Thread Name: Fame at last Les Barker!
Subject: RE: BS: Fame at last Les Barker!
Sarah Kennedy read her "Brussels Sprouts" out last Thursday. It was one of those moments when you can't really believe you've heard the name "Les Barker" at 7.15am on Radio 2! As she would say, I had my "leg in a pant" and nearly fell over with surprise! It's all on a charity double CD in aid of computers for the blind, called "Guide cats for the Blind" - Osmosys OSMO CD 020/21. It was apparently released about a month ago. It's also got the likes of Cyril Tawney, Roy Hudd, Bernard Wrigley, Martin Carthy, Mark & Lard and Nicholas Parsons on it, to name but a few.

I've got it on order from Amazon cos none of the stores in York had it, although HMV said that as I was the second person to ask for it, they'd better get some in. Unfortunately I can't get up to York this week, so it had to be Amazon.
