It was a long day and Maria and baby say Ray j. Link could show you're listening to Carla Grange good afternoon I was watching tenable yesterday and I want to wildlife are late I would worry Davis he has that as a name one of the questions was about Blondie was what was that the top 10 best selling singles that wasn't one of them and it came a bit late in it but I really like that woman it's a great song got some great guests all on the show as well today including Brian blasted. Oh yeah. That taken from Flash Gordon one of the many films he set featured in you'll hear his voice at the moment he stars in Peppa Pig something I watch all the time of course because of my little girly place crampy rabbit but he's done so much more than that and he's coming to grant them to tell you all about it he'll be at some Wolfram's this weekend to talk about his life and my goodness what a life he's led not only is he an actor and raconteur But of course he's also an explorer as well as me having climbed Mount Everest or attempted to climb Mount Everest twice without oxygen he plans to retire he's 83. His wife will apparently allow it I don't think she's got much choice but he continues to explore he's climbed Kilimanjaro as well and so also had cosmonaut training as well in Russia what a man he is you'll hear from him in just a moment after this. With the and. Heart chocolates and everyone so we're now on b.b.c. Radio Lincolnshire I felt like a winner when I got to chat to one of my heroes Brian bless it I don't know what it is often fascinated with this man since I was about 3 years old I just think he's remarkable that you could go and see it was coming to us and Wolfram's Jad in Grantham on Saturday he'll be so King about his life his numerous films and t.v. Shows as well including Flash Gordon Dr Who Kenneth Branagh's Shakespeare films as well he starred in a lot of those he's had a career spanning more than 50 years so and he's also denied for exploration as well with his trips to Mount Everest amongst other things my goodness what a man he is 83 he's just tired and he reckons he's going back up Mount Everest he's going to give it another go bearing in mind he does this without oxygen. He's now in for his bathing voice isn't a he's an absolute talent but he talks in this shy about his childhood as well in life growing up in South Yorkshire with his parents which is where we started when we had a chat it was a step very very exciting time I mean our daughter up with drama brought up with my dad we were all of our Mort. I didn't go you know what I mean I actually got a big fella grabbing broad shoulders who were no bar No Pit Bar and he come back you know the gas lights of the mist it comes to the mix with you so much all it. And any comments of it pick me up and carry me into the house so I'm reading the be you know dad really amazing Mr x. And it came to the very last fall and it was like a novelty sad that my room there was my mother of course mothers of us what it will be the world I remember mother was. Was a great big fire black kettle on the fire and there was reason you know to Saturday night or. Not or didn't bomb it was a very exciting time and I guess I really just every weekend to see Flash Gordon. In the local cinema and I was pretended out to reduce you get an episode each week and either would pretend to be a voter on the flying or woman looking at the old man I never thought that one day I'd actually played in a film but we'll talk about that little bit later if we may I wanted to mention something else and I read in your book a sort of gold management from from your childhood when you remember seeing Mal odds I'm like I'm a typical right that the speed record just outside of grant them in a good shot at you when we could really are a bunch of I don't have to plan to see it and he burst through the mist 1 November evening all with his tenders and through the mist is great blue Moby Dick I'm a just sent to my knee as a good sign saying the Flying Scotsman had seen I things like that and the red dragon of Wales and the cock of an old always going to Black Prince all these great trains at the. Jesus Christ Well that's right I mean defies description I mean that I mean about trains mean the trains are not bloody 'd trains are. Kind of glamorize electrical busses Well we talked about you Dad and the memories you have as a family with these helmets that lifts out walking through the mist that of course mining that the maiden industry hit in the area but it was an industry you didn't want to say to to get involved in Weldon and you were right in that most coal mine didn't want to the sun was to get on the mine eyes to find it. And it's a nightmare because my dad was gassed 3 times and my dad was crushed once a rescue people from fires family was. Badly injured in the day for his life any or all worry that he'd 'd die of shock but 'd he survived and so I went to leave school 14 and became an undertaker's assistant to an extra 3 pounds to my mother there were tough days but all my uncles and all that they were artistic people this is the length the blue head of your shows full of drama gave Barron Judi Dench Patrick Stewart you name it Betty is to come and visit me 2 years younger than me and sit in my little room my box room and probably that video we do Shakespeare together from the age of 9 Well this was something else all right and I was amazed that you had such a long friendship with Patrick Stewart also made. It read he had elocution lessons . When I was going to Adelaide it while we went on drama course was in the called the valley and there were professional