Vanquish girl band are the supporting act for Westlife on their final tour. Before they went on stage in Belfast,  the girls popped in for chat (and a sing and a laugh). After much arguing, they finally settled on Mark being the best looking member of Westlife, so now you know.

The PANI quiz

Last night I had the pleasure of hosting the annual PANI table quiz on the top floor of the Europa hotel in Belfast. PANI is the Publicity Association Northern Ireland so the quiz attracted the great and the good from across the advertising industry in the Province. Well done to the teams that took part, congratulations to the winners (U105) and sincere thanks to Tony Axon the Chairman of PANI for having me as host

Is there more of me now than this time last year ?

Usually a question like this is followed by a long sigh, a crash diet and a month of self denial and misery. Not this time (I hope !). From this month there IS more because I now have the pleasure of doing a 'National Drivetime Show' broadcast all over Northern Ireland on the Q Radio Network from 2pm to 6m on Weekdays!
