For more than 25 years Nicola was the brilliant voice of our arts coverage and was hugely respected and admired by those in the Welsh creative communities whose work she brought to the widest possible audience.

And what a voice she had – that distinctive and beautiful deep timbre and wonderful eloquence.
She brought the insight of a highly experienced news and current affairs journalist and the passion of an arts fanatic. She was fascinated by performers and artists and the stories behind the work they created and always looked for imaginative ways to communicate these stories.

Nicola championed Welsh culture and hated the idea that the arts were some kind of posh pursuit for the elite – she always strived to make her programmes accessible and entertaining without ever sacrificing the integrity of her subjects. She had a fabulous sense of humour and a twinkle in the eye – Nicola was always fantastic company.

Wales has lost one of its greatest broadcasters.
