Andy Hayes

Andy gets up at 3am to bring Capital's Early Breakfast listeners the latest news headlines. Read on to find out a bit more about him.

Name: Andy Hayes

Birthday: 9th December

Starsign: Sagittarius

Place of Birth:
Hampton Court

Who's the biggest star you've met?
I've seen Nelly Furtado and Sir Paul McCartney in the next door studio (not at the same time). Does that count?

How would your friends describe you? Opinionated, argumentative, hopefully funny at times

What's the best story you've covered?
The Iraq war.

What's the best thing about working for Capital 95.8? Being on London's most important station, and being able to tell the listeners about things which affect their lives.

Your most embarrassing on-air moment? Cracking up laughing (at another station - haven't done that at Capital fortunately!)

Favourite "and finally"? The elderly man in Portugal who drove his car into the metro system, ending up in a station.

What advice would you give to wannabe journalists? Get plenty of work experience - a college course is useful, but being able to do the job is what really matters.
