About me: ***Vote for Nemone in the Best Radio DJ category in the GLAMOUR AWARDS here***
___________________________________________________________
Half Greek but other influences emerged when Nemone recently traced the family tree back to prove she could get a Greek passport for her Athens Olympic bid. She found the mix to be Greek, Cypriot, Swiss, Italian, English and Scottish.
Born in the Northwest, or to be more precise West Cheshire Hospital, Chester's finest at the time.
After a spell "down south" in Cambridge where they took the Mick out of her accent she gravitated back to Manchester University.
Note: sounds more Barbara Woodhouse than Bet Lynch.
Radio experience:
Began modestly on reception and while still manning the phones daily at Kiss 102 in Manchester (now Galaxy) her telephone manner and an innocent request for tippex from the right source, secured part-time work on the nightly entertainments show.
From that to late night problem-phone-in show to own Saturday breakfast slot in Leeds at Kiss 105 (now Galaxy...you get the picture).
___________________________________________________________
Note: much of salary spent trekking on the M62 - she loved those hills - driving her little car into the ground making the trip between Leeds and Manchester A LOT!
Nemone eventually returns to 'her' side of the Pennines to Galaxy 102 for the Morning Show and back to her beloved Sale Harriers to train for the 400m - yippee!
Big smoke beckoned in the shape of Radio 1 offering her a weekend show, soon moving to do maternity leave cover on their morning show.
A quest for the Greek 4x400m relay team at the Olympics in 2004 proved too tough a call after 4 years of DJing which severely restricted training...result being Greek enough but not quick enough (ref BBC3 documentary 'My Big Fat Greek Olympic Dream').
6 Music saved her from middle-of-the-night show 'Early Breakfast' ('Drive' in Australia and, yes, 'Breakfast' in New York ) and has broadened scope by occasionally anchoring 5Live weekend shows.
Completed first Triathlon in London (swimming in Royal Victoria Docks!!) August 2006.
Sport? Is silly about it.
Glutton for punishment? Indeed.
Takes life too seriously? Definitely...not. ___________________________________________________________
More notes: Loves music. Hates ships' anchors. Can be bribed with chocolate usually Green and Blacks vanilla variety.

We have spent the last year rehearsing with a full band and are now ready to bring it on the road. You can get a look at us when we appear on Balcony TV this week with the full line up.

Hey! Thanks again for being our friend. Make sure you have a little listen to our album Songs For Abandoned Buildings. If you like it, please follow the link on the player to buy it from itunes so we can play a town near you! Don't forget to give us a review on itunes:)
Take 4 of the best up-and-coming live bands – each a capable headliner in their own right (NO ropey filler acts or cover bands!) and intersperse with genre traversing, decade hopping recorded music ranging from Cutting Edge to Indie Classic Anthem to Guilty Pleasure from 9pm until late for only £4 and you have a SICK night out!
"STRAWHOUSES is all about that feeling that we're living blissfully unaware that we're on unsteady ground.
Their musical influences are diverse; from the melody kings of Radiohead, REM and U2, to the tribal beats of Killing Joke, to the darkest moments of Joy Division and The Smiths. "
"FAKE UNION is a project that strives to make thoughtful music. Making songs that are edgy and uncomfortable is what they are good at. So they keep doing it, with smiles on their faces and fists in the air!"
