Winging towards another bank holiday weekend!

Bank Holiday Weekend, so of course, it's raining! But never mind, kick back, relax and let me and the Friday Afternoon Show bring some much needed Sunshine into your life. As ever we have some fascinating guests to chat with including many making a welcome return visit to the show:

Eileen Fielding from Dudley Council for Voluntary Services is coming along to chat about Volunteers Week, which is an annual celebration of the terrific work undertaken by volunteers throughout the UK and this, the 30th year of Volunteers Week, falls between 1st & 7th June. Eileen will be telling us about how you can get involved through a variety of Volunteer Fayres and open days.




Newcomer to the show and organiser of the largest Vegan Festival in the UK and arguably the world, Tim Barford, will be along to tell us all about this years event taking place this weekend, and even as I sit typing this, in Bristol. Headline bands, great food, friendly people and an amazing vibe, what's not to like?


The multi award winning Side by Side Theatre are an absolute favourite of The Afternoon Show, The Bridge and from a personal point of view are always a joy to interview. Sue Wallin MBE and members of Side by Side are coming along to tell us all about their latest production 'Illyria on Sea', and about their ongoing partnership with the RSC, and some exciting news about the Edinburgh Festival.

The inimitable Colin Blunstone chats with me about his UK tour, promoting his solo album 'On the Air Tonight'. Colin will be at one of his favourite UK venues, The Robin 2 in Bilston on 8th June, and tickets are still available. 


Finally we say a big hello to Ukulele player extraordinaire, leading light of the fight to Save Dudley Hippodrome, and Chairman of the Stourbridge branch of the George Formby Society, Malcolm Palmer.
Malcolm will be discussing all these things, plus no doubt a plethora of other interests.



Simon isn't with us this week, but he has put together a Todays Top Ten and Liam & I will attempt to do it justice. This week also sees the return of Lost in Translation, and Liam will be presenting that throughout the show. Oh and the featured artist today is Ultravox.

So come along and join the fun, you're always welcome.

'Turned out nice again'
