Dean Francis Dean Francis - Dean is a professional boxer and is the former British Super Middleweight Champion and currently holds the title for British Light Heavyweight.

Dean started his career in boxing as a Super-Middleweight back in 1994. He went on to win both England and British Boxing honours until a recurrent shoulder injury forced him into retirement.

However, after seeking a further opinion and surgery, Dean's boxing dream was sparked into life again. The comeback trail opened up in 2005 and led Dean to an English title win in front of a proud Bristolian crowd. One year on he was Commonwealth champion and a British title soon followed. Dean's next big fight takes place at London's Earl's Court on Tuesday 19th May. Dean will be one of eight fighters all battleing out to win the Prizefighter 7 - The Cruiserweights tournament. www.room3agency.com

 

Kate Pitman Kate Pitman - Born in Northern Ireland 23rd November 1976, was educated there until the age of 12, then boarded at Fettes College Edinburgh until 18. I came to study at Bristol University in 1995 and loved Bristol so much I've been here ever since!

Past jobs have included work for Star FM,  Aardman Animation and also TEFL (Teaching English as a foreign language).  Met Jed in 2001 and married in Las Vegas 2005. We started working for Original 106.5 doing a Sunday night show and progressed to Breakfast 5 weeks later.  The Breakfast Show is jam-packed with interviews, chat, music and a wealth of information about what's going on in our fabulous city. Often I don't know what Jed's going to say next- a great reason to listen if you like slightly risqué and perhaps controversial radio listening!  I also write for local food magazine ‘Flavour’.
