roybridge now for nearly 2 years and working in Fort William as a bus driver for the same length of time. John has always had a keen interest in radio presenting but living in Glasgow such opportunities never came up, so he appreciates the chance to do so here. His taste in music varies from the 80’s right through to the present but has has to admit 80’s and 90’s are the best.

John’s interests include football, which he still plays every Sunday at the Nevis centre and in May, will be playing in the welfare football league. John is also a keen ten pin bowler which he is not at all bad at. John’s ambition is to be as good a radio presenter as his colleague, John Carstairs.

John Weller, aka "Big John" was hatched in East Grinstead, a product of the sixties, he moved to Fort William in 2005 with his lovely wife Pam and 2 of their 3 children, one remained in Englandshire! John is self-employed and undertakes building repairs and maintenance, which he has done for 26 years.

He has always been interested in music, and built his own disco out of rubbish collected from jumble sales when he was 11 years old. Work, marriage, children and other interests, consumed his time for about 20 years and the DJ in him, took a back seat, although he still collected music and did the odd fundraiser for local youth groups. His musical taste cover a very wide genre from heavy rock to new country. Buying an old disco set up from a friend sparked his love of DJ'ing again, upgrading kit over the years and gaining a reputation as a party DJ.

He is not afraid to admit that HE LOVES CHEESE, steak and the odd dram of locally distilled water! Some of his other interest are 10 pin bowling, playing golf (badly) and photography. Both he and his wife are on the committee of Lochaber Agricultural Society and assist in the planning of the annual show and stock judging competition.

He says "there is no bad music... there is just music he would prefer not to listen to."

Lachie has lived in Lochaber for over 40 years, spending most of his working life at The Pulp Mill. He stays in Caol, and currently works with Marine Harvest.

He joined Nevis Radio in the early 90’s. His mother is Norwegian, his Father Glaswegian, which makes him just Wegian. "Music is wide ranging and the different styles and genres are there to be enjoyed and appreciated by anyone and everyone. It is also matter of personal taste, but your own preferences should not exclude other areas. Could Beethoven not have appreciated the finer points of Kylie Minogue?"

Lachie enjoys the outdoor life, especially skiing, both downhill and cross-country. He is a keen and talented artist. He did 3 years with the Open College of the Arts, he paints, he designs posters, and he also did the mural in our reception area. All that and Chairman of Crag as well.

Len looks forward to presenting Crossfire, every Sunday night because it gives him a chance to enjoy all the things he likes doing, so he does hope you will join in as well!

He enjoys meeting people, and you never quite know who might appear with him on his show. Len listens to a wide variety of good music and travelling to explore all kinds of places. He often visits historic churches, abbeys and palaces in both the UK, and abroad. He is also interested in computers and computing, and Ian Andsell from Scottish Christian, joins him on his show monthly, keeping both Len and our listeners up-to-date.

Len lives and works in Inverness, has been a priest in the Scottish Episcopal Church since 1973, he has only just recently discovered most of his interests, too numerous to mention here, and that they keep changing.

Margaret and is without portfolio. We would all love to hear more about Margaret and hope that this will prompt her provide us with a profile and a picture soon!

Mark MacRae Is on his Third year here at Nevis Radio where each week he plays two hours of cutting edge Dance music and Classics for good measure. He is also a Club DJ in the north of Scotland for over the past four years which is heavily influenced in his show.

Martin has been a big supporter of Nevis radio for a number of years now. Martin's Radio life started at the young age of 15 where he could be found in the kitchen making the coffee for the on air team; although this is still the case, we now we welcome him on air too.

Listen in this Saturday to hear his general chat and music show.

Mike has been presenting Mike’s Sorta 60’s since January 2003. His interest is 60’s pop and how the influences of early rock’n’roll, jazz, blues and country merged to create the 60’s musical explosion, which from which current pop music evolved.

Mike originates from Bristol (which also produced Russ no relation Conway and Acker Bilk) and has lived in Lochaber for 25 years running Glen Nevis Restaurant. He is a keen photographer and has been known to write occasional short stories, which have yet to be published. He will proudly show you his rejection letters if you ask. He enjoys food, cooking it and eating it, and you will often see him and his dog walking the pathways of Cow Hill and beyond.

