Gene Pitney

Richard was lucky enough to be given the chance to interview Gene Pitney just before he began what would turn out to be his final tour. The late singer had lots of connections to Bristol and a huge fanbase here. One of those fans rang the station with a bizarre story about singing one of Gene's hit songs.

Simon Pegg, Richard Lewis and Nick Frost

Simon's new film, Hot Fuzz, was filmed around the West and features the Somerset city of Wells. But the connections don't stop there: Simon went to Bristol University and Nick dons a Bristol Rovers shirt in one scene of the comedy flick. Watch the interview from the Radio Bristol studios and you can even have a little sneaky look behind-the-scenes!
