Radio Interviews
I’m hoping this is the first of many – I love chatting on the radio, especially when the show host has challenging and interesting questions. I had the pleasure of spending time with Mark Patterson and his team at BBC Radio Foyle in Derry, Northern Ireland on Weds 20th August to talk about the ‘home’ launch of …but I love you and why I was supporting Foyle Pride.
