Today has been rather sad as I’ve just got back from my dear friend COLIN BERRY‘s funeral, it was lovely to see another friend of mine Keith Skiews who I haven’t seen for a long time. We had a chat about our days out there on Radio Caroline and Big L Radio London

Just watching a clip from George & Mildred in which they go to the "young peoples" place for dinner. Got entranced by the poster on the wall. Whoa! That's the Beach Boys onstage during their "lost" years. #Sunflower #HipSetDresser

The 5X5 show at the Roundhouse was incredible. A massive band playing their best material in a small (for them) venue. It was like standing in front of a plane as it takes off.

James O’Brien starts his show by absolutely destroying Nigel Farage (who called JOB a “moron” with zero push back from Nick Ferrari) by simply stating reality #LBC

Listening to just how much @mrjamesob has rattled Farage on @LBC is absolutely hilarious.
