On 31 May 2007 I finally had enough.
The BBC has lost the plot and I have said goodbye.
If you would like to know more then email, or simply ask me at a gig!
I no longer wanted to be subjected to ageism and bullying and acted upon some excellent advice from an "old school" BBC Manager many years ago.
"Dignity - always dignity"
So I just walked out without a fuss - and I could have made one, believe me!!

Nonny James joined the BBC in 1988. She broadcasted regularly on BBC Radio Shropshire and BBC Hereford and Worcester. Nonny has also presented programmes for Radio 2, and has contributed to programmes on Radio 4 and 5 Live.

Nonny was the producer/presenter of the cult status Fretwork on the BBC in the Midlands (Thursday nights 7pm to 9pm). Fretwork was the most listened to specialist music programme in the region at that time of the evening. It was first broadcast on 15 February 1989.

Nonny took over The Sunday Late Show on 2 April 2000....

there followed 4 years of alternative radio - too alternative perhaps - we all know what happened! (by the way I thank you for an unprecedented amount of emails/texts/letters)

It was broadcast on the BBC in the Midlands every Sunday between 10pm and 1am.

There was Nonny, and Wardrobe the Horse, Bertie the Baboon, Sid the Dog, Marjorie the Chicken, Alright the Duck, and the legendary sheep, and YOU - for three hours of radio that didn't always make sense. The faint-hearted (and management)found it a bit confusing!
