WC August 1.

I’m delighted to have been retained by the new editor of The Beacon and have followed up my interview with COLIN CARMICHAEL with something different – an interview with a world famous star who came to the Island, unexpectedly, back in 1989. Sadly, he has now passed on but rarely did interviews. Look out for the September issue to find out who it will be.

I enjoyed my Thursday morning talk at the Island’s Applegate Breast Care Support Group at the Riverside Centre. Lovely group of ladies and a real pleasure to talk to. The Applegate Nurses were particularly kind to my late wife, Heather, around ten years ago. I will support them anytime.

When I met Jim Davidson a few days ago he mentioned an Isle of Wight entertainer called Keith O’Keefe – and how funny he was. Jim was spot on and on Sunday afternoon, at my new recording studio in Yarmouth, I invited him along. What a great surprise! Keith was just brilliant to talk to. I just can’t believe how good he was. He was so good he will be online by this Friday lunchtime. He lives in Freshwater.
