Sorry, there is nothing for the moment.
Hi, I am Claire.
My first experience in radio came around 5 years ago prior to which time I had not ever considered getting involved in it but due to an unexpected series of turn of events, a show that I was enthusiastically listening to every week, I found myself presenting. This also came at around the time I was coming out to the world as transgender so radio presenting has always been a very positive focus for me during a time of great change in my life.
I also enjoy being as active as possible, to make up for spending the daytimes in a desk-based job. I enjoy getting out running, walking and cycling – and any holidays or weekends away are usually planned to fit in with orienteering or running events. My proudest achievement is to have completed two London Marathons – in 2017 and 2019 – having needed the 2 years in between to recover from the first one.
Finally, I like following the fortunes of my local football team – Lincoln City FC.

I'm Lucy a presenter on TRUK and also the founder! My first foray into radio was when I set up a Non League radio station in 2005 as it was frustrating not being able to get the results of lower league football. This was a success from day one
I have always loved music for as long as I can remember, my dad was a DJ in the 60's, driving to gigs on his Triumph motorbike with a speaker strapped to his back, he also plays the accordion and piano, I played the flute, piano, recorder (of course!)
I was born and raised in Manchester, where I gained my love of The Blues by regularly attending the legendary “Band On The Wall”. I gained her love of classic soul thanks to her sister letting her have her old Stax and Motown records.
