Martyn and Louise

Martyn Bonner

It’s great to be part of the Vectis Radio team. This is my first foray into radio which is exciting as I love to try new things and my ever-growing catalogue of hobbies and interests is a real mishmash of different experiences and pursuits – from stand-up comedy to Skydiving, I’ll give anything a go!

My music taste covers nearly all decades and genres but with a strong affection for dance music and I love to get lost mixing records on my decks. I have also been trying to teach myself to play guitar over the last couple of years, but it’s fair to say I don’t think I will be forming a band anytime soon.

I’m also an avid fan of most sports, although my big passions lie with football, boxing and basketball. I try to keep active but I am more of a spectator than participant these days and as a lifelong supporter of Arsenal FC I have enough heart ache without putting my body through any more unnecessary trauma.

Originally from the island I spent a number of years away with spells living in London and south Wales before returning back to our little corner of paradise where I worked in the field of customer experience for a large chunk of my working life. More recently a twist of fate has led me to becoming a full-time carer for my disabled mum.

Louise ‘Luigi’ Gambling

I’m Louise, aka Luigi to my Vectis Radio buddies. I’m so excited to be joining Martyn Bonner on the Thursday afternoon show. It’s an interesting partnership given that I’m a Spurs fan and he supports Arsenal! But, seriously, everyone has been so welcoming at the station. I’m a keen beginner who has always had an interest in current affairs. I’m hoping to learn new skills whilst brightening up Thursday afternoons with a bit of banter and a spotlight on local news stories and events from the week. I might even see if we can sneak in some classic rock to the show (my favourite music genre)…
