Name: Abbie Chesher |
Nickname (past or present): Abs |
What day and time do you present/volunteer on HRC? Thursday Night Requests |
Do you present your own show? No |
If yes, what is the name and content of your show? n/a |
When did you join Hospital Radio? I joined Hospital Radio in June 2008 |
What made you choose to volunteer for HRC? I have always loved music and radio and it felt really good to be able to give something back. |
What do you enjoy most about HRC? I love being able to give back to the patients and the hospital generally. But I think my favourite bit has to be when someone wins one of our competition prizes! |
Favourite music genre? I always describe myself as someone who was born in the wrong generation, because as well as liking my chart music I think my favourite genre has to be 60s and 70s! |
First album ever bought (LP or CD)? Spice Girls – Spiceworld! |
Favourite artist/band/singer? It changes daily! But right now I think the Rolling Stones top my list! |
What is your most influential music memory?When I was little my Dad showed me the Queen set from Live Aid and I remember being blown away by how powerful Freddie Mercury’s voice was! |
Favourite single, 7”,12” or MP3 (for the younger generation)? This is hard! But I would have to say that if there was one song I had to listen to for the rest of my life it would be Breakfast at Tiffany’s – Deep Blue Something. |
Biggest artist to inspire you musically and why? It has to be David Bowie – the clothes, the art, the different personas! Not to forget the mental lyrics! |
Best live concert or performance you’ve seen? Again hard as I’ve been lucky enough to see hundreds of live bands in my life so far but I think seeing the Rolling Stones at Hyde Park this summer was definitely something special. |
Away from music, what do you enjoy most? I really like amateur photography, going out with my friends and family, and the odd cocktail or two! |
What is your current occupation or study status? I’ve just graduated from Staffordshire University with a degree in Broadcast Journalism. |
If you were hosting a dinner party, which 5 famous people would you invite (dead or alive)? Freddie Mercury, David Bowie, Mick Jagger, Andy Murray and JK Rowling! |
If you could go back in time, what era would you travel to and why? The 60s or the 70s for sure – I’d love to see David Bowie during his Ziggy Stardust phase! |
What would be your ideal Holiday Destination? I’m really desperate to go to rural Japan and China! |
What would be your perfect Sunday? Films, sofa, blanket, chocolate and a glass of wine! Swiftly followed by a roast with all the trimmings! |
