Description
Graham recounts interviewing Steve Howe of Yes about their forthcoming UK tour and York Barbican gig. Benjamin Francis Leftwich live in Leeds? Yes please! Charles is captivated by a fascinating gig at Leeds' Brudenell Social Club. Graham enters the crazy world of data retrieval as he reveals how he nearly lost his entire draft manuscript for a book on Magna Carta's Chris Simpson. Graham has been writing it for four years now so to lose it would be brutal. Just back from a trip to Scotland Graham is pleased to share that he has been able to advance the book and  is close to finishing his first draft. The Spiegel Tent is back in Harrogate for the Festival. All praise the Spiegel Tent, there really is nothing else quite like it. Meanwhile Graham previews a new exhibition The Beatles’ Mad Day Out at Harrogate's RedHouse Originals art gallery - which should be opening soon. Finally, Graham sums up his enjoyment of a gig by the enchanting William Doyle.
