A few days ago you posted about a cancelled FGTH interview.
Yes. That's now happening this Saturday - it was confirmed yesterday. I'll probably dedicate the show to my friend as Nasher knew him too.
Regarding the show I'm hoping it will go well because I'm trying to make it different to the other ones he's been doing. For instance I'm going introduce a mini-quiz and play songs from his past like the first record he ever bought, a version of You'll Never Walk Alone sung by Frank Sinatra which was always played as a child when he got his Subutteo set out etc. He won't have heard that in years I suspect.
I'm also taking in vinyl copies of albums that were important to him during his youth such as Hunky Dory by Bowie to use as visual prompts. The questions I will ask will be a little bit more obscure generally speaking but I'll obviously have to cover the banning of Relax by Mike Read in '84.
The plan is for him to play three songs live and I'll throw a few more surprises in along the way. He's 50 in a few months and I wanted to cover as much of his life as I could in 2 hours.
