comment by:honeybunI first heard tony on Red Dragon many years ago when he did the traffic and travel on the breakfast show with Chris Moore. I was a Tupperware lady and my girls and I used to go to the Red Dragon party nights at xmas. When Tony left I did too and now that he is no longer on Capital Gold neither am I. He will be missed he used to brighten up my journey to work.
comment by:StarRainI have seen Tony many times when he has been on stage and he has also performed with John Barrowman at the new theater in Cardiff. He now presents the real radio breakfast show.
comment by:merlin44I and my family have known Tony for over twenty years. We all met him on Cardiff Road Newport in the pouring rain when he was raising money for cancer walking from Barry to Newport. I've still got the photo's . He's a great person as he does a lot for many charities, loves animals. Now he is with real radio he brightens up each morning.
