Name: Ruthie

Show: Lunchtime Siesta

When are you on?
I’m on on Thursdays fortnightly from 12 noon to 2pm.

What type of music can we expect to hear on your show?
Really all sorts…from Daft Punk to Dusty Springfield and lots in between.

How did you get into this type of music?
Just had influences from family and friends through my whole life really

How long have you been DJing?
About three months?

How did you start DJing?
I was on the Deep Sea Ball with Pete Bishop during the Vibraphonic festival in 2007 and ever since then I’ve thought I’d like to have my own show, so when Phonic FM got the five year licence I eventually decided to go for it.

Can we find you DJing anywhere other than on Phonic FM?
Nope I’m exclusive to Phonic!

What has been your most embarrassing DJing moment?
Every time I speak! Ejecting a CD halfway through playing a track…nothing major, YET!

What has been your best DJing moment?
It maybe too early to tell…I got my first email from someone I don’t know saying they were listening and enjoying the show…that’s probably the best bit so far.

Who is your favourite artist?
I couldn’t really tell you…so many spring to mind…Supergrass, Ozomatli, Balkan BeatBox , they’d probably be in the top 10 because I never fail to enjoy their music no matter what mood I’m in.

What is your all time favourite album?
It’s impossible to say!

Where do you shop for music?
I mostly buy stuff on line, it’s my fault Solo’s closed down. I feel bad now!
