Black Diamond FM Listen Live
A chance meeting with the late John Ritchie, then Chairman of Black Diamond FM, at an event resulted in Bob’s involvement with community radio. At first, he did the Mid-Morning show on Fridays as GDB, Grandad Bob, but a couple of years ago had to amend things to GGDB following the arrival of his first great-granddaughter. At one point he agreed to temporarily cover the early Breakfast show for ‘a few weeks’ until something else was arranged. Needless to say, not weeks, or months, but years later, he still rises early on a Thursday morning. He enjoys a wide range of music but has a distinct lean towards country.
Bob has served on the management board for some time and is the former Chairman of Midlothian Community Media Association.
Outwith his radio commitments Bob enjoys holidays, is an active backstage member of his local drama club, helps out with the horticultural society and does bits and pieces in the garden as well as photography.
