 |  | James Clark, or Clarky as he prefers to be known, presents The Northern Uproar every Thursday on BBC Radio Newcastle between 19:00 and 22:00. It's the best place to go for new, local and live music from the North East and beyond.
You can also catch him on Saturday's Clarky and Wilko between 12:00 and 14:00. | | James Clark | | Listen again to The Northern Uproar |
| Place of birth: Newcastle. | | Favourite place or view in the North East: The press box at St. James' Park. I've only been there a couple of times, but looking out over a packed stadium just as the Magpies kick off is pure magic! | | First record you bought: The Boomtown Rats' "I Don't Like Mondays". | | Previous jobs: Tennis Coach, Bar Manager, Librarian, Call Centre worker...and a few more besides! | | Best thing about working in radio: Being on air and getting to play some of my favourite music. | | Best thing about your show: That's an easy one...the music, of course! | | Person you would most enjoy being stuck in a lift with: Uma Thurman in her Kill Bill jump suite... | | Favourite party game: I used to love Kingo (??), but football was my main love...even though I was rubbish at it. | | Where you are when you get most of your inspiration or creative thoughts: They usually come at the most inopportune moments...just when I'm falling asleep...in the middle of a film...while having a serious conversation with someone etc...etc... | | Where you go for quiet moments: My bed. | | Memories of teachers at school: The best times were on ski trips with the likes of Mr. Horn and Mr. Hall. | | Any habits, annoying or otherwise: Think you'd better ask my flat mate Mike about that! | | | E-mail Clarky | Listen again to The Northern Uproar |
