We've cleared the decks for our "Best Kept Secrets...In Conversation" radio show on 103.2 Preston FM this Friday 22nd June from 7pm as we are devoting practically the whole programme to a previously unaired in depth interview with top actor and writer Victor Spinetti, who died earlier this week aged 82.
We met Victior when he came to Blackpool in July 2010 and you'll be able to listen - as enthralled as we were at the time - to his fascinating stories about working with the Beatles, Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor (all with funny voices...), about how he came to be the "Mad Jaffa Cake Eater...", holidays to Blackpool, meeting his childhood cinema idol Frank Randle, about being Welsh, not speaking Italian and a while lot more besides.
This is our own tribute to great actor who will be sadly missed.
Also on the show, you can hear the song "Like A Diamond" by Anton Lorient, which was written especially by the British Monarchist Society for the Queen's Jubilee.
We'll also be talking about the Blackpool Seagulls ice hockey team who are doing the Manchester to Blackpool bike ride in aid of Trinity Hospice and Brian House Childrens Hospice (support them here: www.justgiving.com/blackpool-seagulls ) ,
and there also a new release from Sunstrand , whose interview we will now be featuring in our next show instead.
So join us between 7 and 8pm on Friday. You can tune in on 103.2 FM in the local area or worldwide via the internet by going to www.preston.fm and clicking on "listen live".