teachers we couldn't believe it and Patrick and I did plays with them for a week and I was part of the mix prepared to give orders all my school teachers are in it and they were brilliant actors and I played Heath Griffin weathering eyes. Bramble Bronte and one avoids it was impossible for Patrick and me to go professional because he was a son of the milkman and I was a son of a cone hero is unheard of and anyway we went in and we did a lot of amateur theatre and then we had these marvelous train is a speech now we didn't want to lose our Yorkshire expression he's a great teacher said you don't keep your Yorkshire expression but we'll teach you to speak and otherwise you'll be limited to a Yorkshire accent for Hamlet in Othello and things like that I mean practical because when I meet him you 'd know on rare occasions now we have this friendship between you know good. Roger keep cropping up about these mountains are likely pretty good about going to die yes every soured when he was 40 or 40 years of age that I losing my hair or yet not I just as you just know well the visit his parents had not being there a different house elder 'd mind is really to wrestling eyes to resume that in mind which confused Patrick Marion is as a very Victorian and 'd a dad quite severe and so forth and everybody everyone was booked. I thought crimes done sorry that you're going to be bald. Men so I cannot believe that somebody was bolted and looks like to mention who is a sex symbol in America. Regards stop it stop it stop it but every time I read your replies we are. Going to get killed on the next mountain. To go somewhere on. Well I'm not going to look. You know I've got. Brian blasted their chat saying about his life growing up in South Yorkshire with his dad to his friendship with Patrick Stuart a friendship which remains and how he 1st got into acting of course there's more to come there's more plenty more by chat with Brian he talks a little bit more about his acting career is that cause Of course one of the 1st things that he started on the baby say corner as well and we'll talk about some of those sex but he's taken that as well so that says Still to come baby see right now there let's go to the right b.b.c.

To that song the theme to Flash Gordon who starred in Flash Gordon Well of course it was Brian blasted who is coming to Lincoln so he'll be at some Wolfram's on Saturday in Grafton talking about his life he was in numerous films and t.v. Shows including Dr hay was when he was in that. Which really was was the moment he he was on.

Colleges get me a scholarship my parents couldn't believe my 1st year was not you know let 4 lb Knight you know 'd 'd 6 a week and 7 Swope was about May and that played big parts and I went on the friend of the reps I mean I met with about Ajax and great big leaves. And then quite suddenly I was on television I was in this. Huge it was because the Beatles. 62 I was cast as census ratings at cars and it was live 45 minutes 5 in 5 minutes so I think some of the episodes in 'd many experts agree with me not because I was in it but in some of the television ins that counts is the finest television as it was so real we limited to the b.b.c. One them it's a b.b.c. Turn on t.v.

Brian blasted talking about his career my goodness what a craze had his say 3 planning his next to escapade system hypes to go up Mount Everest again without oxygen I might add his coming to grant that he'll be at some Wolfram's on Saturday it's half past 7 start an evening with Brian blessid and to he'll be interviewed on stage by Steve Haley who will be auctioning film memorabilia and autographs as well from the other celebrities he's met but Brian blessid the main man for the evening talking about his career I'm expecting a long one to die. In a short stay car park would be my advice. Thanks . B.b.c. Radio. Jessie j. And price tag baby sea right Dad made. Never forget about the price tag you always have to check back in k.c. In the Sunshine Band before that would give it up to Andres voted to act he says I think that the k.c. Sunshine Band sing at sounds like Benny from Top Cat I can't think what he sounds like Andrew saw it just have to take I with you lovely to have you back says Andrew and Luca thank you very much by getting in touch as we have some music all for a different kind let's have a little bit of swaying it say in honor of the fact that said the r.f. Swing waiting will be performing once again at Lincoln's drill hole this autumn that back and they'll be delighting audiences with the music from original great such as Ted Heath and Glenn Miller. And. The way I. Am about. The room I am going to. Go only I. Am. Told. Thanks. I am. Let. Me. Glenn Miller and American patrol on baby say right here Lincoln said that song and many more from Glenn Miller and Ted Hayes there as well as the likes of from Michael do blind Gordon Goodwin will be performed at said the drill hole in Lincoln this weekend as it welcomes a back Aria swing wing and I'm delighted to say Mr Jeff Burton station officer for the Lincoln Center and nothing I'm sure our a.f. Association joins me now tapping away to that means that Jack I believe under the table wherever you are very very much so it's a it's a it's a wonderful air in some beautiful music I say wherever you are I do know that you are actually at r.s. Camp that the maven on even you've been showing us and showing people around yes I have a group of veterans at the moment that are having a station visit today at Oriel scamped And so it's kind of a broken away from the 2 of us each on the radio of a veteran who a would have served at Scamp