| It's said the phantom found her
in a basket floating under the Opera but in truth it's hard
to say where the mysterious, most cosmopolitan of ladies first
saw the moonlight; and no, she wasn't born with a silver microphone
in her dainty hand or madly ringing the bells of Notre Dame
or even dubbing the laugh scene in Topkapi ....and as for
theatre at eight, she has been known to come late but that's
why the lady is, after all, at the very least a ...vamp. Has
she asked everyone in Paris one question?
Doubtful but then again if she ever slowed her bike down
long enough they might have asked her. Does she hate California?
No, but did she turn down a lucrative starting football
position for the ladies' team in Rome? ....more likely.
Still she probably told them she was just too busy. "Sorry
dearies, I have to be at the movies for a Peter O'Toole
retrospective, or al teatro for a Magnani performance or
to cook up a midnight spaghetti aglio-olio for a lucky beau.”
Paris, cold and damp? Not when this lady's in town.
That's why this lady is ...well, in overdrive. |

looked back. His musical influences are wide and varied: from
African-Brazilian flavas to American hip-hop and he loves

| Robbie Nock |
|
|
Robbie was a hyperactive child from
the Welsh border town of Chepstow in South Wales until he
discovered fly fishing and scrumping from the local orchards
in the late 70’s. His passion for football saw him sign
for the Bristol City FC youth team for 4 years and his passion
for nature took him to Montana at the age of 17 where he monitored
grizzly bears and bald eagles and learnt the art of travelling.
On his return to the green grass of Wales he decided that
itchy feet would most definitely play an important role in
his destiny and a year later in 1991 he followed his brother
out to the French alps for his first Winter season.
After becoming a dab hand at being a ski-bum following a five
season stint, a chance encounter in 94 with the boss of a
French radio station saw him become the radio voice of Val
D’Isere, for four years he presented a daily hour long
show in English for Europe 2 Val D’Isere.
In 1998 he left the mountains in search of the city, stumbling
across the Gastronomic capital of France, Lyon where he became
hooked on oysters and bubbly. He was given a sports journalist
position for the pan European television channel Euronews
and five years later and a strong desire to explore the French
capital and it’s bohemian backdrop, Robbie is presenting
the Afternoon Overdrive for Paris Live Radio every weekday
from 5 till 8pm with co-host Natasha Black. |
