Trevor Dann The Radio Man
On Tuesday night I gathered with my colleagues from the Radio Academy (Scotland Branch) to welcome . He's the Academy's new boss and had come north to encourage us to continue the good fight to promote radio and encourage new members to join the academy.
Truth be told, we had been on the verge of dis-banding the Scottish branch because many of us felt that we were geting little support from H.Q. in London and that we might as well form our own breakaway organisation. (Please do not ready any political message into that last sentence!).
But Trevor - a radio man through and through - brought us back from the brink. He painted a grim picture of the problems that had beset the Academy in recent years and convinced us that the neglect we'd experienced was not peculiar to Scotland. By the end of his speil he was getting a round of applause and offers of continued support from radio stations around the country.
What a persuader!
