About me: I'm Barry, I'm 28 years old and I used to live in the lovely North East town of Gateshead (Gatesheed in the local dialect) before I moved up to Northumberland.
I am married to Amy (http://www.myspace.com/i_believe_in_mary_worth)
I am currently working as an administration assistant for a local doctors.
Outside of work, I am a volunteer and presenter for Newcastle's first ever full time community radio station NE1 FM (www.ne1fm.com). I present AlterNation with Barry Wilson, Monday's at 7pm, the ultimate selection of unsigned bands, lesser known talent and the best alternative music from the last few decades.
I love discovering unsigned and not that well known bands. Not because I want to be "more alternative than thou", but more because I believe that there is a heck of a lot of untapped musical talent out there.
We've had confirmed listeners all over the world, on one occasion AlterNation was played out in a tattoo shop in Virginia USA!
Anyway, welcome to my profile, enjoy your stay, but please, wipe your feet!
Who I'd like to meet: I would have said Rik Mayall, but I have met him, and he's a top bloke. Would have loved to have met John Peel as well. Guess I'll have to make do with the e-mails I got from him and the signed photo :-(
