My #SteveWright book is probably only going to be number one in Radio Entertainment books on Amazon for about three seconds so I’m posting this pronto!

Now seems timely to put this absolute classic out there again. We need to see them at WHW! OK, a bit outside the period. But, hey…🤷‍♂️

With the Bayeux Tapestry in the news, it’s time to resurrect this absolute classic of historical re/enactments.

I went to the cast and crew screening last night of this extremely impressive anthology movie. Film-making with huge leaps of imagination and craft. Excellent! #ouatis #FilmSuffolk #Suffolk Tickets linktr.ee/ouatis

This is a great concept that answers the perennial problem with a short film - what do you do with it once you've made it? This feature length film is actually nine shorts knitted together on a single theme, so it''s a proper film experience Tickets linktr.ee/ouatis

It's Friday. We're not saying the #HeroRATs are judging this week's productivity. But they did help clear a minefield before breakfast. Happy #FullCheekyFriday! #APOPO #FridayFeastday #AfricanGiantPouchedRat #FCF

Thanks Ian, so glad you enyoyed it

As an avid listener to SW in the late 80s and then on Radio 2 this is a must-read, revealing much about what went on behind the scenes and of what an unsung, misunderstood, distinctive genius Steve Wright was.

Available for the time being (along with the Kindle and the audiobook), from our Amazon overlords. Working on a independent hardback to go out through bookshops.

There's an Elton John website/radio station and I did an interview for them - Elton came in to SWITA during the 1990 World Cup Check them out - there's a preview here eltonjohn.world/preview-stev… #stevewright #eltonjohn

PREVIEW • Steve Wright’s Jonathan Ruffle | ENCORE!

Disc jockey's have been instrumental in helping Elton progress as a musician over the years. Tony Blackburn played Lady Samantha on then junior BBC Radio 1 in 1967 and Steve Wright went one better,...

One of the best habits I’ve picked up this year is reading more. These are my three favourite books so far in 2026. If you’ve not read them yet, I’d definitely recommend giving them a go. 📚😊 @TiggyWalker, @JonathanRuffle, @MiriamOCal

For Saturday I've been listening to all sorts of stations throughout the UK via the communitymedia.uk webpage, and I'm enjoying their output just as much as that from their hugely resourced bigger rivals. Hurrah for them!

I'll be bringing some copies of the book along - I don't have a functioning card-reading doohickey at the minute so will be doing a discount for cash

Very sad indeed to hear the news of Stephen Bungay’s passing. His work on the Battle of Britain was remarkable.

I'm in Weimar where there are traces of the people I wrote about everywhere. This was Hedwig Hetemann's shop where she repaired toys for children. It was destroyed by the SA in the pogrom of 1938 because she was Jewish. Nobody helped her. She became withdrawn and isolated. 1/2