than in their time I believe a couple of them do they're actually a branch or an or if Association branch from Nottingham Cher but they've come down here for the day oversee scum turn that haven't got much longer to go I'm afraid so they oversee took the opportunity of having a station visit today absolutely Well I hope they they enjoyed having a look round but if we of course are looking forward to seeing you performing I say you will you be performing or do you just look after the band now what myself and the the station Russell oh team so each are of station has a group of service men and women who fundraise and raise the profile of the area station so they are Association and they're called rustlers and they are the ones that are actually putting on this event and obviously I'm just coming along to the front and to chat to the audience of probably the half time so they're doing the privilege the the structure of it and organizing it and obviously they are e.f. College bound. From Well part of them is called the swing wing ground about 2020 pounds men and women who come along and for the last 10 probably 11 years now we've had the event and they provide an incredible evening's entertainment for for the audience who come along to the drivel I love that I've heard of the graph alive because I have a little girl but not Rafa lie. I like the NY It's very good when you come to perform there we've had a piece of me there from Glen Miller coffee you'll have Glad military a lot have more modern me there because while I think they'll be a whole choice each year the band master in the band change what they're going to do and it's really down to them anything within the swing as you mention Michael bublé But but the the music crosses so many generations from Glenn Miller Benny Goodman to keling turn would he have been as you said Ted Heath count Basey all foot tapping and it's naturally I think here whether you're whether you're kind of somebody in the teens or twenties or whether you're much older the music just naturally makes you want to tap and feel good and it's just the nature of that kind of music is it's wonderful it is that the ability forward to it how long has the power of had a swaying wing. Well that's a very good. I have to be honest and say a little secret 11 years ago that the event started 11 years ago when I was still in the r.a.f. And I was. Strange enough I was the organizer of the very 1st a vent so we certainly have the swing wing for that amount of time and I imagine probably another 5 or 10 years before that but I'm not sure but it's certainly a very valued part of of what the college fund does I can't offer to speak for them because they are there or there are a separate entity but yes everybody thoroughly enjoys the music and having that a separate part of the band that can do kind of shows inside and just give so much so many people so much pleasure and enjoyment say you were one of the organizers of the. Event 11 years ago you say was that real whole it was at the drill hole Yes and it was very much a case of we just put our toe in the water to see if we could and the event was designed obviously for to provide the music for people but obviously to fundraise for the r.f. Association in those days I was I was a rough follow but worked as a member of the r e f Now I actually work for the r.f. Association itself Goodness me and how is the event taken off it is a bigger every year it's different every year because obviously the drill hole was I think a seating capacity of just shy of $370.00 seats and every single year they sell out almost to a single seat so it's always a packed audience always a very very excitable and vibrant audience that come along most people probably don't have the area of connection but they enjoy the music and that's the thing that binds people together and it's a wonderful audience and a wonderful show each year absolutely I'm sure it will be this year as well I imagine raising money that's a big big part of base where does the money guy what he does they get spent on all the profits that come from the evening when you when you visit discounted everything else that we have to pay for all of the profits go to the r.f. Association obviously which is what the leading me. Shipping organization and charity that provides the welfare support to serving an ex members of the r.f. Personnel and their families so it goes directly into the heart of providing that welfare support brilliant brilliant well like good luck for the evening I keep thinking it's some time away being the 1st of November but of course it's almost upon math it's only yes and they're only I spoke to the box office today and there are only 70 or just under 70 tickets left so anybody that needs or would like to come along to it the drill all tell me there are 3 ways that they can do it if you if you don't mind me just saying they can either go on to the drill hole website which is obviously w w w dot Lincoln drill hole or one word dot com or they can email in on box office or one word at drill hole sorry Lincoln drill hole dot com All they can ring in 115-228-7389 extension 44 those that perhaps all familiar the drill all the entrance to it is on free school line at the back of Silva street parade no excuse in their daft that they've got to get into that in there and get a ticket thank you very much it's a thing the fact you have been there and that sleep lies there lovely thank you very much Carla thank you again you Jeff that and their station officer for the Lincolnshire and nothing I'm sure r.f. Association he was the one of the organizers of the 1st r.f.
