Radio 6

[Richard Lockwood]

Funnily enough, I nearly ended up with Tommy Vance as a prize once.  We (a
bunch of mates and I) "kidnapped" him live on "Friday Rock Show" air with
the help of one Mr I.Gillan on the first ever Comic Relief night, and
weren't going to let him go until enough pledges of cash had been made.
Fortunately, for all concerned, the pledges were eventually made, and he was
freed, live on air by Mr B.Dickinson of Iron Maiden fame, and Mr Robert
Catley of Magnum fame.  Two short blokes rescuing a DJ from a tall bloke.
Unlikely I feel, but the whole thing raised thousands for Comic Relief.

Oh, and it was the only time that I met Bob Catley that he didn't have his
mum with him.

(true - out of about eight occasions)

:-)

Cheers,

Rich.
