On Wednesday 3rd September Maurice has been invited to be the guest on the Nigel Williams 6@6 show on Smooth Radio (105.7) from 6 – 7pm. The one hour show features 6 tunes chosen from a long list by the guest, and the “star” is certainly showing his age by the choices:
Last Thursday, August 14th., Maurice was the guest on John Holmes’ Afternoon Show on Radio Nottingham from 3 – 4 pm. The broadcast seems to have gone down very well, and many calls of congratulations were received.
Certain aspects of the book, which John had clearly read in depth, fascinated the interviewer, notably Petanque, Courts Leet and the Rare Breeds Survival Trust, and he questioned Maurice quite thoroughly on those subjects. Also coming under scrutiny was Maurice’s several years at Becket School in Nottingham, and in the interview he did admit that it was the rowing crews which had a greater appeal than the academic side!
In the past Maurice was a regular contributor on BBC Radio Solent and it is this background which helped generate such an interesting show, and of course John Holmes himself is one of the BBC’s longest serving regional presenters.
Not sure whether Will actually signed copies of Hamlet at Waterstones in Stratford-upon-Avon, but Maurice certainly will be on Saturday 6th September from 10am to 4pm – signing copies of Big Days in Ashthorpe Magna not Hamlet!
Leaflets based on the book cover will be distributed by Waterstones for a couple of weeks before the event, and Maurice is hoping to generate interest through local press and radio.
If any readers of this website are within striking distance of Stratford-upon-Avon please come along and meet Maurice.