He claims to play the harmonica but there is no evidence of this as his wife has confiscated it. I wonder why? So if you need to know what became of Maureen Evans or Mary Hopkin, if you want to hear some American 60’s DJ’s, or you just want to wallow in nostalgia Mike’s Sorta 60’s, 8 til 10, Saturday mornings.

After six years with the local tourist board he formed his own company, Across Ecosse, which specialises in bespoke marketing in tourism. His clients include the Jacobite Steam Train, Visit Glenfinnan Marketing group and the Highlands and Islands Community Broadcasting Federation.

Neil describes his musical tastes as eclectic. He plays the bagpipes and has dabbled with a melodeon. Is that not something of which we have all dreamed?

His father was a well known minister in The Church of Scotland, who very occasionally played the piano. One of his abiding memories of the parental home was the radio was always on.

Neil's other interests include sailing, walking, photography, wine, and of course music.

A metal fan for ever, Nigel has been both a club DJ and radio interviewer since the seventies. In fact his first radio interview was with the prog-rock band Renaissance in about 1973! In the same year he supported Roxy Music - just them and Nigel's disco!

Now Nigel presents 'Metal Over Midnight' on Nevis Radio every Friday - an eclectic mix of all types of metal music and occasional interviews with bands on tour in the UK. So if you like your music on the heavy side, listen in...

His musical tastes are desperate, but his skill on the spoons is unrivalled. He has mastered many instruments, most of them surgical, but he is best known for playing the fool. Over the years he has made many good friends on A Bit of a Burrach- Tolouse leTrek, Betty Wont, Justin Case, Duggie Walker, and the gardener Roddy Dendron.

His hobbies include broadcasting, and timekeeping, although whether he excels at either is a subject of fierce and constant debate.

The Highland tour has become a pilgrimage with American Musicians in particular, wishing to trace the roots of "The Great American Song Book" back to its home in the Highlands, Rob says "I am fascinated by the song lines and tracing the roots of music, but equally fascinated with the contemporary shoots that keep it all alive and well".

Robert has been presenting Nevis Country for about 16 years. He says "I was country when country wasn't cool"

It has always been his favourite musical genre, even as a teenager, but not to the exclusion of all else. Robert also appreciates folk, pop, Scottish and Irish music. Back in the 70's he played in a Mallaig band and has toured with the legendary Fergie MacDonald.

He is a also a successful song writer and several UK country artists have recorded his songs. He was also a keen footballer in his day, playing and managing Mallaig Stars F.C. when they successfully competed in the Lochaber Welfare League. He has been a life long supporter of Rangers F.C.

When we asked Sean if he had met anyone famous, he claims that living in Fort William, there was not really any opportunity to meet anyone famous. Sean wouldn’t have been out on a school day during the filming of Braveheart, Rob Roy and way before that Local Hero, when celebs regularly trawled the High Street!

If he were to have a dinner party he would invite the top 10 Dance DJ’s in the world. His favourite music is reflected in his show, mainly EDM. He couldn’t choose between Ice-cream and gateau, so has both, and loves both sweet and sour curries. He is tech-savvy and uses an i-phone for both communication and mp3s. His favourite website is Protrackz, which he has been building and maintaining for so many years, and of course our very own Nevis Radio site, is bookmarked in his browser too.

Stuart Skipworth aka Skip, or more affectionately known to us as Skippy, has gained a great deal of experience in the field of DJing from 1970 until the present day, from local youth clubs to large Corporate events.

His passion for playing music started quite by accident when attending his local youth club, A DJ failed to appear so Skip took his place for the evening and was bitten by the DJ bug.

Skip soon gained a good reputation and was approached by entertainment agencies, who gave him regular bookings this allowed Skip to fine tune his DJing skills. Although Skip's musical tastes are wide and varied his first love lays with Soul, RnB and Motown from the 60's and 70's, not excluding anything soulful up to the present day music.

Skip has also presented on hospital radio also presented on lite FM during its inauguration period before joining Nevis Radio. DJing has allowed Skip the honour of supporting such soul icons as Edwin Starr, Major Lance, J.J.Barnes, Jimmy James and the Velvelettes, to name a few.

Stephen was with Nevis Radio for a few years in the late 90’s, and is now back with us bringing with him the very latest original dance music.

Always original. He does not like cover versions – especially bad ones. He was brought up in Glasgow and he claims the only musical influence from his family was has dad singing at the football. Stephen watches Celtic whenever he can. He has a season ticket at Parkhead.
