presents her own county show on a Wednesday, and a 2 hour Saturday night show,
but she also acts as the long-suffering "telephonist" (pronounced telly - phone
- ist) on the All Round Country show on a Sunday night. Basically, she says.
she's the only one who can keep Davy Mac and Davy Groat in order (although if
you look at their profiles, they each say that they are the one that looks after
the other two!)
Barbara was born in Braemore in Caithness, and has lived in the county all of
her life. She has one daughter, (Helen who is a former receptionist) and two
grandchildren (Kevin - former presenter and Amy - another former receptionist).
During her workig life Barbara used to be found on the buses as a "clippie", and
in later years on reception at the local swimming pool. However she is now
enjoying her retirement.
She says she has always enjoyed music, and that is the reason she joined
CAITHNESS FM way back in 1998. She modern country music but also enjoys middle
of the road music from the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's, enjoys meeting people and
eating out as well as watching T.V and going on holiday. However she doesn't
like heavy rock or classical music, bossy people and the Caithness weather!
