Cheshire's 106.9 Silk FM started broadcasting from Macclesfield in 1998 and its first Programmer was my old mate Guy Morris from my Radio Trent days.

When he left to move South, I was asked by the MD Paul Allen to take over. I ran the programming and presented mid-mornings until the daily commute over the Peak district mountains got too much!

It was a nice little station with a great team...
