Another Little Update to Ye Olde Halle of Fayme

I've gotten behind in just about everything to do with this show - photos, interviews, updates, the lot. My profuse apologies. Here's an update of my Hall of Fame to partially rectify things.
Living legend Chas Hodges spoke to us down the line on August 26th. We spoke about his new book, Chas' Rock and Roll Allotment, and the ongoing plans for a Chas'n'Dave farewell tour.On the same day, we were joined in the studio by three-quarters of The Deadly Pineapples (l-r: Liam Nichol, Andrew Craig, Andrew Cheyne). They were in to promote their new album, Bad News For The Optimists.Most recently, on September 23rd, we were joined for half an hour by Angelina Danskin, who read some of her poetry and an exclusive extract from her new book, The Tales of Picklenob. Watch this space for competition news on that front...

See you next Thursday :)
