Andy Whittaker

Join Andy Whittaker on BBC Radio Nottingham.

Join Andy Whittaker on BBC Radio Nottingham. Andy has worked in a catalogue shop and a pork pie factory in the past but his big love has always been radio.

In fact, his interest stems from one of his jobs as a prefect at secondary school, when he used to operate the microphones for school assembly.

At 17 Andy did his first live radio show for the BBC and he's been doing them ever since. 

Andy is passionate about Nottinghamshire and, over the years, he's devised a number of initiative's on BBC Radio Nottingham to bring people together to enjoy what Robin Hood County has to offer. 

The Big Night Out asked you to put aside the perceived negative image of the city centre and come out to enjoy a fun night for all ages. It is an idea that has been so successful; it has now spread to other cities in the UK. 

Andy also brought you the Big Day Out when historic tourist attractions across Nottinghamshire threw open their doors for free, the Energy Experiment which saved masses of energy when people switched off things they were not even using and Andy campaigned to get bells ringing across the county simultaneously to mark St George's Day.

Away from his show you'll find Andy spending time with his kids, in his garden or on holiday. 

In 2009 Andy was named Presenter of the Year at the Gillards - which honours achievement in BBC Local Radio.

Paul Robey

Join Paul Robey on BBC Radio Nottingham. Born in Clifton, Paul attended Greencroft Junior School and Fairham Comprehensive School.

When realising that he wanted to become a radio presenter, his careers' teacher suggested he apply for jobs in insurance or banking. 

He followed this "sensible" advice, ending up at the Prudential on Maid Marian Way for eight years. 

He also had a Saturday job and one of Paul's claims to fame is being the first lad ever to work on the checkouts in the Victoria Centre branch of Tesco. 

At the same time, he was actively pursuing opportunities in radio and developing his craft on a voluntary basis at Nottingham Hospitals' Radio, based in the newly opened Queen's Medical Centre. 

He eventually got his professional break at Radio Trent in 1982 working alongside Dale Winton, but had always harboured a secret desire to work at Nottingham's truly local station. 

Not many people know that Paul shares a guilty pleasure with Anne Davies from East Midlands Today... the first single they ever bought was "Puppy Love" by Donny Osmond.

Alan Clifford

Join Alan Clifford on BBC Radio Nottingham.

Join Alan Clifford on BBC Radio Nottingham. Once upon a time he did farmyard impressions for a living.

Alan used to work on radio's longest running soap opera The Archers.

He quit Ambridge for Nottingham back in 1989 and since then has worked as a sports reporter, researcher, producer and presenter, fortunately usually not all at the same time.

A vegan who never touches animal products, Alan says he would most like to meet fellow vegan and poet Benjamin Zephania to get the recipe for Nut Couplets.

Alan presented the drivetime show on BBC Radio Nottingham from 1997.
