Kathy Barham

Kathy has been obsessed with music since she was a toddler and persuaded her parents that the emerging Liverpool band they weren’t too keen on was actually fab and was consequently given their records “Beatles for Sale” and “Help”.  Now, over half a century later, she boats a huge record collection that includes vinyl, cassettes, CDs and mp3s which threaten to take over the family home and computer hard drive.

Never one to ignore new songs, Kathy continues to seek out the latest releases and new musical talent, enjoys going to gigs, and has hosted live musical events in her home town.  She has also written and published a book about the local radio station that first fuelled her radio obsession and ventured into radio herself for the very first time in 2011 on her local radio station, presenting a showcase for new music called “The Music Truffler” which now, 10 years later, is aired on many stations around the world.
