First ime SP has called John Gilmour (Gilly on BBC RADIO LANCASHIRE !!). BESWICK discusses MOONBASES and Apollo XI landing ON THE MOON -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How essential is TURKEY at CHRISTMAS ? Despite the shortage of birds (700,000 fewer turkeys are available this Christmas, accoding to some newspapers, due to bird flu). I managed to get two Turkey Crowns from the brand new M&S Simply Food Store in Macclesfied with a £7 off voucher given to me on arrival, plus i already had another £7 in vouchers for M&S, so £14 off in total. Not bad at all & FREE PARKING !! and a brand new COSTA COFFEE & KFC !! This was half an hour after speaking live to Mike Sweeney about the shotage ! The wonderful KENNY EVERETT was born on Christmas Day 1944, one of the UKs most inventive Radio DJs and also TV personalities. Starting with NICE TIMG on Granada ITV in the 60s. THAMES TV let him lose in 1978 with the Kenny Everett Video Show with Hot Gossip ..... but I'm telling you the plot !! Ken left us on the 4th of April 1995 when I was in Jordan. I herard the news on the BBC WORLD SERVICE 1323 kHz from the Cyprus MW/AM transmitter and I cried. Kenny chooses his Desert Island Discs chatting openly and honestly to Sue Lawley. Spreaderz talks to Jeremy Beadle on INDEPENDENT RADIO ( Viking Radio [ Hull ], received in Mottram in Longdendale, Cheshire near Glossop, Derbyshire ) back in 1986, when Jeremy was 38 years old and I was 27. Mr Beadle had just launched an ILR (Independent Local Radio) show called BRAINBUSTERS just after he started his prank show BEADLE'S ABOUT in 1986 on LWT (London Weekend Television), Jeremy died at the age of 59 in January 2008. Edward in Hope Valley chooses his ALL TIME AMERICAN CLASIC TRACK but will it make the virtual juke box ? Plus a classic wind-up call from Mr Penkino. All this and the beautiful ENYA sings a carol in Gaelic, what a voice she has, pure as silk. A BUMPER 5 HOUR WINTER SPECIAL TO GIVE YOU SOMETHING COZY TO LISTEN TO ON THESE DARK WINTER NIGHTS in the NORTHERN HEMISPHERE :) OR ON THE BEACH IN AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND & SOUTH AFRICA :) ALL OF THE ABOVE PLUS ....... some rare album tracks by Reginald Kenneth Dwight 75 who is performing his final gig at GLASTONBURY this year (2023). He will be 76½ then, as his birthday is in March. Stage name Elton Hercules John. Haha
