About Me


Toby Kell-Ogg is descended from the Quel family, ancient French nobility who came to this country with William the Conqueror.

The Kell in Kell-Ogg of course, is an Anglicised version of Quel which, as all students of French will know, literally translates as ‘what’.

The other side of the Kell-Ogg union – brought about in 1342, when Viscomte Egberte du Quel married Lady Boadicea Ogg – is even older.

It is now believed that the Ogg’s, who were certainly Vikings, could trace their lineage back to the Bronze Age and before.

Indeed, the shortened ‘O’ sound in Ogg is thought to be a stone age grunt for the very first definite article

In other words, in early grunt, ‘O’ meant ‘the’. And the ‘Ger’ sound in ‘Gg’ is thought to be pre-historic slang for ‘fornicate’, an activity of which men and women of this period – pre personal computer, remember - were particularly fond.

To sum up, the combined, Norman/Caveman meaning of Kell-Ogg is ‘what the f…..”

Toby Kell-Ogg, who has a full head of hair, is 35.

Footnote:
It is actually recorded in The Doomsday Book that Viscomte Egberte du Quel and his legendarily beautiful bride, Lady Boadicea Ogg – inherited traces of whose stunning bone structure can still be seen in the face of Appollonia Kell-Ogg, Toby’s daughter, and perhaps even more so in his own – were toasted at their marriage with ‘a bevrij of muche thickenesse and yelonesse’ specially created by their parish rabbi who they later had burnt at the stake. The couple, who were much loved by their serfs, became popularly known as Eg n’ Ogg and this term of affection later metamorphosed into the name by which this drink is now known.

Rienkje
Rienkje Attoh is one of Toby Kell-Ogg’s Oggette side kicks and also an experienced Broadcast Journalist.

In 2006 she left London for the West Country to embark on a career in broadcast journalism. She returned to London late in 2009 with a Masters Degree and experience having worked with some of the world’s leading news broadcasters. Trained in Radio, TV and Online she was made one of the BBC's first multi-media Broadcast Journalists and has produced news and current affairs programmes for the BBC in the South West, South East and London, including The Politics Show and Inside Out.

Simone (Jammie) Jemmott

Simone (Jammie)
Simone AKA Jammie is Toby Kell-Ogg’s representative ‘equerry’ and sidekick, but most importantly, one of the wonderful Oggettes. She works tirelessly every Saturday in an attempt to help Toby through those delusions of grandeur and past lives.

Jammie has presented deep & soulful house music shows and presented and contributed on entertainment, arts and culture shows for various local and community radio stations around London – interviewing amongst others, authors, artists, performers, and film-makers. Jammie is currently working in publishing and graphic design whilst contributing to the Saturday Salmagundi. You can find her riding around London on her trusty Vespa in search of good films, and talks or (without the Vespa) in lovely bars with great music.

Vanessa Maynard

Vanessa
Vanessa Maynard is the newest of Toby’s Oggettes but her training wheels are long gone!

Vanessa has been involved in radio since the tender age of 15 at her local hospital radio station and has a background in PR, so is not shy of letting her voice be heard. She may be the most petite of the team but Vanessa has bags of energy at a time when most people are cosy in bed. Vanessa keeps everything flowing smoothly with her secret weapon – a fabulous cup of tea! This of course keeps Toby sweet, which generally helps Toby/Oggette relations, so she’s not just a pretty face.

When she’s not at Colourful, Vanessa loves going to the cinema, watching lots of trashy TV and eating family sized bags of Harribo!
