Jo Davies

Join Jo Davies on BBC Radio Nottingham. Jo started off volunteering at Kings Mill Hospital Radio.

She thinks there is still a scary picture of her up on the wall in their studios in what she thought was a trendy denim shirt. 

It was at Kings Mill that she fell in love with chatting to people, finding out about them and being part of a team that could tell them what was happening in the world. She loved being able to choose the music too.

Her life at Radio Nottingham began with volunteering for Alan Clifford, helping set up guests for his programme. 

That is where her love of live theatre really took off. One of her first on air experiences was reviewing local theatre productions on Alan's show. 

She is the celebrity booker for the station, from Torvill and Dean to Liza Minelli, and admits she adores meeting rich and famous people. 

She also loves musical theatre. Les Miserables is her favourite production.

Great late night conversation.

Amanda fell into radio in 1986 when she answered an advert for someone who could publicise community groups and ended up on the Careline.

Since then, she has worked for nearly all of the commercial stations in the East Midlands and also for a national station where she did the Breakfast show for three years. Not a natural early riser, she found the 0400 wake ups a real challenge.

She has been lucky enough to meet some great and unusual people and her oddest radio moments include waiting for Sir Roger Moore to come out of a gingerbread house, having her shirt photographed by Rod Stewart and singing King of the Swingers to a very startled Kim Wilde. 

Alongside radio, Amanda has also worked in a homeless hostel, as a CAB manager, a nanny, a helpline operator, a volunteer coordinator and for a magazine about canals and riverboats - amongst others. 

She is married to the long suffering Steve and has two grown up children, Joseph and Susannah. 

Her home is a bit of a minature zoo. One of her proudest achievements is that she has taught her cockatiels to whistle the theme tune to The Flumps.

You can listen to Amanda Bowman, Sunday - Thursday evenings from 10pm until 1am.
