Born in the UK 57 years ago, he spent many years in East and Southern Africa, His parents were separated by the war, and thereafter he was adopted by a wonderful couple, who made one of the first flights in a single engine aircraft from South Africa to London to collect him.

Previously he was a newsman on BBC Radios 1 and 2, along with the likes of Emperor Roscoe. RECENT EXPERIENCE Julian set up new radio stations in Kampala and Dar Es Salaam. He lectured and presented seminars on Radio Presentation in a number of African countries, and also at the former National Broadcasting School in London. More recently, he has been invited to talk to several schools and organise media-based classes in Sussex. In the last year, Julian has been extremely busy, still working with the BBC, but also acting as Programme CO-ordinator for a quarterly media tour around the main American cities. This is a wine promotion tour involving twice daily State television and radio appearances. He has spoken at several large functions, including at a World International Hockey Festival in Australia. Julian is now regularly asked to provide after dinner speeches, particularly for organisations like the local Rotary Club. TOPICS He has a collection of “strange and wonderful” stories that have appeared in World Service news bulletins and a large number of humorous moments from sport. Julian's themes generally focus on amusing errors at the BBC — things that famous people (for example, Sue Lawley, Ann Robinson and Bobby Robson) have said. |
