Deeply Dippy
 
Right Said Fred... 26 years ago since the days of Deeply Dippy and I'm too Sexy.  That will make you feel old!
I spoke to Richard Fairbrass about those early days, being kept from the top of the charts by green tights, and how did the band get it's name?
As broadcast on www.radiowey.co.uk

Wonder Man!
Is David Hasslehoff really popular in Germany? In the second part of our chat Richard gives his view on this, talks about Right Said Fred's rize to fame, and how he feels the band went on to loose their direction in the Wonderman era. (Yes i brought that single!)

I'm too Sexy.....
 
As broadcast on www.radiowey.co.uk this is the final part of my chat with Richard Fairbrass from Right Said Fred. Here Richard chats about how the group found its direction in the mid to late 90's, and looks ahead to being back on the road with the new tour.
 

Around the Wards 
 
One of the things I love abut Hospital Radio is how it offers a unique service to the patients. I enjoy  getting into the wards and collecting requests. Also hearing (and recording) memories and stories from patients who come from a wide range of backgrounds.
I recently went to a ward in St Peters Hospital and was told by other patients that  I had to chat to Nancy who had just turned 103. Born in 1914, Nancy has many tales to tell  as this audio clip will show. 
 
DISCLAIMER: Nancy's family have given permison for the photo and the audio to be used.

So it's British Pie Week!  Yes we are talking about the pie you eat  not that confusing mathmatical thing we did at school. A week to celebrate (and eat) pies!
The next best thing to eating pies is chatting about them on the radio. I spoke to Sarah Pettergree of Brays Cottage Pork Pies based in Norfolk.
Sarah grew up around food and farming, and ended up quiting the rat race to make pork pies for a living. Yes the humple pork pie is now Sarah's bread and butter!
Sarah tells me how she grew her business, using local suppliers and training local people to make the pies.
Ten years on Sarah has not looked back, selling the pies across the county via independent retailers. If you visit her website www.perfectpie.co.uk you can findyour nearest stockist or even order pies online!
