I have met some fantastic and inspirational people over the six years Regatta Radio has been on air".
DANNY COX

many firsts in the U.K. He’s responsible for the most successful radio launch in the country, launched the U.K's first city-based terrestrial TV service and was the first person to have his website mentioned in the Sunday Times leader column.
As well as running his own production business making commercials and jingles for radio stations across the country, Danny is an experienced radio entertainer having worked at some of the biggest BBC and commercial radio stations. He’ll be working as Regatta Radio’s Production Manager, so he’ll spend most of his days in a darkened studio making sure if Sir Steve Redgrave says it – you won’t miss it.
CINDY BURROWES

also to be preparing and presenting a series of features in the run-up.

As a journalist working for Higgs Group's Henley Life magazine, she has come across some fascinating people, many of whom will be coming into the studio for interviews and discussions. Cindy sats Regatta Radio gives her a chance to work in her favourite medium alongside gifted and entertaining colleagues in the heart of her community as well as being part of the world's most famous rowing event.
MICHELLE LIVINGS

Michelle has a strong affiliation with the town. This has continued with her work as a presenter on Regatta Radio. She is a freelance TV presenter and voiceover artist but maintains that radio is her favourite broadcasting medium. She says " It's more personal and allows me to indulge in my big passion music. I just love it." Michelle has been to the Royal Regatta many times, donning a long-length dress and quaffing Pimms and iced coffee in the Leander Club whilst watching the action. She says it is now a real pleasure to be participating in a more productive way and presentingon Regatta Radio, although she’ll still be popping into Leander for a cheeky one!
